Unit 11. Travelling in the future
Skills 1
There have been many interesting transport inventions. Some become popular, but others flop!
The personal hover scooter floats above the ground. It travels at around 30 kph. But it isn`t popular. Maybe that because it`s expensive. Personally, I think it`s too hard to park!
The monowheel is a single-wheel bike. The driver sits inside the wheel and pedals to go forward. It has one major problem - it can fall over very easily. I think it looks rather weird.
The Segway is a success. It`s a two - wheeled vehicle. The driver pulls the handle to go back or pushes it to go forward. It`s not as popular as the inventors hoped, but you might see one in an airport, or park. I guess it is a convenient, green way to travel.
Which new inventions will we use in the future? Which ones won`t we use ? It`s hard to know!
