Animals in the Air Can you believe that the history of a hot-air balloon began with a sheep, a duck and a chicken?
[Рисунок: воздушный шар с корзиной, в которой находятся животные.]
One day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier was relaxing in front of the fire with his laundry drying nearby. After a while, he noticed that one of his shirts had started to float upwards. The young man was curious about what was happening, so he threw some small pieces of paper into the fireplace to see if the same thing happened to them. When he saw them coming out of the chimney, he came to the conclusion that smoke had the power to lift things up and carry them through the air. Joseph loved science and wanted to become an inventor, so he started trying to think of a craft that would be able to capture smoke and heat and lift people off the ground. Along with his brother, Jacques, he began performing experiments on something that later became the first hot-air balloon.
The Montgolfier brothers quickly realised that it was heat and not smoke that had the power to lift things. On 19th September 1783, they presented their first hot-air balloon which was made from paper and cloth. They burned some straw underneath it and the heat caused the balloon to float. As this was its first trip, the Montgolfier brothers were too nervous to go up in the balloon themselves. So, instead they put a sheep, a duck and a chicken in the basket that hung below the balloon for the two-mile journey.
The new invention was a great success and the animals landed safe and sound. A huge crowd, including some members of the French Royal Family, gathered to watch the balloon floating high in the sky. Shortly afterwards, the brothers asked the king for permission to send men up in the balloon. The king agreed, and the first flight with human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783, with great success. The balloon reached a height of around 150 metres as it floated over the Paris rooftops, starting a long tradition of hot-air ballooning.

You are going to give a talk about the first hot-air balloon. Remember to say: • when and where the first flight with animals took place and who organised it; • what animals took part in the flight and why the Montgolfier brothers chose them; • what happened during the flight and what the result was; • when the first flight with human passengers took place and how high the balloon flew.
You have to talk for 1.5–2 minutes. The talk should be 10–12 sentences long. Use the phrases from the text to support your ideas.

I’m going to give a short talk about the first hot-air balloon. The first flight with animals took place in France on 19th September 1783 and was organised by the Montgolfier brothers. Their balloon was made from paper and cloth, and they burned straw underneath it to heat the air. Because it was the balloon’s first trip, the brothers were too nervous to go up themselves, so they chose animals instead. They put a sheep, a duck and a chicken in the basket below the balloon. The balloon travelled about two miles and floated high in the sky. A huge crowd, including some members of the French Royal Family, watched the flight. The animals landed safe and sound, so the experiment was a great success. Shortly afterwards, the brothers asked the king for permission to send men up. The king agreed. The first flight with human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783. The balloon reached a height of around 150 metres and started a long tradition of hot-air ballooning.
Как построен пересказ
План — это 4 опоры, и я иду по ним по порядку:
- Когда, где, кто организовал — 2-е предложение: дата, Франция, братья Монгольфье.
- Какие животные и почему — 4–5-е предложения: овца, утка, курица; причина — братья слишком нервничали, чтобы лететь самим.
- Что произошло и результат — 6–8-е предложения: полёт на две мили, толпа, животные приземлились целыми, успех.
- Полёт людей и высота — 9–12-е предложения: разрешение короля, Париж, 21 ноября 1783 года, около 150 метров.
Для похожего задания тоже выписывай 4 пункта плана и на каждый делай 2–3 предложения по схеме: факт → деталь → результат.
Проверка
Я сверил главное: даты — 19 сентября 1783 и 21 ноября 1783; числа — two miles и 150 metres; все 4 пункта плана закрыты. В речи использованы фразы из текста: safe and sound, a huge crowd, asked the king for permission, a long tradition.
Два уточнения по тексту:
- В тексте не назван город первого полёта с животными. Поэтому в пересказе стоит безопасное in France. Исторически это Версаль, но в тексте этого слова нет.
- В тексте не объясняется, почему выбрали именно овцу, утку и курицу. Прямая причина — братья были слишком Nervous. Не добавляй, что эти животные были «легче» или «специально подходили», если нужна опора строго на текст.
