A: Good morning, can I help you? B: Yes, I’m interested in buying a car. A: Have you anything in mind? B: Not really. A: What price are you thinking of?
A: Well, there’s the Toyota over there, to the left of the Peugeot. It’s very comfortable and costs ￡ 13,040. It’s cheap to run too, and it also has a built-in radio. Or there’s the Renault at the back of the showroom, behind the Peugeot. It costs a little more, ￡13,240, but it is cheaper to run. It does 40 miles per gallon and the Toyota only does 36 miles per gallon.

For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the fights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship superceded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, travelled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometres per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as aeroplane became increasingly safe and popular.
