He invented the ballpoint pen (the biro). His invention has made writing a lot easier for everyone.
In the 1930s Lazlo Biro worked for a newspaper in Budapest in Hungary. While writing his articles he used an ink pen which left a lot of ink stains on paper. He often watched the newspaper being printed by huge printing machines. Biro noticed that the ink used in the printing machines dried very quickly.
He wondered if this quick-drying ink could be used in pens. He had the idea of using a tube of quick-drying ink with a ball at the end. He found that when you wrote with it, the ball allowed ink to flow out of the tube and on to the paper. Because it dried quickly it did not smudge like ordinary ink.
Biro was very excited by his discovery. His pen was much easier and smoother to write with. It was especially helpful to left-handed people. With the pen, it was possible to write up to 200,000 words before the ink ran out. It was even possible to write on rough surfaces.
Another advantage of the ballpoint pen was that it was cheap. You just threw it away when the ink ran out and got another one!Unfortunately, before he was able to patent* his invention, the Second World War broke out. Biro went to Brazil. There, he and his brother George began to improve the design of the pen.
In the early 1940s they began to manufacture a new pen, but they did not have enough money to start a big company.In 1944 he sold his business to an Englishman named Henry Martin. Martin produced thousands of Biro pens. He sold many to the men and women in the American and British armies.
People liked the pens very much. They were convenient and easy to carry around and they could be used anywhere. They were cheaper than fountain pens. Later, Martinsold the business to a French company called BIC. This company now sells twelve million pens a day.
Biro was pleased that his pen was so popular, but he did not make a lot of money from his invention. He died quite a poor man in South America. However, his name is not forgotten. It has become an everyday word.*When an inventor patents something, this prevents others from using the invention without permission.

A Week at British School.
We arrive at school every morning before 9 o’clock. We bring our homework with us and give it to the teacher. When we are late, there’s trouble! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays our first lesson is Maths. We have Maths after break on Fridays, too. We learn Geometry, Algebra and Arithmetic. Our teacher is Mr. Stern. We learn French at 10 o’clock on Tuesdays and at 2 o’clock in the afternoon on Wednesdays and Fridays. We learn grammar in class. We try to speak French in the language laboratory. It’s fun — but we can’t say much! Geography lessons are on Mondays and Thursdays at 11.10. We’re learning about Japan. It’s interesting. But we’d like to go to Japan! Every day at 12 o’clock, we have games or gymnastics. When it rains, we do gym indoors. When the weather is good, we play football or netball outside. After that, it’s lunch time. We’re always hungry! After lunch, three times a week, we do cookery or woodwork. Everybody does Art at 2.40 on Fridays. We paint and draw and some people learn pottery, too. School finishes at 4 o’clock. We learn science three times a week: first lesson on Tuesdays, from 2.40 to 4 o’clock on Wednesdays, and at 10 o’clock on Thursdays. Here we are learning about water and air.
