Adventure in the air

The first ever balloon flight carrying passengers was made by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783. They used hot air to float the balloon over 1,000 metres up into the sky. Nowadays, people still fly in hot-air balloons but there is also a less well-known sport called “cluster ballooning”; instead of one big balloon, hundreds of small balloons are used.

Cluster ballooning was invented by a lorry driver called Larry Walters. Larry had wanted to fly using balloons for a long time. (1)_______________ It took almost 20 years, however, for his dream to finally come true. One day, Larry decided to do an experiment: he wanted to try flying a few metres above his garden. So he bought 45 balloons, filled them with gas called helium, and tied them to a chair. Then he cut the rope that was holding the chair to the ground. (2)_________________ The chair, with Larry sitting in it, floated several kilometres into the sky rather than just a few metres!

The wind was blowing strongly and Lary began to float out toward the sea. Things were getting dangerous. Then, to make matters even worse, the wind changed, and the balloons started to blow towards the local airport. Lary felt very worried. (3)__________________ The story of Lary’s flight was all over the news and this is how the adventure sport of cluster ballooning was born.

One experienced cluster balloonist, Leo Burns, flew his cluster balloons over the largest range of mountains in Europe – The Alps. This wasn’t his first flight, though. Leo had got his pilot’s licence several years before, so was already used to flying. (4) ___________________ According to Leo, there is no better way to fly. “Cluster ballooning’s amazing,” he says, “The balloons are usually completely silent. (5)______________ They weren’t as safe as modern cluster balloon either.”

   A.  He knew this would make him feel very afraid.

   B. The old-fashioned hot-air balloons made a horrible noise.

   C. In fact, he was just a boy when he first started thinking about it.

   D. Luckily, he landed safely after a couple of hours.

   E. They are also much less dangerous.

   F. However, there was an unexpected problem.

   G. But these days, he prefers to use balloons.

   H. Immediately after that, he tried to learn how this would be possible.

There are 11 mistakes in the following paragraph. Underline the mistake then correct it. Write your answer in the table below. 10pts

In 1783, two French brothers build the first balloon to take people into the air. One hundred and twenty years lately, in 1903, the Wright brothers built the first plane with an engine and flied in it. This was in the United States. Then, in 1918, the US Post Office begun the first airmail service. Aeroplanes changed a lot in the next thirty year. Then, in 1950s, aeroplanes became many faster because they had jet engines. In 1976, Concorde was building in the UK and France. It is the faster passenger plane in t]he world and it can flying at 2500 kilometers an hour, so the journey in London to New York is only four hours. Today millions of people travel on aeroplane, and it is difficult to think of a world without them.

1. When a volcano erupts, hot gases and melted rock from deep within Earth find their way up to the surface. This material may flow slowly out of a crack in the ground, or it may explode suddenly into the air. Volcanic eruptions may be very destructive. But they can also create new landforms.

Of the nearly 1900 volcanoes active today, or known to have been active in historical times, about ninety per cent can be found in the areas of South America, North America, Asia, and Oceania that are close to the Pacific Ocean. When marked on a map of the world, this line of volcanoes looks a bit like a vast, open circle. For this reason it is known as the ring of fire.
