I think the two most important Chinese achievements are the magnetic compass, and the abacus. The magnetic compass was important, because it helped people learn where each direction is. If a sailor had to sail north he wouldn't know which direction it is without the magnetic compass. The compass was very handy when it came to traveling. It was so useful that America started to use a compass. I think our compass was inspired by the  Chinese's magnetic compass.
     The abacus was also a good achievement. It was a good accomplishment, because it helped the Chinese do math. They could use the abacus to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. It was also a quicker and easier way to do math. I'm pretty sure our calculator was also inspired by the abacus.
