①What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam? Right. A pen.
②The history of the pen is very long. A long time ago, people used sharp stones to make marks on things. Then, in China, people invented the writing brush. It feels soft and can write beautiful characters. Later, the ancient Egyptians made reed(芦苇) pens. They cut reeds and used them to write. In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was popular to use feathers(羽毛) of birds to write. And now, we have all kinds of pens like ballpoint pens(圆珠笔) and gel pens(中性笔). They are very convenient.
③In the future, pens will be more amazing. With the development of science and technology, pens might have built-in(内置的) cameras to record what we write and draw. Maybe they can change colours according to our feelings and correct our spelling mistakes right away. They will also connect to the internet, helping search for information while writing. What's more, they will be made of new materials that are environmentally friendly.
④Pens are not just simple tools. They are the most powerful instrument which we own. They are a big part of culture and lives. They have changed the world greatly and will keep being important in the future.
