Wright Brothers




The Wright Brothers made a big difference in our lives. They were the famous brothers that made the first airplane, or the so famous ''glider'', and it wasn't the airplane only that they created, they also invented the bicycle. The airplane today was perfected now, it is made of metal, it uses fuel, and it can fly not for seconds only, it can keep flying for more than one day. The bicycle was perfected too, before it was made of wood and it did not last very long, now today bikes can last up to 4 years if u take normal care of it and try not to destroy it. The yeasr of 1903 was a bright year because today now it is one of the things that affect out lives the most.

The Chunnel Tunnel

The Chunnel goes all the way between London in England, Brussels in Belgium, and Paris in France. The Chunnel goes all the way across the Strait of Dover from one side to another. The Chunnel is the biggest tunnel in the whole world. The Chunnel was a big engineering problem when it came to be built underwater, they could not dig, so they had to do the was that most big tunnels are built like, they had to make the parts of the tunnel on ground, then bring it to the sea, and then sink it in the right direction.

Dubi Mall


The Dubi mall has 1 thing that no other mall in the world has...you wanna have a guess? I bet you would never get it right. In the middle of Arabia they have a mall that has a ski mountain...many of you people think I'm not a good typer but that's right... they have a ski mountain inside the mall. Dubi had so much money from the oil that they found in their country that they had enough money t make a mall like that. Now if people that live around there wanna go skiing they just gotta go to the mall, rent the clothes and deal with the cold and the falls that many people are gonna have.

Rule 2: You talk to the audience.
Rule 3: You mention it again with an closing.

You have to make sure that the speech is interesting, not big (if the speech is big, try to be interesting and try to make it interesting or make it fun)

Gibraltar Bridge


The Gibraltar bridge is supposed to connect Europe and Africa together. The cables thaat the engineers are pretending to use are so long that they could go around the Earth 2 and 1/3 times. The bridge bridge will span 3 and a half miles though the Maditerranean sea. The bridge has 3 of 4 different types of bridges all in only 1 bridge. It has a Cable bridge--Arch bridge--Beam bridge. This bridge will have all in 1.

Freedom Ship


The freedom ship is called the "Floating City" and you can already guess why. Yea.... the ship is so big that can be used as a city and in the future maybe people will be able to live in it. The ship has schools, mals, aiport, hospitals, etc. . It has everything that a normal city would have. The ship will be used as homes because someday in the future scientists think that there will be nowhere to put humans so they thought to build ships that are so big tha a clolony can live in it. Scientists have also bee talking about making buildings three times bigger than a normal one in the sea so that too colonies can live in it. But I'll talk about that later.
