Question

Помогите написать краткий пересказ. Animals in the air. Can you believe that the history of the hot-air balloon all began with a sheep, a duck and a chicken? One day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier was relaxing in front of the fire with lis 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 helped 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 consisting of human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783, with great success. The balloon reached heights of around 150 metres as it floated over the Paris rooftops, starting a long tradition of hot-air ballooning.

Answer 1

Joseph loved science and wanted to become an inventor. 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 hot 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. The first passengers were a sheep, a chicken and a duck. King Louis XVI and the French Royal Family gathered to watch the first flight of the balloon. The king agreed to send human passengers up in the balloon.

Answer 2

The history of the hot-air balloon began with an interesting incident involving a sheep, a duck, and a chicken. In 1777, Joseph Montgolfier noticed that one of his shirts started floating upwards while he was relaxing by the fire with his laundry drying nearby. Intrigued, he experimented by throwing pieces of paper into the fireplace and observed them being carried out of the chimney. Realizing that heat had the power to lift things, Joseph, along with his brother Jacques, embarked on creating a craft that could capture heat and lift people off the ground.

After conducting experiments, the Montgolfier brothers discovered that it was heat, not smoke, that had the lifting power. In 1783, they presented their first hot-air balloon, constructed from paper and cloth. By burning straw underneath it, they generated heat that caused the balloon to float. However, for their initial test flight, they were too nervous to go up themselves and instead placed a sheep, a duck, and a chicken in the basket below the balloon. The animals had a safe two-mile journey, proving the success of the invention.

The sight of the floating balloon attracted a large crowd, including members of the French Royal Family. Encouraged by the triumph, the Montgolfier brothers sought permission from the king to send human passengers up in the balloon. The king agreed, and on November 21, 1783, the first manned flight took place in Paris. The balloon soared over the city's rooftops, reaching heights of approximately 150 meters and marking the beginning of a long tradition of hot-air ballooning.
