21、ream inventionAs a student, I sometimes feel tired when doing homework. So I dream of having an MP4pen. It looks almost the same as the pen we use every day. But it has four buttons “fast forward”， “rewind”， “play” and “record” on it. If I feel tired when I am doing my homework, I can listen to some music. More importantly, when I cant work out a problem, the pen is able to help me solve it. This is my dream invention. I hope I can have it soon.
