Ich habe mein Kurzreferat zu ende geschrieben und wollte wissen ob ihr irgendwelche gramatischen Fehler entdeckt
The first years
The car was not invented overnight.The dream to drive as fast as the birds can fly is very old. The history of the automobile begins in the early 18 th, with the creation of steam-powered automobiles. (Folie)The steam-powered automobile was invented by Nicholas Cugnot a French artillery officer , who actually invented a first machine that was not powered by horses It was obvious, that it wouldn't succeed because when he showed the invention to the high military the machine crashed into a wall. Cugnot forgot to install a brake which could stop the machine. And in the beginning when the people didn't know how to handle these novel vehicles there were many accidents. In the first year in Britain 900 people lost their life because of a accident with a steam-powered car. So the British government decided for a law which was called by people ,,The red flag act”(Folie) which says that every vehicle that ist not powered by horses is allowed to drive with maximum of 4 miles an hour and that somebody else has to go in front of the car with a red flag and has to warn people.he steam-powered automobiles lost popularity when the petrol engine was invented. Why loosed it popularity ? The petrol powered vehicles achieved a higher speed,did not have to carry wood or coal with it and reached a greater scope.
The first four-bar engine was invented by Nicolaus Otto. In the year 1864 Nicolaus Otto founded with Eugen Langen the company ,,Deutz” which produces engines until today for ships and Farm Machinery. But the first real car which was driven with petrol was invented by Carl Benz in the year 1886 (Folie). The biggest wish of the German engineer was to change the world . He wanted a world in which the distance does not matter. And he succeeded. His invention is still regarded as best invention of the humanity. The first cross-country trip took Bertha Benz in August 1888 from Mannheim to Pforzheim and back . It went pretty quickly from the light gasoline, naphtha, therefore she had to refuel which was sold as a cleaner in pharmacies. So the city was the first gas station in the world
Cars today
In the 20th century, the technology changed in the cars and the cars themselves very much. Probably the best invention in the history of automobiles was the airbag. (Folie) It has saved since its invention even thousands of people. According to one study, the number of victims has decreased since the introduction of air bags by about 46%. How does it work? Depending on the vehicle he opens from 20-30Km/h.Apropos its not a real balloon, but an air bag, which the expelled gas is released again, so that one is caught gently. If he stays inflated, it would have the adverse effect that the head is thrown back again. He is usually triggered by pressure sensors in the front of the vehicle.
Of course, the car simplified our everyday life and allows us to cover vast distances with little effort. But we have to think about our environment. An avarage car produces about 180 g Co2 and if we add up the number of automobiles in Germany, we come to an enormous number which damages the environment every day.

Deinen Text fand ich sehr interessant (Autos sind ja wohl Männersache!), der ist dir wirklich sehr gut gelungen. Allerdings bin ich ja so ein pingeliger Typ und gebe dir mal ein paar Vorschläge, über die du dich so richtig hermachen kannst! Viel Spaß damit
