Here is my essay (-: This is as far as I got in class.
On the continent of Asia there is a country called China. China is on the other side of the world to Washington, D.C. Although the President probably uses articles made in China. China also has a big population nearly 1.2 billion people live there! That’s a lot! This essay will tell you what Chinese invented.
The abacus was an early computer that helped with math. A Chinese man invented paper 1900 years ago and made it with pulp and rags. 900 years later someone mixed chemicals that exploded, fireworks!!! These are only a few of China’s inventions, but let’s move on to foods.
Many foods were invented in China. Chinese have been cultivating rice for over 7000 years! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. This yummy treat was also invented in China. Do you like a nice hot cup of tea? The Chinese have a myth that tea was invented when tea leaves blew into a pot of boiling water.
So China invented many cool things we use today. You might be using or eating something invented in China right now!
