What are the names of the transport inventions?
Read the text and find the names of the transport inventions, we come to task 2.


2.Read the text below and find the names of the transport inventions.

•There have been many interesting transport inventions. Some
become popular, but others flop!
•The personal hover scooter float above the ground. It travels
at around 30kph. But it isn't popular. Maybe that because it's
expensive. Personally, I think it's too hard to park!
•The monowheel is a single - wheel bike. The driver sits inside
the wheel and pedals to go forward. It has one major problem it can fall over very easily. I think it looks rather weird.
•The Segway is a success. It's a two - wheeled vehicle. The
driver pulls the handle to go back or pushes it to go forward.
It's not as popular as the inventors hoped, but you might see
one in an airport, or park. I guess it is a convenient, green way
to travel.
• Which new inventions will we use in the future? Which ones
won't we use ? It's hard to know!
