M: Listen to this! This newspaper article says that
some scientists are working on a new kind of
airplane. People can use these “flying cars” for
short trips.
W: How interesting!
M: The article says the first flying car might be
ready within the next few years.
W: That’s quite soon! How would this flying car
work? Can anybody use one, or is it only for
people who know how to fly airplanes?
M: You don’t need to be an airplane pilot to use a
flying car. The article says there would be a
computer inside the car that would know where
you want to go. The driver does not need to
control the car unless something goes wrong.
W: Does the article say how much a flying car would
cost? It will probably cost too much money! We
would not be able to afford one.
M: True, but wouldn’t it be nice to fly over traffic
jams, instead of sitting in the middle of them?
W: Yes. But then we might end up with traffic jams
in the sky!
