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).

Good Driver😂

A guy was driving when a policeman stopped him. He rolled down his window and said to the officer, “Is there a problem, Officer?”
“No problem at all. I just saw your safe driving and I’m pleased to award you with a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations! What do you think you’ll do with this money?”
The guy thought for a minute and said, “Well, I guess I’ll go get that driver’s license.”
The lady who was sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, “Oh, don’t pay attention to him. He tries to be funny when he’s drunk.”
The guy from the back seat said, “I told you guys we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car!”
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice said, “Are we over the border (граница) yet?”
