Waiting for the Train
Have you ever waited for a train to cross the road? Have you tried to count the number of cars that made up the train?
Some trains can be very, very long! How long? We'll get to that later...
Trains are amazing! They have been around for almost 200 years. They carry people and things all over the world.
They carry oil,metal, trees and many other things we use. Every day, trains carry millions of people from one place to another.
Trains are good for the environment too because the people riding them don't need to use their cars. This means that
trains can help reduce pollution.
So, next time you see a train, remember how useful it is—even nearly two centuries after it was invented!
What was the longest train ever? Well, it was in Australia. It had 8 engines and pulled 682 cars. And it was more than 7
kilometres long!
Try counting those cars!
等火车
你曾经等过火车过马路吗?你试过数一数组成这列火车的车厢数吗?
有些火车非常非常长!多长?我们稍后再谈……
火车太神奇了!它们已经存在了近200年。他们把人和东西运送到世界各地。
它们运载石油、金属、树木和许多其他我们使用的东西。每天，火车把数百万人从一个地方运送到另一个地方。
火车对环境也有好处，因为乘坐火车的人不需要使用他们的汽车。这意味着火车可以帮助减少污染。
所以，下次你看到火车时，记住它是多么有用——即使在它被发明近两个世纪之后!
最长的火车是什么?嗯，是在澳大利亚。它有8个引擎，能载682辆汽车。它大于7公里长!
试试数数那些汽车!
