Transportation of the Future.
In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically operated cars. So in a few years people won't worry about running out of gas. Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F&C Motors, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models. Transportation of the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky. But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you'll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you'll hear someone say, "The shuttle to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed".
Discuss the following:
1. Do you think the prediction can come true?
2. Have you ever thought of going to the cosmic space
as a tourist?
3. What would you say if you were offered a trip on a
shuttle?
73.*** Read this transcript of a radio interview with
Professor Jason Lin, a well-known researcher of
the Future Watch Institute. There are fifteen
forms that refer to the future. Find and underline
them.
Interviewer: For those of you who are just tuning in, this is "Looking into the Future". I am William Bee, and you are talking with Professor Jason Lin. Good afternoon, Professor. I understand you are going to tell our listeners about the cars of the future.
Professor Lin: That's right. I believe there will be some surprising changes in the next century. Let me give you some examples. Cars of the future are going to have 'brains'. They'll start themselves, and they'll adjust the seats, mirrors and steering wheels automatically. Luxury cars will even ask you where you want to go and tell you the best route to take.
Interviewer: That certainly is amazing! I'm sure lots of our listeners have questions for you, but, unfortunately, we only have time for a few call-ins today.
Professor Lin: Well, you know, I'm speaking at the annual Car Show next week. The show begins at 10:00 a.m. on August,11. I'm going to talk more about the plans for cars in the future. I'm also going to show some models. I hope many of your listeners will be there.
Interviewer: I'm sure they will. We have to pause for a commercial break. But don't go away, listeners. We'll be right back - and Professor Lin will be ready to answer some of your questions.
