The Good and the Bad News😂
A man goes to hospital for a check-up because he has some medical problems. The doctor tells him that he doesn’t know exactly what the problem is and that they need to do more tests. After weeks of tests, the doctor tells the man that he has some good news and some bad news.
“You have a new and incurable disease,” says the doctor.
“And what’s the good news?” asks the man.
And the doctor says, “We’re going to name it after you.”

Donkey Likes McLaren 🗞
In Germany, a driver parked his orange expensive McLaren right against a donkey’s enclosure. Due to the car’s colour, the donkey probably thought that the car was a carrot.
The animal tried to eat the car and scratched its expensive paint a little. The owner of the car wanted the donkey’s owner to pay him €5,000. The donkey’s owner refused, so the driver filed a complaint.
The cost of a McLaren sports car starts off at around €140,000.
Difficult words: enclosure (a closed area for an animal), refuse (not to do something), file a complaint (to officially say that somebody did something bad to you).

Electric Planes 🗞
EasyJet, a British airline, is interested in using electric airplanes. It already has a two-seater prototype and plans to build a 120-seater plane in 10 years.
The electric planes would have a range of around 530 kilometres, so people could only use them for short flights. However, short flights make up around 20% of EasyJet’s flights.
EasyJet says that electric aircraft could be revolutionary. If clean electricity is generated, there is no need for fossil fuels. Battery-powered planes also claim to be 10% cheaper for airlines, as well as 50% quieter, too.
Difficult words: prototype (the first version of something to test it), fossil fuels (gas or coal), claim (can be).
