QUESTION 3
SOURCE A
Bicycles have been around for a very long time and did not always look like they
do today. The first bicycle was invented about 200 years ago. It was made of wood
and it did not have pedals. To move forward you had to push your feet against the
ground and riders wore out their boots very quickly.
Different types of bicycles were invented and the other bicycle was called the safety
bicycle. Th safety bicycle was much safer than the previous inventions. It looked
more than the bicycles we know today. It had rubber tyres and brakes. The back
wheel was moved by a chain while the rider pedalled. The rider could steer the front
wheel by moving the handlebars.
The first motorcars were invented in the 1880s. they were designed as carriages
with horses missing. Two important inventors were Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz,
who lived in Germany. Today, Mercedes Benz motorcars are still made in the
Daimler-Benz factories in Germany.
