Presentation
Hello, I’m Jeremy. I’m from the U.S. This is my report on
transportation.
This world is always moving. Everything seems to have
wheels, engines or wings.
Everything seems to be getting faster, too. Long ago, horses pulled
carts, but now we have engines on everything, even on bicycles and
skateboards!
Where did it begin?
Well, in the 1700s people invented the steam engine. That was
the beginning of trains. Then steam was able to power boats and
cars. Boats have been around for thousands of years. Now with
engines, they can go very fast. The first car appeared about two
hundred years ago, and now the roads are full of cars.
All of these cars make the U. S. a nation on wheels.
Transportation is not just on the ground or water. Over 100
years ago, people began to make flying machines. Today we travel a lot by airplane.
Now people can even travel to space in spaceships. Can you imagine future transportation?
My favourite type of transportation is the bicycle. I like to go everywhere by bike in my city. It’s good for my health and for the environment.

3. Read the passage and label the bicycle.
Bicycle means “two wheels”. The first bicycle was probably created in Germany in 1816. It was heavy and had wooden wheels. At first, the bicycle had two wheels but no pedals. People pushed it along with their feet. In 1838, a man in the U. K. invented pedals. The modern bicycle was invented in 1876 in England. By 1900, bicycles had tyres filled with air. Airfilled tyres made bicycles more comfortable to ride. Today's bicycles look the same as bicycles from the 1900s, but they are lighter. This is because they all have hollow frames.
