It is a computer drawing of the plane of the future. British engineers and scientists have
published plans for a new hypersonic plane called the A2. It will be very fast. At the moment,
a flight from London in the UK to Sydney in Australia takes about twenty-one hours but with
the A2 the same flight will take around four hours.
The flight will fly at 4,500 kilometres per hour and will fly at an altitude of over 10,000
metres. It will carry 300 passengers but it doesn’t have any windows because scientists haven’t
found glass that is strong enough. It will be better for the environment than other planes
because the engines won’t produce gases that cause pollution.
In the future, will people travel from London to Australia for the weekend? It’s possible!

Exercise 4. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
Canadian English is the type of English that is used by Canadians. It is like American English
in terms of vocabulary, but its grammar is like that of British English.
Canadian English is generally taught in schools using British ways of spelling, such as colour,
flavour, and so on. However, the word themselves are usually American, in part because
Canadians watch a lot of American TV shows and listen to a lot of American pop music.
Rarely, the British form of words may be replaced with American forms, such as plow,
programme, and so on.
The main exception to this rule is terms related to cars and the auto industry. Because Canada's
auto industry has always been dominated by American firms, Canadians use American words
and spelling for such terms. Canadians and Americans spell the outer rubber portion of a wheel
as tire instead of tyre, put gasoline or gas in their vehicles instead of petrol, store items in the
trunk instead of the boot, and may drive a truck instead of a lorry.
Canadian English is different from other forms of English in its spoken form also. The dialects
vary from sounding overtly English to an indistinguishable form very similar to those spoken
in the northern states.
1. Canadian English is like American English in terms of grammar. ________
2. Canadian English use British ways of spelling. ________
9
3. Canadians watch American TV shows and listen to American pop music. ________
4. Canadians don’t use American words and spelling for auto industry. ________
