《Life on Wheels》Go with Transportation! PPT

Part One: THINK ABOUT IT

How many ways can you think of to use wheels?

How can you get to the moon?

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.
