Unit 8 Faster than sound! Lesson 15 Warm-up ❓What's the fastest thing you know? Is sound fast? What about cars? Task Goal Q: How fast did the winning car go? 💬 race for old cars / Rolls-Royce / Benz (1885) / explosions Reading Task Why did drivers spend time UNDER cars? Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year, and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. Reading Comprehension One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course, and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour-much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race, and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races, but no less exciting. Story Retelling 1.
