Translation and Answer
History of vehicles
In the past, people only walked even if going to a far place. Although they used horses and small boats, there were a few places that they could come. And the world they knew was very small.
In the 15th century, people were able to travel to distant places by boat. Europeans have sailed to distant countries, and brought back rare items.
In the 19th century, when trains and large ships were made, they could transport many people as well as goods. The number of people going abroad also increased.
In 1903, the Wright brothers’ plane flew in the sky for the first time. At the present, there are large, fast and safe planes flying in the sky all over the world.
The next dream is the universe. Maybe everyone can go to the universe. And maybe we can eat while seeing the green earth from the moon.
