Hello, I'm Rob and this is Six Minute English, the show that brings you an interesting topic,
authentic listening practice, and some vocabulary to help you improve your language skills.
And hello, I'm Neil.
Our topic today is Transport.
How do you think you'll be travelling to work in, say, 30 years time, Rob?
Well, not only will home-working be more prevalent, that means common,
but I hope I won't be working in 30 years time.
Ha ha, good answer.
But if we look back and see how Transport has changed in the last 30 years,
it makes you wonder what the future holds?
Yes, we've seen how air travel has become commonplace for many people.
Common place means not unusual.
And there's been the development of high-speed train travel.
But the main priority has been speed, going faster to make your journeys quicker.
That's true, and we'll be discussing some ideas for making Transport even faster soon.
But let's not waste any time and speed on to today's quiz question.
Ah, yes, time waits for no one, not even you, Neil.
So, can you answer this question?
