The greatest invention in my eyes ____________________________________________________________________One possible version:
The greatest invention in my eyes
The greatest invention in my eyes is the Internet.
With the Internet, we can do a lot of things. For example, we can shop, listen to music and watch films on it. The Internet makes the world smaller. We can talk to our friends and relatives far away without spending a lot of money. In addition, we can post our blogs on the Internet, so others can know what we are doing by visiting it. The Internet really makes our lives more exciting and easier.
