Task: Read the theory of describing objects and write a text indicating what the sound machine looks like and what it is for (write between 200 and 230 words).

My answer: The sound machine is a three feet long, heavy black box, with three dials in its front. It has a button that moves a needle across a large central dial, like the wavelength dial of a radio. This dial is marked with numbers that start at 15,000 and goes up to 1,000,000. Besides, it can be seen the movement of the machine inside the box. The sound machine allows capturing high frequency sounds which are not audible for the human ear. These sounds are picked up by the machine and reproduced through earphones. Klausner invented this device because he wanted to find out if it was possible to hear the hidden sounds of the world. This way, he discovered, for example, that flowers and trees cry and yell while they are being hurt. It seems that I have accomplished the task number two without reaching the at-least-two-hundred-words target, so I’ll try to get away whistling softly, as if nothing had happened, and perhaps the teacher won’t notice it. I’ll just keep walking with lowered eyes and my hands in my pockets. My whistling by now is so sharp and soft that only Klausner could hear it. Almost got it! Aaand... I’m out.

Teacher feedback: Hahahahaha, loved it! You’ve made my Monday! =)
