Lesson 54 The first aeroplane flight
Before 1903, many people tried to build a machine that would
fly through the air. They studied birds and kites carefully,
hoping to find clues to the problem of flying. They knew that
they needed wings to lift them into the air, but how could they
make a motor small enough and light enough to power their plane?
In 1903, two brothers from Ohio, in the United States, made
the first successful powered flight. Their names were Wilbur
and Orville Wright. They had a small bicycle shop in Dayton,
Ohio where they worked on their idea for a flying machine. They
knew that they needed a light engine, so they built one
themselves. They also designed and made their own propellers.

The Great Escape
Every summer, my family and I go on a camping trip to the
mountains. We always look forward to it because it's a chance for
us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and
reconnect with nature.
Last year, we decided to explore a new camping spot that we
had heard a lot about. The journey there was long, but the scenic
drive made it worth it. As we arrived, we were greeted by the lush
greenery and the fresh mountain air.
We set up our tents near a crystal-clear stream and spent the
afternoon hiking and exploring the area. The kids were thrilled to
discover a hidden waterfall, and we all took turns having a dip in
the cool water.
