List of devices

An elevator, or lift, is a big box large enough to fit several people in it that can go up and down inside a building. Elevators are used so people can get to higher floors in a building without having to climb up stairs.

An escalator is a set of moving stairs that is usually found in shopping centers or airports. They move so people don't need to climb up them.

A fan is something with several blades that spin around when you turn it on. Fans are used to make a nice cool breeze when it is hot. Fans can also be used to suck air out of places like your kitchen or bathroom - this kind of fan is called an exhaust fan. Most electric fans have a cage around the blades so you do not hurt yourself or get your clothes caught on the blades.

Fire hydrants are seen by the roadside in many cities. They connect to the mains water of that city and allow firefighters to tap into large amounts of high pressure water to put out fires. In some cities the fire hydrants are under the ground, with a small lid that needs to be opened before they can be used.

A flashlight, sometimes called a torch, is a small device that has a handle at one end and a light at the other end. You use it for finding your way around somewhere dark that doesn't have any other light sources, like at night when you are camping, or if there is a power failure, or in a cave.
