Thinking about how we will be travelling in 10 or 20 years is very interesting. Will we still be
using planes or will we be flying our cars from Paris to London? Here are some suggestions.
SkyTran
Currently being developed at NASA, SkyTran looks like the monorail at Disney World.
Moving at 240km/h and using small amount of energy, it could be the future of city
transportation. SkyTran has the passenger capacity of a 6-lane highway.
Flying cars
Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin, Chinese students, have designed a solar-powered flying car that
doesn't need a runway to take off. If you have about 2 hundred thousand dollars, you will own
this vehicle soon.
An electric minibus
The minibus Cameo, designed by Martin Pes, can carry 32 passengers but it is small
enough to get its way out of a traffic jam. Its electric motor and low weight mean that it can be
recharged in seconds while stopping and it has zero emission.
An eco-taxi
Taxis are bad for the environment and traffic jams. We enter the eco-taxi, and individual
taxis form a train powered by solar panels.

You used to go to a travel agency to plan your trips, and book air tickets, accommodation
and visas. Today, we do all those things by ourselves.
Twenty years ago, you will need to bring along air tickets, vouchers, travel cheques, and a
heavy carry-on bag with Walkman, CDs, travel journal and etc. The load is so much lighter
now since most stuff can be stored in our tablets or smartphones. Technology is amazing isn't
it?
Airport security was a brief back then. They used metal cutleries and gave all passengers
bags of toiletries to keep them comfortable during the flight. Now, there are many limitations
on things that we can and cannot bring on board. Thanks to "Everyone can fly" tagline, airlines
had to reduce their services to stay afloat. So more people can fly and travel now.
Two decades ago, if you wish to call home, you can only do it at an International
Telecommunications Exchange and dial you home number with no guarantee that it will get
through. These days, all we need to stop by upon arrival is a local SIM card available as you
walk out of the departure hall. The Internet makes it easy for you to Skype, Facetime your
family just to inform them that you have arrived safely.

XI. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
Easy English?
English is an important global language, but that doesn’t mean it is easy to learn. Many
experts have tried to make English easier to learn, but they weren’t always successful. In 1930,
Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words
(and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The
problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but
they couldn’t understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible to explain a word
if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list.
RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for
learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to
English, but with much simpler spelling. ‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ became ‘nue’ and
‘years’ became ‘yeerz’. Unfortunately, for some students of English, Anglic never became
popular.
Even easier is the language which ships’ captains use: it is called ‘Seaspeak’. Seaspeak
uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don’t say,
‘I didn’t understand, can you repeat that?’ it is just, “Say again.” No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English
might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include examples of
Netlingo’ like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later).
1. What is the role of English?
🡲
2. When did Professor Ogden invent Basic English? How many words did it have?
🡲
3. Why did Professor Zachrisson invent Anglic? What happened to it?
