B. Your product must be different from everybody else’s if you want to receive a patent.

What should we learn from this text?1. What’s the writing purpose of the writer?The writer wants to inform us of the scientific methods to solve present problems so that we students can not only broaden the horizons but become more skilled in discovering and considering carefully the problems in daily life. We are also encouraged by the writer to be creative and hardworking as well as thinking independently.2. What should we learn from this text?We can learn from the text the way of doing scientific researches and how to apply for a patent. We can also learn that it takes an inventor great determination persistence to achieve his or her ambition in life.Apply what we learn:In pairs look at the following problems. Choose one and use the scientific stages to design a new invention to solve it. Remember to include one change to your invention in case it doesn’t work the first time.Problem 1: the ripe apples on your apple tree are too high for you to reach. What can you invent to pick the apples in comfort?
Problem 2: You need to make a house but you only have strings, glue, fishing nets and many plastic bottles. How can you solve it?Problem 3: You want to catch fish but not hurt them when you do so. Design a fishing rod that will solve this problem.Write a passage about how to apply for a patent.
