  It is such a common occurrence that no one ever wonders how it came. But the telephone has a fascinating story behind it, one that could be titled. "The Conquer of Solitude."  It is the story of Alexander Graham Bell.
  So, you now what I am going to talk about! Yes, it’s the inventor of the microphone what make the distance between people largely shortened.

                    Life of Alexander Graham Bell
  In 1847, Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.   
   His father was passionately consumed with the workings of the human voice, how it is produced and used, and especially, in teaching the deaf how to use it. For in those days, you see, the deaf lived in permanent solitude. Not only could they not hear, but also could they not speak. After all, how could they pronounce words, as they couldn't hear? Perhaps you will wonder why elder Bell was so attracted by the career that to help those who can’t hear. That’s because for whom he got married with and would give birth to the inventor of the telephone was   almost absolutely deaf! Young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his father's passions.
   In 1862, Bell entered the famous Edinburgh University in only 16. Following his father’s interest on how it product voice, he chose the phonetics to be his specialty. And through summing up experiences from his elders studies, he made progress very rapidly.
  In 1867, graduating from the Edinburgh University, Bell went to the London university to study linguistics. Just then large-scale pulmonary disease broke out in Britain. In this disaster, Bell lose two brothers.   
  In 1870, because of Bell’s poor health, his father took the whole family, migrated to Canada so that they can escape from the spread of disease. Their new place was so simple a small town near the border which was different from the national big city London. Bell felt very unfamiliar and suffering. Afterwards, he got a job in a Boston school to teach the deaf-and-dumb people what was actually he like. Taking use of the mind that his father who was a professor on the linguistics gave him, Bell quickly got some great achievements on voice pronouncing. The school president want him stay and continue his research but as a result of the money’s problem Bell leave for Canada again.
   In 1871, Bell returned to Boston because there were so many famous scholars there with whom he wanted to communicate. It was not long before his success in teaching the deal to speak that brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who had a deaf daughter, Mabel. The wealthy businessman asked:” Would Mr. Bell please teach Mabel how to speak?” And the answer was yes. When Bell taught Mabel to speak they fell in love with each other.
  In 1877, years later, he and Mabel got married. He later became an American citizen. It was she who inspired him through a series of the exhausting experiments. Who pulled him through the difficulties that often told those whose drive to succeed is so intense. While he developed the remarkable instrument that transformed speech into electrical impulses that could later be converted back into human speech at the end of a wire. He had broken another solitude, other from his own solitude, the one that up until then had departed human speech between people distant from one another. In the same year, Bell invented telephone. Alexander Graham Bell was showered with the praise of the world. Honors came to him from all the points of the compass. Yes, he would go on to other discoveries, many of them. But in his own view, he was most proud of his efforts to help the deaf.
  From 1878 to 1883, Bell and Mabel had two girls and two boys. But both of his boys died in disease. It was a disaster to them.
  In 1922, Alexander Graham Bell died: Mabel five months later. She loved him that much. His name is likely to live as long as man recalls history. After all, there is this constant reminder of how he brought the human family into closer touch.

  Bell was an inventor all his life. He made his first invention at eleven and his last at the advanced age of seventy-five years old. Although he will always be known for his invention of telephone, he was in truth a continuing searcher after practical solutions to improve the living level of everybody’s life.
  In 1876, he invented the telephone, and tuned it out to be a success in March 7th.
  In 1881, he spent 60,000 dollars to start the magazine Science which later proved to be the most successful and effective scientific magazine.

  In 1882, he made a great contribution to medical science. He invented a thing called empty jacket which used to help people breath.
  In 1883, He experimented with helicopter designs and flying machines. While searching for a kite strong enough to carry a man into the air, Bell try out putting triangle together and discovered the quadrangle shape. Being very strong it has proved invaluable in the design of bridges.
  From 1876 to 1900, Bell had earned 1,000,000 dollars by selling his inventions and the stocks of his telephone company. Although his inventions and stocks increased wonderfully in value, it earned him not a bit. He put most of the money into helping the deaf. He built several deaf-mute schools in the USA.

                                              Story of Inventing the Telephone
  Bell had thought of making a machine to transfer people’s voice from one place to another since 1874, but no one supplied him until his father-in-law gave him enough money to make a lab. He employed a very good assistance Thomas. They focus on the experiments on transform voice into electronic wave. Though 2 years of hard work, Bell they made the machine in 1875 June 2nd. But they hadn’t proved it work.
  In 1876, March 7th, when Bell was testing on his telephone, he dropped some vitriol on his legs by accident. Suddenly he felt the pain, and shouted to the telephone unconsciously:” Mr. Thomas! Come here! I want to see you!” Thomas rushed into the lab, found that they succeed!
