* Problems: I know a handicapped girl who has to take care of a mother with mental illness.

- They live in poor housing conditions. Their house may collapse at any time.

- The girl lost her legs when she was 10 in an accident. Her father died three years ago. A year later, her mother became mentally ill. She has to both take care of her mother and earn a living by selling toothpicks on the streets. She wants to continue going to school but she can't afford it.

* Solutions: Raise fund to build a better house for them. Call for donations like food or clothes. Persuade some education organizations to grand her scholarships so that she can return school.Organize free classes, especially English ones for her.

Topic 3

I'm going to talk about my imaginary invention called Translation Gummy.  In real life, we often find it difficult to communicate with foreigners well.  This invention is a good solution, and it is also easy to use.  One only needs to eat it and he/she will be able to speak and understand any foreign language instantly.  This edible gadget can also be used to communicate with animals as well.  It is small and portable so everyone can put it in their pocket or bag and use it anywhere.  Surprisingly, it is not expensive, so everyone can afford it.
