Lesson 38:
[00:03.29]Let's Invent Hoverboards!My name's Sam.
[00:08.93]Last time I talked to you I told you about my birthday.
[00:14.71]What type of transportation would I like to see in the future?
[00:20.35]I would like to see hoverboards.
[00:24.50]A hoverboard would be like a skateboard but it wouldn't have any wheels.
[00:31.06]It would go really fast and the ride would be so smooth.
[00:37.62]How would a hover¹ board float?I have no idea!
[00:43.26]But it would be great,wouldn't it?
[00:46.92]I hope someone invents one.
[00:50.76]I think someone should invent a transporter,too.
[00:55.80]A transporter would sent you from one place to another instantly².
[01:02.77]It takes eleven hours to fly from Canada to China today.
[01:08.65]But with a transporter,it would take a second.
[01:13.69]You know that sunlight is energy,right?
[01:17.77]Well,I think a transporter would make you into energy.
[01:23.41]Energy can go very fast.I like to watch TV shows about space and spaceships.
[01:31.98]They are shows about the future,not about today!
[01:37.12]In those shows,people use transporters all the time.
[01:43.00]What does "instantly" mean?It means very,very quickly.
[01:50.26]Can you see the word"transporter" in the word "transportation"What's "space"?
[01:59.33]Space is where the stars are.
