I fell in love with the Welsh landscape after a television programme about dolphins off the west coast. I decided to a holiday there. The programme the best place to see them was Cardigan Bay and the best was late afternoon.
The first evening I expected a long wait, I sat on a bench with some fish and chips. other people were there and after a few minutes we heard a child's voice cry out, 'There!' The dolphins had arrived and they were playing and fun. It was wonderful to see them as they should always be free.
I also out that this area has beautiful beaches and fantastic castles to explore. It was the first time I had in Wales and I knew it would not be the last. I have returned the same place several times.

Read and answer the following questions.
The Wright Way to Fly
The inventors of the first airplane were not scientists. In fact, they did not even finish high school! The inventors of the first airplane were just ordinary brothers with a big dream - a dream of flying.
Wilbur and Orville Wright grew up in Indiana in a large family. Neither of the brothers finished high school. Instead of sitting in class and reading, they wanted to work and make things, like machines. When the brothers were 18 and 22 years old, they started up their own printing press and bicycle shop.
One day, Wilbur read an interesting story in the newspaper about a man trying to fly in a glider. The man died, but the story gave Wilbur an idea. He decided to teach himself about flying in order to make the perfect glider. Together, Orville and Wilbur successfully tested their new glider on the beach. Then the brothers decided to make their glider into a flying machine. They put an engine and propeller on the glider and called their new machine the “Wright Flyer.” The plane broke down on its first test, but the Wright brothers didn’t give up.
With a little more hard work, the Wright Flyer made a successful flight! On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made history by flying the Wright Flyer over the beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The airplane was born.
