 The
motor vehicle is an essential part of our lives. Without cars, our lives would
be very uncomfortable. So, when was
the car invented? Who invented it? And how does the car work? At the Kids Motor Show,
you will be able to satisfy all of these curiosities
about cars. It is being held in COEX in Seoul until March 1. On January
17, 4 Kids Reporters went to the motor show to learn all about cars!
The reporters who joined this meaningful visit are: Jeong Seung-hwan
(Seoul Gadong Elementary School), Shin Dam-hee (Buljung Elementary
School), Kim Jee-won (Jungang Elementary School), and Daniel Koo (Kyonggi
Elementary School).
The entrance to the exhibition hall had a funny
look. It looked like a yellow bus! As we entered the hall, we
could see many interesting things! We could see a model of an early car and learn about
the history of cars. We could
also learn about the science behind cars through some experiments. There were guides in each section of the show and they
helped us understand more about cars!
So, what did the Kids Reporters learn there? Here’s what they have
to say about their fantastic experience at the motor show.

I visited the Kids Motor Show early this morning with 3 other Kids
Reporters. There were lots of people there. We
learned many things there. First, we learned about tires from experts. They explained the history of
tires. We saw a tire that was made of 100% wood a long time ago. Later, wooden tires with steel wheels were invented. The
tire that we use today was invented later. I hope better tires come
soon! I think maybe someday there will be a car
that doesn’t have tires.
We also learned about the wings of sports cars. Many
sports cars have wings at the back. I was always curious as to why sports
cars have wings on the back and now I know the answer!
Also, I went Kart racing with the other reporters.
It was really fun because it was actual driving! I know that many
kids want to drive but they can’t because they don’t have a driver’s license. So it would
be a very good experience for kids to drive a real car! The Kids Motor
Show was very interesting and had many good things.

I went to the Kids Motor Show at COEX on January 17 with my little
sister and other Kids Reporters. I learned some new things about cars
that I really want to share with all of you guys.
We learned about the history of car development. The ways to start up a car were
different before. These days, we use a car
key. However, a long time ago, people used the fly wheel to start up a car. Later, the
crank handle was used.
Then, people invented the car pedal. Do you know that cars
with pedals were mostly used by the army? Finally, people started using
the car key. We learned about engines, too! Are you curious
about where the gas goes? I’ll tell you the answer. The gas goes into
an engine part called a cylinder.
Later that day, we drove a car at the Kids Motor Show. My sister was
so young that she couldn’t ride it by herself. So, I
had to ride it with her. The Kids Motor Show was so much fun! I learned
so much many things there. It was cool to learn many new things
about cars. I hope you could learn something about cars from me!

Jee-won
I went to the Kids Motor Show in Seoul! It was my first time to go
to Seoul by myself. So I had to ask people how to get there. Finally
I got there and met with other Kid Reporters! I was very excited!
First, we learned how the first cars looked and the history of cars.
Next, we learned about the complicated science behind
the car.
There, we learned how the pulley works inside the car and how the
engine works. I didn’t know that there are so many scientific facts behind each part of
the car. I was able to learn more about the car there than anywhere
else. I will never forget this experience. It
was an absolutely unforgettable trip!

Koo
I went to the Kids Motor Show. It was very exciting because I had an
interest in inventing before! First thing we saw was Leonardo da Vinci’s
car design. Then, we learned about the history of engines. I also
saw a kind of engine experiment. I got a little frightened because it showed an engine explosion. Then, there was
some car racing that we actually tried. But it was
too slow and there were so many children waiting for it. The most
impressive thing was the
eco car. It is an environmentally-friendly
car.
The eco car is a non-polluting car. So it
helps us keep our environment clean. Eco cars
use a lot of things like wind, water, and solar energy from nature instead of gasoline. I think it will
be very cool to own an eco car. From now
on, I’m going to try to invent things that
don’t pollute our environment! |
