More About mirror
Long ago, people used water to see their face. Then they made mirrors from shiny stones. Now, we use glass with a shiny coat. This makes a good mirror.
We use mirrors every day. You see them in homes, cars, and stores. They help us look nice and see what is around us.
In the future, mirrors may get even better. They might show more than just our faces. They could help us in new ways!
