15、tI think Leonardo designed an _ because _early car the picture seems to show a vehicle that can move backwards and forwards, has four wheels and can take people for a ride. It does not have beds or room for beds, so it cannot be a caravan. It is made of metal so it cannot be a tent. It does not go r

16、ound and round so it cannot be a roundabout.精选pptWHAT CAN IT BE?Ellie Smith is discussing with one of her friends Tang Ling, what this invention by Leonardo might be. Listening text 精选pptES: Look at this drawings! What do you think this is supposed to be?TL: I dont know! It doesnt say, but lets see

17、if we can work out what it is.ES: OK. Now lets see. It looks a bit like a tent but has four wheels underneath.精选pptTL: Youre right but when you look at the second picture with the wheels you can see that it had a floor to stand on and wheels below that. Do you think it was a roundabout for children?

18、精选pptES: Good thinking. But the way that he placed the wheels shows that it must have been for going forwards and backwards, not round and round.

It could carry four people to move the wheels and then another one or two children to help. Maybe six altogether.TL: Wow! So it must have been

21、made of metal. Nothing else could carry all that weight.精选pptES: True! The wheels must be made of wood or metal.TL: Do you think its a caravan?ES: Yes, that makes sense. It would be big enough but there doesnt seem to be any room to sleep in it. And it wouldnt be very easy to park for the night. So

22、perhaps it was an early car?精选pptTL: Well, lets look in the guidebook. Oh noit seems youre not correct.ES: Gracious. So what on earth can it be?TL: Think again about Leonardos life.
