Alex: Oh, that’s a cool idea! I always hit my toe on something on the way to the bathroom at night.
Carol: Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.
Alex: I know what it’s for! It’s used for serving really cold ice-cream.
Carol: Yes, that’s right! The last invention I’m going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.
Alex: What are they used for?
Carol: Well, you can change the style of your shoes. You can raise the heels if you are going to a party or lower them if you are just going out for
shopping.
