　　The Tape Recorder＿＿＿.

　　The tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented. Nowadays, almost every family has a tape recorder. Because it can record and replay people＇s voice or popular songs that people would like to listen to more than once, it has been warmly welcome since the day it was invented.

　　This device is useful in many ways. For example, if a journalist has a recorder, he may record what the spokesman says, saving a lot of his energy. If a student has a recorder, he can use it to improve his listening comprehension. Moreover, he can also record his own voice to practice his spoken language. Above all, the tape recorder can be used widely in our work, study and everyday life.

　　However, it can also become a nuisance. If it is played in too loud a voice, a recorder will not only cause damage to the listeners hearing but also disturb the work and study of others. Surely, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Only when used properly, will it make our life happier and more meaningful.
