https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/kralko Hello, I'm Kari and this PodCast is an interview and oral reading sample of a 5th grade Spanish speaking English language learner. The student may be difficult to hear so maximum volume may be necessary for listening. Actual Reading Passage: Human beings have been inventing since we first appeared on Earth starting with the simple stone age tools. In the last one hundred years, the pace of inventions has accelerated. Not all inventions were immediately recognized as useful. For example, the photograph was not even perceived as a practical tool at the time it was invented by Thomas Edison. Edison is one of the greatest inventors of mankind. Many inventions came from individuals who work alone. Ideas were often a moment of inspiration but the invention always took painstaking hard work over many years. Leonardo da Vinci's helicopter took a few hundred years to develop from his early sketches to what we see today. Some inventions such as the wheel and paper clip are simple. Others like transistors and locomotives are more complex. But each invention has an important impact on man's daily life. All inventions have one thing in common, an inquisitive and creative mind.
