Reading about Alexander Graham Bell
Video on Alexander Graham Bell
Happy blogging!
While other friends were playing, Alexander Graham Bell studied about process of husking the wheat grain and then, he built a device that revolves and separate wheat. Even though he was just 12 years old and that was his first invention.
ReplyDeleteAnd after he made a telephone, he conducted a series of public demonstrations, ever increasing the distance between the two telephones.
Hi Jiwon,
DeleteI really agree with your comment. Alexander Graham Bell was a really smart person. I think he was studied very hard, that's why he was just 12 years old and he had his first invention.

Hi Jiwon,
DeleteI agree and disagree with you about Mr. Bell's first invention. I agree that his first invention was about the process of husking the wheat grain, and that he made it when he was only 12 years old. I disagree when you say that he made it while other friends were playing, actually he was playing with friends when he noticed that the husking process was really slow, and then we went home and designed the new invention.

Hello Jiwon,
DeleteI agree with you that Mr.Bell can invent about process of husking the wheat grain even though he still 12 years old, he show that how smart he is and how good he is in inventing stuff. so you did great JIWON.

Alexander Graham Bell had made his first invention when he was just 12 years old. And he learned about how to conversation with deaf people.

Hi lucy,
DeleteI agree with you when you say that Mr. Bell learned how to talk with deaf people. Mr. Bell was allways trying to find better ways to comunicate with deaf people, so deaf people would get more involved in the hearing world.
Igor
Hi Lucy,
DeleteI really agree with you. In the book, we can see that Mr.Bell tried to communicate with deaf.
By wathing the movie about Alexander Graham Bell,I noticed that he was really interested in helping deaf people, and that he invented other really interesting things besides the telephone and the hydrofoil. Since Alexander Graham Bell taught deaf students, he studied ways to communicate with deaf people, so they could interact more with the hearing world. In 1881, when the president of USA, James Garfield, got shot down in Washington, Alexander Graham Bell invented one machine that could be passed over the human body to detect metal, so with that machine the doctors could find where the bullet was inside James Garfield´s body, but it was to late to save him.
ReplyDeletePs: The movie was really good, and I learned a lot about Alexander Graham Bell´s life.
Igor
I really agree with your comment. Alexander Graham Bell was a really nice person, he is very conpassionate and he love to help people with no reason. I think because he studied to communicate with deaf people, and he accustomed to be kind to others.

Hi Igor,
DeleteI agree with your comment too. Alexander Graham Bell invented a lot of things except the telephone. He's really inventive.
At age 16 Alexander Graham bell accepted a position at Weston house Academy in Elgin, Scotland, Where taught elocution and music to students, many older than him. This show that he can teach student even though he is still young, also he show that he is really helpful to other people.

I think Bill is the older one. Billy is the oldest child in his family, he is fifteen years old, but he looks like a lot older than fifteen and could pass for eighteen. No one could guess right about his real age. He always hang out with some children older than him, that is one of the reasons why he looks like older than his age. At now, he was knew what are he supposed doing, even he didn't like to study before, but now he can concerned about his family, aware of their responsibilities, no capricious anymore. He doesn't want his mom worried about him, he just wants his mom know everything is ok, although he isn't. That's he as the oldest should be some behavior.

Hi Lucy,
DeleteI disagree when you say that he is the oldest because he is fifteen but looks older. He can look older but it doesn't mean that he is the oldest in the family. He is 15, and that is what it matters, his appearance doesn't mean anything, just his age and his behavior.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI thing William is the oldest because of his behavior. He shows that he really cares about his sister and his mother. He was playing poker at night without his mother knowing, so we could get some money to help. He shows that he really likes his family because he says that he is afraid that the government man will come to say that his dad died on a ship, and he is not there to help his mother. He looks older too, because he went to a city far away by himself, so he could work and get more money and some more education.
Hey ESL C,
ReplyDeleteWilliam is the oldest he shows a kindness to his sister, he has always worried about his sister. He show that he can do his job as an older brother, even he gets hurt he will protect his sister. This shows that the bond of brother and sister is unbeatable.
