in Shelbyville, Illinois. Mrs Cochrane was a rich woman who had lots of fancy dinner parties. She didn’t do any of the dishes herself because she had servants to do that for her, but she wanted a machine that could do the job faster without breaking as many dishes. No one had invented such a machine so she built one herself. First she measured the dishes. Then she built wire compartments, each specially designed to fit plates, cups, or saucers. The compartments were placed inside a wheel that lay flat inside a copper boiler. A motor turned the wheel, while hot soapy water squirted up from the bottom of the boiler and rained down on the dishes. Her invention worked! Her friends were really impressed and asked her to make dishwashing machines for them, calling them the “Cochrane Dishwasher”. Her friends talked a lot about their new machines and soon Mrs Cochrane was getting orders for her dishwashing machine from restaurants and hotels in Illinois. She patented her design and went into production. She showed her invention at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and won the highest award. You don’t have to be a genius to be an inventor. It just takes thought and creativity. Every invention starts out as an idea and everybody has ideas. That means anyone can be an inventor. That includes you!

В нашем районе много бездомных котят, которым в зимние холода нужна помощь людей. Мы должны кормить их и по возможности предстовлять им дом. Мои друзья помогают мне в этом. Мы кормили их молоком и мясом. Животные наши друзья.
У меня дома живёт кот, которого я нашла на улице под дождём. Он был маленьким, всё время пищал и просил есть. Теперь он мой ласковый и пушистый друг. Мы много с ним играем. Моя помощь спасла ему жизнь.
