the life of Thomas Alva Edison:

In class we had to elaborate a summary about the life of Thomas Alva Edison. After we finished we had to make an entry in our blog about the second summary.

Thomas Alva Edison was born in 1847, in Milon, Ohio. When he was at the age of three, he was a very curiosity child. He fell of the grain elevator and he almost drowned because, he wanted to know how the elevator worked. One year later he tried to hatching eggs. At the age of seven his teachers thought that he was a stupid boy, because of his constant questions, so his mother who had been a teacher, took him out school and taught him at home.

At the age of ten, he set a chemistry lab in the baggage car of his house. Two years later, he started to work selling candys and newspapers to pay for his experiments, but then he was forced to stop his experiments temporarily when a stick of phaparous started a fire in the lab that he set up in the baggage car. When he was sixteen, he learned how to be a telegraph operator, so he became fascinated as electricity.

  1. Tomás, some of the information you included is false. For instance, he didn't set a chemistry lab in the baggage car of his house (his house didn't have a baggage car --> the train has one), he set it in the basement of his house.
    Check the use of verbs: "to hatching" -->to+infinitive: to hatch
    And prepositions: he fell into, he became fascinated by electricity.
    Also, next time try to use your own words more.
