M:Today we’re going to talk about paper.Paper was one of the most important inventions in the whole of Chinese history.It’s believed that before writing was developed，people in China used to keep records by putting a number of stones together.As soon as writing was developed，people carved words on animal bones.Later，words were carved on metal pots.Examples of these have been found from the sixteenth century to the third BC.Between the second and fifth centuries AD，people wrote on pieces of bamboo or wood and these were tied together to form a book.Although these were much more useful than the metal pots，they were still difficult to read and were very heavy to carry.After silk was made about 2 000 years ago，people began to use silk.
