Hello, my name is John Weed.I'm an inventor.I'm now working on a remote control.It can control your television, the lights and the temperature in your house.

A successful inventor needs to think of new things.The job of an inventor is just like any other job.It can be difficult and tiring, but the most important thing is to work hard and never give up.Many inventors have to experiment hundreds of times before they succeed.

Many people enjoy inventing things as a hobby.There's a Japanese society.It only makes inventions of little use in everyday life.Some examples include umbrella-hats and office shirts.People can wear the umbrella-hats when it is raining.The office shirts have calculators on them.

With everything in your time, it's important to work hard and enjoy yourself.
