TRANSPORT

in #steemiteducation5 years ago

Hi Friends,
This word entails movement from one place to another by different means (land, water and air) with specific natural and man-made facilitating means (foot, horse, camel, bicycle, train, boat, ship, helicopter, plane). My greatest worry at child-hood was on birds and swallows in particular with flew to and from out farms during the harvesting seasons when we carried farm produce on our heads some 4-5km away from our homes on stony and muddy roads on bare feet. Before one could go 20m, a particular swallow had flown far to some hilly areas and back more than 10 times even. At this view, one’s load became heavier and I always pondered why God did not make us to have feathers to fly like birds with our farm produce. With these contemplations I generally reached home in tears due to weight, distance and the fact that these farms were on hilly areas and we descended on trembling legs accompanied by hunger.

The age of discovery in history which came with the building of larger stronger ships which could sail far distances in deep seas enable European to explore far-off areas that even gave birth to a name like “New World” which was a discovery that disproved Toscanli’s map of the world with its limitations. Predominantly, land transport had certainly been the oldest means all over the world before the coming of water transport to the time of air transport its varied sophisticated objects of transport today. This is the transport means that have taken people away from the earth unlike the first 2 which kept man and his thought abilities roaming on earth under its gravitational force.

I appreciate the technological know-how of the scientists from whom we get facts about experiences out of the earth thanks to air transport. It is from this transport domain that we hear of astronauts while our own local experience in space remains the tallest tree one has ever climbed.

Below is chart from my free-hand drawing on means of transport which often cause learners to express interested means of transport and those that cause feelings of fear when mentioned.
