Charles Chaplin was born in London on April 16, 1889. His parents were music hall actors. The Chaplin family were very poor, and life was difficult in London. Charlie, as he was called, used to do his mother’s job in the theatre when she was ill.
When he was only 17 years old, Chaplin got his first real job as an actor. What he did was to do silly things to make people laugh in the theatre. Seven years later he went to the US.

Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle in 1905 when he was only 11 years old. It was called the Epsicle at that time. Frank left his drink outside the door overnight with a stick（木棒）in it. That night the temperature dropped and everything was frozen including Frank’s drink. That didn’t stop him from tasting it, so today we have Popsicles to eat.

He made about 50 of them, but nobody was interested in it. People thought it would take jobs away from them. 300 years went by, and the calculator（计算器）finally became a success.

Not all inventions are made by scientists. Kids can also make history with their inventions.
The state flag of Alaska was designed by 13-year-old Bennie Benson in 1926. His design was chosen from a flag-designing competition. It became the official flag in 1959. Bennie won a ＄1,000 scholarship（奖学金）and a watch.
Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle in 1905 when he was only 11 years old. It was called the Epsicle at that time. Frank left his drink outside the door overnight with a stick（木棒）in it. That night the temperature dropped and everything was frozen including Frank’s drink. That didn’t stop him from tasting it, so today we have Popsicles to eat.
In 1642 Blaise Pascal designed the first counting machine when he was 18. The machine was for his father, a tax collector, to make his job easier. Blaise named it “the Pasealine”. He made about 50 of them, but nobody was interested in it. People thought it would take jobs away from them. 300 years went by, and the calculator（计算器）finally became a success. In 1968, the programming language（程序设计语言）, PASCAL, was named after him.

One possible version:
Liu Wei, an armless piano player, has a very special experience. He lost his arms in an accident at the age of 10, but he didn’t give up his dream of being a pianist. He tried to practice playing the piano with his feet. Finally he realized his dream in China’s Got Talent. He is my hero, and I’ve learnt a lot from his story. We may meet a lot of difficulties in our future life, but we should believe that our dream will come true by working hard. No matter how hard our life is, we won’t fail unless we give up our hope.
