Professor
When people are asked about the most important discoveries or inventions made in the last two hundred years, they usually mention something very obvious, like the computer or the cell phone. But there are thousands of other discoveries or inventions that have had a huge impact on how we live today. What scientific discovery or technological invention from the last two hundred years—other than computers and cell phones—would you choose as being important? Why?
Paul
I mean, we’re so used to science and technology that we are not even aware of all the things we use in our daily lives. I would probably choose space satellites. This technology happened in the last hundred years, and it has become important for so many things. Just think about navigation, or telecommunications, or even the military.
Claire
I am thinking about medical progress. Like, for example, when scientists discovered things about healthy nutrition. I am thinking of identifying all the vitamins we need to stay healthy. I am not sure exactly when the vitamin discoveries happened, but I know they are very important. Our health is much better than it was 200 years ago.

As Pual and Claire said, space satellites and medical progress are very significant technological breakthroughs in human history. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the most crucial invention of humankind is the internet, because it links the whole world together and it makes us communicate more conveniently and quickly. For example, we use instant communication applications, such as Skype and WeChat, almost everyday. Furthermore, we can chat by using video chat whenever we want. During the pandemic, a lot of people were blocked at home. If it happened before the appearance of the internet, we can not illustrate things like the plan of a product development project clearly by using traditional phones or telegrams. However, we can have an online meeting and explain everything perfectly by using the internet, so nothing will be disturbed or delayed now.

Title: 6 文章修订
While Paul and Claire's points on space satellites and medical progress are valid, I believe that the most pivotal invention in the last two centuries is the internet. The internet has revolutionized global communication, enabling instantaneous connections across vast distances. For instance, applications such as Skype and WeChat have become integral to our daily lives, allowing us to engage in video chats at any time. The recent pandemic further highlighted the importance of the internet; countless individuals were confined to their homes, yet business operations and project developments continued seamlessly through online meetings. In a pre-internet era, such efficient communication would have been impossible with traditional phones or telegrams. Thus, the internet's transformative impact on our lives cannot be overstated.
