I. Vocabulary
Mai: Wow! Driverless cars already exist. I can`t believe it.
Veronica: Yes, they look so cool! What will be next?
Phuc: I`m sure there`ll also be flying cars.
Mai: Does that mean we`ll still have traffic jams... in the sky?
Veronica: Ha ha, yes, maybe there will be!
Phuc: No, I think they`ll have SSS. It`s a sky safety system. It`ll stop everyone from crashing. It`ll help them avoid traffic jams too.
Mai: I`d prefer to have a jet pack. I`ll wear it on my back. It doesn`t take up lots of space, and I`ll use mine to fly anywhere easily.
Phuc: Do you think you can use it in bad weather?
Mai: No, I don`t think it will be pleasant.
Veronica: Then perhaps a teleporter is the best. It makes you disappear. Then you reappear in another place seconds later!
Phuc: Wow, your idea is really imaginative, Veronica!
Veronica: Ha ha, yes. That programme really got me thinking.
Mai: I do worry about one thing. How much fuel will these means of transport use? Will pollution be much worse?
Phuc: Don`t worry, Mai. The future is green! Solar energy will power everything!
