‘History of John Britten’s Super Bike’
I changed the title to History of John Britten superbike because, in the article. It basically explains how John Britten created the go-kart and the bikes, it also explained when he started making the bikes. So I made the decision to name it the history of John Britten superbike.
2. State what ‘Genre’ the text is. Is it a play, story, article etc?
In my opinion, I think the genre is non-fiction and history. It’s non-fiction because all of the things that he says are actually real. I think it’s also history because the cars that they use are different from what we use right now. Basically, we're in the modern world right now.

In that way, he can make his very first go-kart.

I named it the Stanley steam powered car, because the steam powered car was created by the Stanley brothers. The credit has to belong to them.

In a paragraph, write a short synopsis/review of what it was about.
The Stanley twins created a steam powered car, they didn’t want an electric car because you have to charge it. They also didn’t want a petrol-driven car, because it produces smelly fumes. The car that they invented is much better than the electric cars and the petrol-driven car. You can easily turn it on, and it can go up to 204 kilometers per hour which is fast.
Would you buy one?
Would you own and drive a steam powered car? Why/why not?
I would buy a steam powered car, because it’s easy to use and it doesn’t release any toxic or smelly fumes. It's safer to use a steam powered car than using a petrol driven car and an electric car. Just imagine if there something wrong with the electric car, you might get electrocuted,
What are the pluses and minuses to the steam powered car?
Pluses
Easy to use.
No need to use electricity.
No smelly fumes.
Easy to start.
Minuses
Might release a toxic smell.
Might break down in the middle of the road.
