HENRY FORD (BIOGRAPHY)

HENRY FORD
One day in 1893 the citizens of Detroit, Michigan were amazed to see a motor vehicle coming down the street. The driver's name was Henry Ford.
Henry had been interested in mechanical things even as a young boy. His mother had died in 1875 when was only twelve. At school he was not a good student. His father wanted him to become a farmer, but Henry's dream was to make cars.
In 1903 he founded the Ford Motor Company. His idea was to make cars that were lighter, cheaper, and faster. His most successful car was the Model T.Ford sold fifteen million between 1908 and 1925. By 1924 the factory was producing 7,500 cars each day. Ford's cars were cheap because he had his own factories for most things he needed-glass, leather, wood. He had his own mines. He even built his own ships and planes.

Introduction

ITALY
Italy is one of the most beautiful countries of the world.
There are very interesting cultural and tourist places.
In Italy is the city that I like the most: Venecia. Although I even traveled there I think this is a wonderful place, where you can go around the city into a boat and enjoy the magical things that Italy has to give you.
