The first plane


Orville and Wilber Wright were born more than 150 years ago in the USA. They often invented things when they
were little and liked flying. They made kites when they were teenagers. It took them many years to make their
first plane. They studied birds and learned how they flew. The brothers used this to help them build a plane.

It was dangerous and their father didn’t want them to fly together. So, Orville and Wilber could never travel in a
plane together. In 1903 they made the first ever journey on a plane!

Orville flew and Wilber stayed on land. He flew for only for twelve seconds but it changed the world. They built
more planes and made longer flights after that. Now people go on planes every day!

Task 1

like team sports very much.
