Recently, a designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book that can transform(变形) into

homes to use as extra furniture.

The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough

seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.

would always end up with just sitting on the floor. I really want a seat that doesn't take up any

floor space when I don't need it. One day, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention.

Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book, ” said the 30yearold designer.

Made from fullyrecyclable kraft paper (牛皮纸), the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It

expands (扩大) to 14 times bigger once it's opened, and can support up to 1, 000 kg of weight. It

comes in two colors, brown and black, and can be bought for between ￡55 and ￡57.

The most important invention

In our daily life, there are many inventions around us. But I think the most important

invention is the Internet.

With the Internet, we can do many things. For example, we can shop, get knowledge, listen to

music and watch movies online. The Internet makes the world smaller. We can meet and talk with

friends and relatives far away

without spending a lot of money. We can also post our blogs online. So our friends can know

what we're doing by visiting our web pages.

In a word, the Internet makes our life more colorful and easier. I like it.
