This week in school,We studied transportation.
We learned about trains,planes,bicycles,cars and rockets.
The teacher asked us to think about the future.
What types of transportation will people use 100 years from
now?
We had to think of an invention,and present it to the class.
Today,Danny gave his presentation.He put on an old backpack.
He called it Flying Donuts.
He got on a chair and jumped down.
Then he asked,Did you see me?I flew!
I don't know what to present.
I would like to invent a clean car,
but I don't know how
Can you help me think of an idea?

Dear Jenny,
That sounds like a fun project!You're right about cars.
They are very dirty!Everyone should ride bicycles
Our air would be a lot cleaner.You can go far on a bicycle.
Today I rode across the city.
I pedalled for more than an hour!But I haven't answered your
question.
You can't pedal a car!Have you thought of a new fuel for cars?
Televisions and lights use electricity.
Maybe in the future all cars will be electric.
Or maybe someone will invent an engine that uses water or
sunlight.
I hope your presentation goes well.Li Ming.
