But at the same time he was developing a way to use electricity to send the sounds of talking along a wire(电线), and he made the first telephone in June, 1875. He worked hard in his workshop for six months with his helper Tom Watson. Finally , he spoke these famous words slowly into the telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” And Watson came to him.
