[00:31.03]This week in school,We studied transportation.
[00:37.20]We learned¹ about trains,planes,bicycles,cars and rockets.
[00:45.37]The teacher asked us to think about the future.
[00:50.73]What types of transportation will people use 100 years from now?
[00:58.28]We had to think of an invention,and present it to the class.
[01:05.04]Today,Danny gave his presentation.He put on an old backpack.
[01:13.09]He called it Flying Donuts.
[01:17.66]He got on a chair and jumped down.
[01:22.94]Then he asked,"Did you see me?I flew!"
[01:28.79]I don't know what to present.
[01:32.66]I would like to invent a clean car,
[01:37.41]but I don't know how
[01:41.25]Can you help me think of an idea?

[02:11.74]Dear Jenny,
[02:14.69]That sounds like a fun project!You're right about cars.
[02:20.64]They are very dirty!Everyone should ride bicycles
[02:26.81]Our air would be a lot cleaner.You can go far on a bicycle.
[02:33.05]Today I rode across the city.
[02:37.18]I pedalled for more than an hour!But I haven't answered your question.
[02:44.26]You can't pedal² a car!Have you thought of a new fuel for cars?
[02:50.50]Televisions and lights use electricity.
[02:55.23]Maybe in the future all cars will be electric.
[03:00.38]Or maybe someone will invent an engine that uses water or sunlight.
[03:06.93]I hope your presentation goes well. Li Ming.
