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. What’s your favourite type of transportation. 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. It’s fun to ride a bike. Language notes 1.be always doing一直...... 总是...... 他总是在说话。我妈妈总说我懒惰。 那个婴儿总是哭。 He is always talking. My mom is always saying I`m lazy.
