1. 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 floats above the
ground. It travels at around 30 kph. 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!
