Listen and read. What are Ann and Minh talking about?

Minh: Oh, another traffic jam.
Ann: How will we get to the campsite on time now?
Minh: I don't know. It's a pity that we don't have a hyperloop now!
Ann: What's a hyperloop?
Minh: It's a system of tubes. You can go from one place to another in just minutes.
Ann: Amazing! Even faster than a flying car!
Minh: Yes, and there are no traffic jams.
Ann: Will it pollute the environment?
Minh: No. There will be no fumes, and it's totally safe.
Ann: Like a teleporter?
Minh: A teleporter is also fast, safe and eco-friendly. But it's a different mode of travel.
Ann: So when we travel in hyperloops, we won't have to worry about bad weather, right?
Minh: Right.
Ann: Sounds great! I hope we'll have them soon.
