Interview With The Wright Brothers

In 1905, there was a TV talk show that interview great inventors at that time.

Below is a script of interview with The Wright brothers

Host : Hello and welcome to our talk show tonight, Great Inventors! Today

we have very special guests, Orville and Wilbur Wright. We are

going to ask them about their revolutionary inventions.What do you

call your invention?

Orville : We invented airplane

Host : Airplane? What is the tool for?

Wilbur : It’s a tool that will help human being to fly!

Host : Oohhh, is it like a flying car? How did you get the inspiration?

Orville : Our dad gave us a toy helicopter that flew with the help of rubber bands. We’ve been interested in the idea since then

Wilbur : Orville has always liked to build kites, so, we have experimented with making our own helicopters for a while now

Host : But that was only a toy, what about the actual plane?

Wilbur : Orville made the first flight with our first plane at Kitty Hawk on December 14, 1903

Host : Why did you choose Kitty Hawk?

Orville : Kitty Hawk had a hill, good breezes, and was sandy. The condition would help soften the landings in case of a crash. The first flight lasted 12 seconds and they flew for 120 feet.

Wilbur : We have worked and experimented with gliders to perfect the wing design and controls since then

Host : I see. So you’ve had the newest version of your airplane?

Wilbur : Yes. Recently, I took a newly designed airplane that we called the Flyer II for the first flight lasting over 5 minutes

Host : How amazing! I think this invention will be a big thing soon

Wilbur : Our father has asked us not to fly together. He said it’s for the safety reason

Orville : Yes, we will continue making more experiment so that airplane will be available for everyone soon

Host : Okay, we wish you good luck with the next experiments.

So that is the text that using simple past and present perfect.

And also I found a great short movie, here's the synopsis.

Synopsis short movie Never Give Up, Traditional Cheese Shop

A father who owns a small traditional cheese shop is seen making cheese with his son at the beginning of the video. They then entered a competition to show the taste of each cheese shop and they won second place. In this video, the child is very enthusiastic to learn how to make his father's cheese. Over time, the child has grown older and more skilled at making cheese. Then it was time for the cheese competition to be held. The child gave his homemade cheese to be included in the International Cheese Championship competition. However, the father looks pessimistic because he is too old and his cheese recipe which he believes will not be as good as it used to be, so he is discouraged from participating in the competition. But the son insisted on convincing his father that he could win the competition again like before with the cheese he made. Finally, secretly, his father brought his son's cheese to the competition and won the competition with the first place ranking
