Look at your classmates around you.

If you hold something in your hands, you may lose it easily or break it. But with a backpack, you will be at ease. Backpacks are easy for students to keep school things and personal items(个人物品) like cell phones and keys.

Do you know who invented the backpack? It was US hiker(登山家) Dick Kelty who first made the modern backpack in 1951, He made backpacks out of nylon(尼龙) and aluminum(铝). The packs went around hikers’ bodies. They had shoulder straps as well as waist straps(腰带). So the weight moved from hikers’ shoulders to their hips(臀部). Kelty’s backpack made travelling easier. Soon, backpacks became popular among travelers.

Some travelers are now called backpacks. With light backpacks, backpackers can move freely from on place to another. They can also free their hands to take photos. Today, backpacks come in different styles. The popular one is the rolling(滚动的) backpacks. They have wheels(轮子), so users can pull them on the ground if they are too heavy to carry.
