It has not always been easy to know the time. A long time ago people looked at the sun to tell the time. They could tell the time of the day by looking at the sun in the sky：morning，noon and afternoon.

Around the year 1400，people began to use the hourglass(沙漏)．It was made of glass with some sand in it. It was wide at both ends，but narrow in the middle. The sand ran from one end to the other in one hour. At the end of every hour，people turned the glass over and began again. Hundreds of years later，a machine called clock was invented.

After that people made small clocks，so that they could carry them in their pockets. Then during World WarⅠ,men started wearing their watches on their wrists. It was easier to tell the time. Now almost everyone wears a wrist watch.
