The+Letter+of+Recommendation

Canton Middle School 3/12/10 Dear Award Committee, I am recommending Alexander Graham Bell because he set high standards for himself and kept trying when he was inventing the telephone. His invention of telephone has come a long way since it was first created. Alexander grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was educated at Edinburgh high school and Edinburgh University getting special training in his father’s system for removing impediments in speech. He went to London in 1867 and went to the University there but left because of his health. He went to Canada with his father and two years later he bought his own place. Alexander introduced with success his father’s system of deaf-mute instruction and also became a professor of vocal physiology in Boston University. For years he had been interested in the transmission of sound by electricity. In 1876 in Philadelphia he made his first public appearance of his invention. The success of it made him wealthy. The phone helped us to come together more and we have become more technological. Without the phone we couldn’t have come all this way without more of a struggle. This invention helped us become what we are today. The main reason the phone is the best invention is because it is a way for us to communicate. Nobody has to go anywhere to talk to another person they just have to pick up the phone. It is also very important because it got us to be more connected to the other continents. The phone is a very important invention and has come a long way. We can all stay communicated and it has made a big difference in our technology. Thank you for your time in reading this letter. Sincerely, Lyndsay, Harmony, and Josh
