Today you're. Going to improve your. Fluency in English by reading and listening
to English at the. Same time we're going to read a news article
together and this. Is the best method that. You can use to become fluent. Fast Welcome back to JForrest English. I'm Jennifer. Now let's get started first. I'll read the headline the. Aircraft. Of the future. Takes flight. So here we have an aircraft. Most likely you. Refer to this as a. Plane an aircraft is more of the. Category of vehicles that fly. So it includes planes and. That definition for you remember an aircraft. Is just a vehicle. That can fly, so a plane. Or a helicopter. Now someone might ask you. What type? Of plane did you fly on? They could also say what type of aircraft. Did you fly on? That's fine, because a plane is a type. Of aircraft. And then to answer you would say the name
of the plane, so I. Had to Google this because. I don't know any names of planes. Or aircrafts. But my husband? Is always. Very interested in the type of plane we fly
on and he seems to know the types of planes, so he would probably say it was a Boeing. 767 for example. Now the. Aircraft of the future. Takes flight, takes flight. You may be more familiar. With the. Expression to. Take off that's. When the plane leaves the ground and begins
to. Fly to take off. You can also. Say take flight. To mean the same thing, but honestly, take. Flight is less. Common the more common option. Is take off. So I wrote that definition and again, I recommend
you use. Take off. For example, what time does your? Flight take off. You can also say what time do you? Take off. Because you are also. Leaving the ground. But notice here it is common to use flight,
and in that sense it would sound odd to say what time does your. Flight Take flight. Even though grammatically. Off. This headline just. Chose to use Take Flight. So the. Aircraft of the future the. Type of plane of the. Future takes flight, takes off. Now don't worry about writing down these notes
because I summarize everything in a free lesson PDF. You can look in the description for the link
to download it. Now let's continue and talk. About this aircraft of the future. I think you can imagine what type. Of aircraft we're. On this image here in the French Alps last
summer, a plane set 7 new world records. So notice. Here you set a record. And that's just when you accomplish. Or achieve a record, we set a new record. Now you're probably familiar. With to set a target or to set. A goal when you set a. For example I. Set a goal to be. Fluent in three months and that's a very ambitious. Goal to set. Now this doesn't mean you. Achieved it. This simply means. You identified it so. Three months from today. It's your goal to be. Fluent and of course you need to take the
steps. Necessary to achieve that goal. But in this case when the plane set. A record. It does mean it accomplished. That record, it achieved that record. So notice the slight difference in the. Use of set A. Record, it accomplished it, but when you set
a. But you haven't accomplished it at this point. So in the French Alps last summer, a plane
set 7 New World. Records. The. Two seater aircraft. Notice this. The two seater. This is functioning as an adjective, and it's
describing the size. Of the. This aircraft. There are only two seats. Two seats it's. Extremely small, so that's a. Two seater aircraft whereas. A Boeing 767? That might be a 200 seater. 200 people can fit on the airplane, can sit
on the airplane, so I don't know if that's true. It could be a. 400 seater, I'm not sure. So 200 seater. That just describes. How many? Seats are available. On that airplane. You don't need to. Use this just. With planes you could use this with a meeting
room A. Movie theater A. Any type of theater A. Conference room. Where there are specific seats. And then you can describe how many seats as
the number and then notice. You put or cedar, Cedar. So this. Is A2 seater A2 seater aircraft? So said another way, you can say. The the aircraft, the aircraft seats to people
or there are two seats? On. The aircraft. That's the two seater aircraft. Climbed more than 20,000 feet in under 2 minutes. Now this must be impressive. Because it's. Set 7 new. World Records. So it means it was the. 1st to. Accomplish to achieve this and it. Reached speeds. Of 142 miles. Per hour before we move on, I'd love to tell

For work, that is. In the present simple. Because we have our adverb of. Routine action, I frequently. Fly for work. Yesterday I flew. To New York. So this. Is a past simple and this is our past. Simple verb flu. And flown this. Is our participle. We can use this in the present perfect. For example, I've flown three times this month. So it's an unfinished time reference. The present. Perfect. I've flown three times this month. Coming back to our sentence it this is. The aircraft it. Flew nonstop for 300 miles. Nonstop. This is an adverb. It. Describes how it. This is a common adverb, and we frequently
use it in different verb tenses. Specifically the past. Worked nonstop all week, so if you said this,
it means your week is complete because you're saying this in the past. Simple, I've been working nonstop. Your week is. Still in progress? So again, this means continuously. Without. All week. Perhaps these numbers don't sound very impressive,
but consider that the aircraft burned no fuel and emitted. 0. Emissions notice here. The verb is. To emit, emit. Now this simply means produce. But we use it very specifically. We use. It when you produce a sound, a smell. Or a gas. For example, the tower emitted A buzzing sound,
so again. The tower produced. A buzzing sound. Because. It's a sound. We can use the verb emit. The tower emitted A buzzing sound. So here consider. That the aircraft. Burned No fuel. And emitted 0 emissions emissions can be considered. A type of. Gas and that's why we can use emit. Let's continue instead the plane. Now remember this is the same as aircraft,
plane, aircraft. Instead, the plane used an all. Electric motor powered by. A single battery, but remember this is only
a. A very small plane, a very small. Aircraft. Called the E. Genius and built by engineers at the university. Of Stuttgart. The most remarkable thing about this all electric
plane is the. Cost of. Flying it. Let's talk about remarkable, I love. This adjective. It means unusual or special. And therefore surprising and worth mentioning. So to get someone's attention, you could say
the most remarkable thing happened to me today. If someone said that to me, I would be. Very curious. What? What? So what? But you have to make sure that you say something
remarkable. So remember, it has to be somewhat unusual
or special, something that doesn't happen every. Remarkable thing happened to me today. Hmm. Maybe I saw a. Triple. Rainbow, so I. Looked in the sky and there's not one. There's not 2. But there's three. Rainbows visible in the sky. I think that's pretty remarkable. I don't think I've ever seen a triple rainbow. Have you seen a triple rainbow? Put that. In the comments Triple rainbow, Triple rainbow,
Let me know. If you think that's remarkable. So if you do this was just my example I. Thought of it. Right now, I didn't think of it in advance. If you think seeing a triple rainbow would
be remarkable, put that in the comments. That's remarkable. Put in the comments. Wow, that's remarkable. If you think that's remarkable, and feel free
to share your own remarkable thing that happened to you. Today as well. Wow. That's remarkable. Put it in the comments. So here the most remarkable thing about. This all electric? Airplane is the. OK, so notice how they say. All electric. This isn't necessary. You could just say about this electric. Airplane. Because. If you don't specify anything else. I would. Assume it is. Entirely electric. Otherwise, we have a word. If something is only. Partly electric. We call that a hybrid, so a. Hybrid airplane is an airplane that would
use. Some battery power. And some gas power. So if. You just say electric. You don't, actually. Have to specify all electric. It's implied. About this all. Electric airplane is the. So let's see how much this plane costs during
a 62 mile. Stretch of its historic flight. The plane used about 25 kilowatts of. Just over 3 dollars, $3 for 62. Miles. I would say that's pretty. Wow, that's remarkable. $3 to. Fly a plane 62 miles. That is pretty remarkable. Wow, that's remarkable. Now notice how I've been saying $3 to fly
the plane 62 miles. But. Here it's 60. Two mile and there's no S. That's because, right? Here this is functioning as an adjective during
a 62 mile. Is simply. The the flight. So from start to finish. You could say that's the stretch of the. But as an adjective, we don't add plurals
or singulars. To adjectives, so it's just. 62 mile but. If you used. It as a time reference the plane. Flew because remember. This is the past simple of fly. The plane flew. For 62. Miles. So here this. Is just a. Time reference, so we. Need to add the S to make it plural because
we have. More than one one mile, 62 miles and it only. Cost $3. That's remarkable. Now this is according to. Its pilot, so the pilot of the aircraft. The plane Kloss Olman. In all the E genius, remember this is the
name. Of the aircraft. The plane. The electric. Plane the E genius consumed. Just 1/5. Of the energy of a typical. Fuel powered 2. Seater airplane. So here again, they're using the two. The electric. Plane. But to make the comparison fair, both planes
are only two. Seats so we have a 2 seater electric. And a. 2 seater. Gas powered plane. And the electric plane this E genius just
consumed. Just a fifth so off. 5th This is 1. 5th the all. Represents one, so as. A ratio you would see it like. This one. 5th of 5th. 1/5 of the energy this plane the E Genius. The two. Seater Electric airplane. This plane is an emblem of things to come. An emblem of things to come. Emblem just means a representative. Of. So this plane represents. The future? Things to come. Well, that's in the future. So this plane the electric plane represents. The future? This plane is an emblem of things to come. In 20 years you will most likely. Be able to buy a ticket for a flight. On an electric airplane capable of commuting
100 passengers. So remember this would be a 100 seater A-100. Seater aircraft or. Plane 100. Seater. 100 passengers. But this is in 20 years and 100 passengers. That's quite small for a plane, to be honest. Today's batteries. Allow us. With the most advanced car or the most advanced
plane, a range of about 400 kilometers, 400 kilometers, that's not very. Far for. A plane to travel. It's quite far for a car, but for a. Plane, that's not very far, explained Ullman. In five. Years we have we will have double capacity. OK, so in five years, they're estimating 800
kilometers. In 10 years, some scientists speak. Capacity, so 4. 1000 kilometers. Now we're talking about more, perhaps international
trips. To go 4. 1000 kilometers. But that is. In 10 years, so notice in 10 years in. Five years, so. In and then number and then years. You can say in two years I'll move abroad. Notice the future. Simple to move abroad. When you move abroad, it means you move to
another country. That would be. Abroad, I'll move abroad. In two years now, you can also put the time
reference at the end of the sentence. I'll move abroad in 10 years. The verb tense doesn't change. I'll move abroad in 10 years. And remember, this number is flexible now. If it's only one, you need the singular in
one year, In one year. In two years, I'll move abroad. I'll move abroad in one year. In five years we'll. Have double capacity in 10 years, some scientists. Speak about 10 times more capacity technological
advances in electric powered. Flight today will not only make the act of
flying. Cheaper for you, so that's something to look
forward to in 5/10/20. Years electric powered flight will be cheaper,
so that is definitely something to look. Forward to Crucially, they also promised to
revolutionize how the aeronautics industry impacts the global environment. So here the aeronautics industry. Aeronautics represents aircrafts and other. Other objects that fly including spaceships
for example. So aircraft, planes, helicopters remember
most commonly now the global environment. This is because airplanes. A type of aircraft. Remember, airplanes release around 500 million
tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, representing a significant contribution
to global warming. So here notice. The S is on tons. The S is not on million, 500 million tons. I often hear students add the S to millions
and tons, but 500 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year now. You could also use that verb we talked about
before, which was emit airplanes emit around 500 million tons. Release. Produce. Emit. Remember emit. Specifically because we're talking. About a gas electric flight replaces petrochemical
consumption with cleaner. Battery powered electricity. Now petrochemical. I'm going to assume this means. Gas or the fuel that planes use now and that's. Obviously the opposite of battery powered,
which uses electricity, so petrochemical that is not a term I'm familiar with. But we'll just say fuel powered or gas powered
flight with cleaner. Battery powered electricity. So that's the end of our article and we have
something to look forward to in the future. Cheaper flights and. They'll be better for the environment as well
once. Electric flights take off, take flight. So now what I'll do is I'll read the article
from start to finish and this time you can focus on my pronunciation, the aircraft of
the. Future takes flight in the French Alps last
summer, a plane set 7 New World. Records the two seater aircraft climbed more
than 20,000 feet in under 2 minutes and. Reached speeds of 142 mph, it flew nonstop
for 300 miles. Perhaps these numbers don't sound very impressive,
but consider. That the aircraft burned no fuel and emitted
0 emissions Instead, the plane used an ALL. Electric motor powered by a single battery
called the E Genius and built by engineers at the university. Of Stuttgart. The most remarkable thing about this all? Electric airplane is the cost of flying it
during a 62 mile. Stretch of its historic flight. The plane used about 25 kilowatts of electricity
for a total energy cost. Of just over $3, according to its pilot. Klaus Ullman in all the E Genius consumed. Just a fifth of the energy. Of a typical fuel powered 2 seater airplane,
this plane is an emblem of things to come. In 20 years, you will most likely be. Able to buy a ticket for a flight on an electric
airplane capable of commuting 100 passengers today's. Batteries allow us with the most advanced
car or the most advanced plane, a range of about 400 kilometers, explained Allman. In five years. We will have double capacity in 10 years some. Scientists speak about 10 times more capacity
technological advances in. Electric powered flight today will not only
make the act of flying cheaper for you. Crucially, they also promised to revolutionize
how the aeronautics industry impacts the global environment. Airplanes release around 500 million tons
of carbon. Dioxide into the atmosphere. Each year representing a significant contribution
to global warming. Electric flight replaces petrochemical consumption
with. Cleaner battery powered electricity. If you enjoyed this lesson and you want. Me to make more lessons just like this. Then put remarkable in the comments. Put remarkable in the comments.
