MY FAVOURITE SCIENTIST
Science is one of my favourite subjects. I like to learn not only about various inventions and discoveries, but also about the scientists behind these inventions and discoveries.
Of all the scientists, I like Edison best, because he was a hard worker and a very fine human being. He is credited with inventing the telegraph, the electric bulb, the telephone, the dynamo, the motion picture machine and electric trains. There are hundreds of other small appliances that he has invented.
In school he was not very clever, but he was hard- working. As a scientist, he was patient and humble and kind. He encouraged the youth to work hard and to learn from their mistakes. He is the man who first provided the entire city of New York with electricity. The next city he electrified was Paris.
