BRITISH AND AMERICAN INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS.
Students have prepared some presentations for their oral tests in second term. The topic was :
” Choose a British or American invention and show it to your mates.
Research about the history of the invention “.
Presentations have been really interesting and we’ve learnt a lot about some inventions. The list of the inventions is the following :
