- Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
People often have to use a vehicle of some kind to travel great distances. Some people now use bicycles, motorbikes, or cars. A car has an engine called a combustion engine. That means it gets the power to move by burning gas or petrol as fuel. The car runs on tyres filled with air. Most people however probably travel by buses that also have combustion engines like cars. However, vehicles, like cars, with combustion engines burning fuel, give off gases that are dangerous for your health. They pollute the air and create a risk for us.
In most countries now, there are electric trains which use electricity and do not pollute the air. They go at great speeds on their rails. In some countries, they go almost as fast as some planes. Ships and boats have propellers to move them. A propeller causes a ship or aircraft to move, it consists of two or more blades that spin at high speed. The propellers turn very fast in the water and that pushes the ship. A rudder, like the tail of a fish, is used to guide it.
Some planes use propellers that turn in the air. However, most planes have jet engines. They push the plane with great force. If you go to an airport where the planes land you can see the jet engines on the wings of the plane, though on some planes they are near the tail.
