There were many significant discoveries during the 20th century but I believe that the most important invention for people in my country was a development of antibiotics such as penicillin. This life-saving drug was the main reason for the victory over many fatal diseases.
Before the invention of penicillin any wound even a small one could be the cause of death because of bacterial infection. Such illnesses as tuberculosis and pneumonia were fatal in the majority of cases. The development of penicillin in 1928 by Alexander Fleming was the beginning of striking change in medicine. The start of penicillin's commercial use in 1940 was the reason of many cases when terribly wounded soldiers survived in the hospital only because of this antibiotic. The cure saved countless lives during the World War II in Russia.
Another important result of antibiotics' use is the increase of the life expectancy. It rose from 45 in the 1920s to 65 nowadays and it continues to grow. The explanation is simple - the main causes of death in the 1920s were infectious diseases like tuberculosis, diphtheria and pneumonia. An emergence of antibiotics defeated these formerly fatal illnesses and was the main reason of the life expectancy growth.
In conclusion, it is impossible to imagine modern world without antibiotics like penicillin. In my opinion, the invention of this wonderful cure was the most beneficial not only for people in my country but for people in the whole world. Moreover, penicillin was a precursor to many powerful antibiotics like amoxicillin and others which can cure the large number of different infections. Otherwise, many illnesses would be incurable and the life expectancy would be much lower.

Learning to write and speak a foreign language correctly requires having somebody to correct your grammar and usage errors.
Otherwise you may learn a substandard version of the language with deep-rooter mistakes and incorrect usages that are hard to get rid of.
A popular and tried-and-true way to learn languages involves writing texts in a foreign language on a daily basis and reading them aloud to a native speaker, who will correct any mistakes.
Native speakers or language professionals will review your text and correct all errors of style or grammar free of charge.
You can also request a sound recording of the spoken version of your corrected text that will let you hear the subtleties of pronunciation by a native speaker.
