Now, in the 21st century, there are lots of great inventions. 1. However, when we enjoy that, we should never forget those who devoted themselves to making people's life better in the 20th century. 2. Like many other famous inventors, they failed many times. However, they never gave up—even though almost no one was interested in what they were doing. For many times, they risked their lives to test their airplane. Finally, after lots of calculations and improvements, they succeeded. 3. The invention led to a quantum leap in human history. From then on, better and safer airplanes have been invented and long flights have become increasingly convenient and comfortable. Round the world trips have become a reality. Without the Wright brothers, we might still have to spend days, weeks or even months travelling to distant places today. The Wright brothers have also inspired generations of people to make great achievements in their own chosen fields. China, for example, had to depend on the West for its large passenger aircraft. Of course, our country didn't want to continue that way forever. With the same adventurous spirit as that of the Wright brothers, Chinese people kept trying and made great progress. Today, China has its own large passenger aircraft. 4. Thanks to the Wright brothers, humans realized the dream of flying. Till today, their experience still has a great influence on young people. 5. I think they are among the greatest people of the 20th century.
