Edison is a well-known American inventor.He was taught by his mother when he was a child.Later he learned things by himself by reading and experimenting.He built a lab for himself to work in,and he worked very hard on scientific activities for sixty years.He made over a thousand inventions.Few inventors in the world could have such a great success.
Edisons first invention was made in 1868.He was then a telegraph operator.He wished to work out a new method to improve the old tel graph system because it was impossible at that time for the system to send more than one message along the same line at the same time.He read all the works of Faraday,another great scientist,before starting his inven tion.Sometimes he didnt go to bed and didn t even stop to eat.He thought he had very much to do and there was no time to lose.Days and nights he was reading and reading.After he read through Faraday's writings,he began his experiments.A few months later he succeeded in building a double transmitter and improved the old telegraph system.

As is known to all,Edison is a brilliant inventor.I admire edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world.He had more than 1.000 inventions in his lifetime.He was always eager to know how things worked.He was also so diligent that he worked day and night And this partly explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying,Genius is one per inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.Probably I cannot be an Edison myself,but I can be a hard-working person.From him,I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born,but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
参考译文：
众所周知,爱迪生是一位杰出的发明家。因为他对世界做出了伟大的贡献,我非常敬佩他。在他的一生中,有1000多种发明。他总是渴望想知道事物是怎样运行的。同时他也不分昼夜地辛勤工作。这也部分解释了他为什么能有那么多发明创造让我印象最深的就是他那句名言:“天才是9%的血汗加上1%的灵感。”我可能永远都成为不了爱迪生,但是我能成为一个努力勤奋的人。从他身上我了解到成功的秘诀不在于出身,而是在于你的所作所为。
