Only five years away- the flying car

Only five years away-the flying car
It happens every day all over the world. People get into their cars and drive into the city. Very soon there´s a traffic jam. In the future there will be more and more cars on the roads. So,will we spend more time in traffic jams? And what will happen to our cities? Will they become huge car parks? How will we solve our traffic problems?
Don´t worry. The answer will soon be here-the skycar. Very soon we won´t have any traffic jams, because we won´t have cars. In the future people will have their own planes, so they won´t drive to the shops-they´ll fly there. The skycar will be here in less than five years.

Twister!
Interviewer: Today was a normal day in Townsville Kansas. The kids were at school. People were shopping. Little children were paying. Then at 11.15 this morning, a huge tornado hit this quiet little town. Luckily for the people of Townsville, young Billy Morgan saw the tornado first and warned everyone. What were you doing when you saw the tornado, Billy?
Billy: I was going to the dentist´s. I had toothache. That´s why I wasn´t at school.
Interviewer: Tell us what happened.
Billy: Well, while I was crossing the street, I saw something in the distance. It was like a big black snake, and it was getting bigger and bigger. It was coming straight towards the town. We get a lot of twisters here, so I knew what it was.
Interviewer: What did you do?
Billy: When I saw it, I shouted ´Twister! Twister!. Then I ran down the street, and I shouted ´A twister´s coming!´ again a again.
Interviewer: What did people do when they heard you?
Billy: Everyone grabbed their children, pets and things and ran indoors.
Interviewer: Where did you go?
Billy: As I was running past the police station, Sergeant Jeffries shouted ´Billy, get in here. I looked behind me, and the twister was already coming down Main Street, so I ran into the poloce station and Sergeant Jeffries shut the door.
Interviewer: What happend next?
Billy: A few seconds later the tornado went past. It picked up the police car and threw it around like a toy. It was really scary. It was very noisy, too. Then suddenly the noise stopped and it was very quiet. It all happened very fast.
Interviewer: The tornado caused a lot of damage to the town, but nobody was hurt, thanks to you, Billy.
Billy: Yes, but I´ve still got toothache. The twister blew the dentist´s sugery down!
