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).
