第一部分內容：THINK ABOUT IT
How do you usually travel to other cities?
Talk about your first time taking a train.
In the 1700s, many scientists worked on steam engines. In the 1760s, a scientist in England found a way to put steam engines and wheels together.
Soon people had a new type of transportation: the steam train.
In 1804, the first train engine was born in England. It travelled only about fifteen kilometres in two hours. In 1825, the first passenger railway opened. The Rocket was the most famous early engine.
During the 1830s, countries all over the world started to build railways. Fifty years later many countries had railways. People built many train stations to help passengers get on and off the trains easily.
