Inventions are everywhere in our life. They change the way we live, work and play. Before the invention of the refrigerator, people couldn’t keep food fresh for a long time. They had to buy food every day. Now refrigerators can keep food cold. We can store vegetables, fruit and meat easily. The washing machine is another useful invention. Before, people washed clothes by hand. It was tiring and took a lot of time. Now washing machines can wash clothes quickly and cleanly. People have more time to do other things.
