The Introduction Information

1. Change the title. Change the title of the article, but make sure it is still a suitable title yet an interesting title. 

‘History of John Britten’s Super Bike’

I changed the title to History of John Britten super bike 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 super bike. 

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.

3. List the Author/s and Illustrator/s of the text. 

The author of Super bike is Jane Buxton.

4. In a paragraph, write a short synopsis/review of what it was about.

He went through a lot of stuff while trying to make his superbike successful. When he was about 12 years old, he saved up enough money to buy a petrol motor. In that way, he can make his very first go-kart.
