第一部分内容：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.

Life on WheelsPPT，第三部分内容：课堂练习

Listen to the passage and choose the correct words.

How do we use (wheels/transportation)? Many years ago, people (invented/made) many helpful vehicles such as trains and cars. This was the (beginning/starting) of modern transportation. It’s much easier for people to (go/travel) now. But to keep (healthy/fine), we should walk or ride bicycles.

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. 

Work in pairs. Imagine the transportation of the future.

Then make up a dialogue.

Example:

A: What does it look like?

B: It looks like a bird. It has wings.

A: How will it help people?
