People often use the natural world as inspiration for their inventions. By observing animals and plants, they design new products to serve humans. Here are some examples.
Animals can do many things humans cannot, flying or staying underwater for a long time. The aeroplane, with its swings and shape imitating those of a bird, is one of the greatest inventions in our history. Thanks to it, people can travel long distances in the air. This has helped to develop trade and tourism. The submarine, which can travel
underwater, imitates a dolphin's shape. Submarines are very useful for scientists to learn about the undersea world. Plants around us are also great sources of ideas for other wonderful inventions. The self-cleaning glass window and the fabric used to make umbrellas are both inspired by the smooth leaves of a lotus plant, with their ability to wash away dirt in the rain. Another product is Velcro. This hook-and-loop fastener was invented after a Swiss engineer observed how the seeds of a plant clung to his clothing. He then made two fabrics sk together thanks to the hooks on one surface and the loops on the other. Since then, Velcro has gradually become a familiar fastener for shoes, jackets, and even spacesuits.
It is definitely true that nature has inspired numerous inventions and technologies. Scientists and inventors have tried to imitate something in nature in an effort to create better, stronger, safer tools and devices for our everyday life.
Tạm dịch:
Con người thường dùng thế giới tự nhiên như một nguồn cảm hứng cho những phát minh của họ. Bằng cách quan sát động vật và cây cối, con người thiết kế những sản phẩm để phục vụ loài người. Đây là một vài ví dụ.
Động vật có thể làm nhiều điều mà con người không thể làm, như bay hay sống trong nước trong thời gian dài. Máy bay, với cánh và hình dạng mô phỏng của loài chim, là một trong những sáng chế vĩ đại nhất trong lịch sử của chúng ta. Nhờ vào nó, con người có thể di chuyên những khoảng cách dài bằng đường hàng không. Điều này đã giúp phát triển thương mại và du lịch. Tàu ngầm, có thể chạy dưới nước, bắt chước hình dạng của cá heo. Tàu ngầm rất hữu ích cho các nhà khoa học nghiên cứu thế giới đại dương.
Cây cối xung quanh chúng ta cũng là những nguồn ý tưởng dồi dào cho những phát minh tuyệt diệu khác. Cửa sổ kính tự làm sạch và sợi vải được dùng làm ô đều được gợi ý tưởng bằng những chiến lá sen mềm mại, với khả năng làm sạch chất bẩn trong mưa. Một sản phẩm khác là khóa kéo. Loại khóa móc và vòng này được phát minh sau khi một kĩ sư người Thụy Sĩ quan sát cách những hạt giống bám chặt vào quần áo ông ấy. Sau đó ông làm 2 mảnh vải dính với nhau nhờ vào những cái móc trên bề mặt mảnh vải này và những cái vòng trên bề mặt mảnh vải kia. Kể từ đó, khóa kéo dần trở nên quen thuộc dùng cho giày, áo khoác, thậm chí là đồ du hành vũ trụ.
Chắc chắn rằng thiên nhiên đã khơi nguồn cảm hứng cho rất nhiều sáng chế và công nghệ. Các nhà khoa học và phát minh đã cố để mô phỏng một vài thứ trong thiên nhiên với mong muốn tạo ra những công cụ và thiết bị tốt hơn, chắc chắn hơn và an toàn hơn cho cuộc sống hằng ngày của chúng ta.

Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.''When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful.

Except for a few unfortunate individuals, no law in this world can go against the fact that for most of us our family is an essential part of our lives. The moment you enter this cruel world, where each man is for himself, there are some near and dear ones out there who will do anything to ensure your happiness.
We are nothing more than a vulnerable and fragile object, without someone taking care of us on our arrival in this world. Despite all the odds, your family will take care of your well-being, and try their best to provide you the greatest comforts in the world.
