MY FAVORITE INVENTOR

Innocenzo Manzetti

Antonio Meucci

My favorite inventor is Antonio Meucci. Meucci was born in Florence, on 13th April 1808. He was an Italian inventor and he was remembered for the invention of the telephone. At the age of 15, he went to Florence Academy of Fine Arts where he studied chemical and mechanical engineering. In 1834 Meucci constructed a type of acoustic telephone to communicate between the stage and central room at the Teatro of Pergola, in Florence. In reality, the Invention of telephone has more than an inventor, inter alia Innocenzo Manzetti, that introduced a telephone fully functioning. The problem was that they didn't have the brevet. Meucci didn't have enough money. And so, another inventor of Scottish origin, Alexander Graham Bell, in the 1876, it appropriated him of this invention and he did a fortune.

TONGUE-TWISTER: BETTY BOTTER

Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said "this butter's bitter!"
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter,
But a bit of better butter
Will surely make my batter better.

So she bought a bit of butter

Better than her bitter butter

And she put it in her batter

And her batter was not bitter.
So t'was better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

BIO CUBE

The character of my cube is Martin Luther King. He was born on January 15th, 1929, in Atlanta, and he was defined "Untiring apostle of not violent resistance". Martin Luther King has been important because he was against the differences between black and white people, and he fought so that it was dejected in America every type of ethnic prejudice. One of his obstacles is to have been accused of driving the association that he created, in a dictatorial way.

DESCRIBE A PICTURE

In this picture I can see two people that are sitting on a sofa. On the right there is a girl, with curly hair, and she's wearing a violet t-shirt with a jeans; and on the left there is a boy with a striped shirt and a jeans. The guy is playing with the playstation and he is very happy, but the girl is really bored. Probably they're engaged and maybe the girl is thinking about leaving him, because he isn't considered her. In the background I can see the wall of a house and a black table on it there's a vase of flowers.
