Candles
Candles were a necessary invention that gives us light in the night today. Many years ago, candles were made from beeswax and had no smell. Today, candles are made from paraffin wax and have smell and scents. We also mould our candles to make it into different shapes and sizes.
When candles were first made, people might have considered them to be very useful because they could see through the dark. The problem with lighting up the streets was that if it rained, the fire would be put out. Soon, candles were also used at religious ceremonies and rituals. To make a candle in that time period, you had to pour molten beeswax over a wick material.
Moulding to make candles began to be more popular. The wax was poured into cylinders. These cylinders had a small hole in the centre for the wick. The wick was then placed in the cylinder and held in place by small wires. Then they poured the molten beeswax and left it to dry. Once the candle was dried, the wires were removed and the candle was ready for use.
After that, paraffin wax had begun to replace the once-popular beeswax. Many of the candles with the new wax were still handmade, but some candles makers began to use machines.
Today, candle making is a very important art form. Candles represent what many generations have produced. Candles are still used for special events like a very special dinner or at a fancy restaurant. They are also used for emergencies when the power has gone out. Therefore, candles have made a very big contribution to our lives.
Mummy's Comment:
You may have taken the contents from the other web sites. It is OK as long as you can digest the meanings and make them in order and present them like what you are writing. However, as I said before, when you are in an examination, that you wouldn't be able to search the Internet and you need to get everything from your mind. After all, you need to learn to express yourself and contribute your thinking and your thought.
For instance, when you think of candle, you may think of the ancient days that people didn't have electricity. Candle provides lighting at night and it is essential for people who need to work at night. Candle can extend the day so that people can work or play longer time otherwise they need to go to bed much earlier. Candle can help people spend more time to study at night when they were so busy during the day time. You may admire the function and effect of the candle for it
You may also think of candle in relate to other situations, like you think of candle be a living matter, such as a human being. Candle is so genious to burn itself up just for the sake of giving people light. This may reflect into some people that they sacrificing themselves in order to provide contribution to the community. For the candle, it burns itself out and this act will give the others light. Therefore the candle is so nice and so selfish-less to provide its contribution. It just like some one who give up all his fortune or his life just for the good sake of the community, like a soldier who fight for the others in his country. etc. etc.
