Without inventions, we can't have a happy life. So since Iwas young, I' ve dreamed of inventing something that can help to improve the environment. Several days ago, I came up with a good idea for my invention. It's a special box which is used for holding waste. It can move and speak different languages. As soon as people throw away waste on the ground, it will be cleaned up by the box at once. At the same time, the box will tell people not to do that again. Of course, my box won't cost too much. In this way, labour and money can be saved. What do you think of my invention Will it be helpful in improving the environment
Thank you for listening!
