1. G.S. was a British inventor and engineer. He is famous for building the first practical railway locomotive.
2. In 1829 he designed a locomotive known as the Rocket,, which could carry both loads and passengers at a greater speed then any constructed at that time.

Yesterday I was on a train trip to the village for the first time. It was very interesting to me! First we got into our car and after that the train started moving. Then I looked out the window for a very long time behind the trees, they were all very beautiful and different. After 2 hours we arrived in the village and there we were met by our grandmother. I would really like to repeat this trip!
Перевод:
Вчера я впервые ехал на поезде в деревню. Мне было очень интересно! Сначала мы сели в наш вагон, а потом поезд тронулся. Потом я очень долго смотрел в окно за деревьями, все они были очень красивыми и разными. Через 2 часа мы прибыли в деревню, и там нас встретила наша бабушка. Я бы очень хотел повторить эту поездку!
