As air travel becomes more and more popular, simply getting to the airport can be a challenging and unpleasant experience. You pay a fortune to park your car, then you have to walk for hours with heavy suitcases to arrive at the terminal. Well, a farmer from China called He Liang has come up with an idea which solves both problems: a suitcase that you can ride like a motorbike. He has called it the City Cab. It is powered by a battery and can travel up to 60 km at a speed of 20 km/h. And, of course, you don't need to find a car park for the City Cab - you just drive into the airport terminal and check it in!

7. SPEAKING Work in pairs. Tell your partner about a journey on which you experienced travel problems, for example, a delay. What was the problem? How did it affect your journey?
I remember one time when I was flying to a friend's birthday, and my flight got delayed for several hours due to technical issues. I had to wait in the airport for what felt like forever, and I was worried that I would miss the party. I tried to call my friend to let her know, but I couldn't get a signal. Finally, after a lot of waiting and frustration, they announced that the flight was ready to board. By the time I arrived at the party, it had already started, but at least I made it in time for the reception. The whole experience was really stressful, and I learned that it's always a good idea to have a backup plan and allow plenty of extra time when traveling.
