elevator

An elevator is a machine that takes people and things up and down between floors in a building.

Imagine you're in a tall office building or apartment complex with many stories. You need to get from the ground floor to, say, the 20th floor where your friend lives. That's when an elevator comes in handy! You press a button on the control panel, the doors open, and you step inside with your belongings. The elevator then starts moving smoothly up or down to take you exactly where you want to go. You can even use elevators in shopping malls, hotels, or restaurants if they have multiple levels. In short, elevators make it easy to get from one floor to another without using the stairs!
