Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own. The boy is me, six years ago when I was just 11 and the car was small and simple but in my imagination it was a high-speed, Formula 1 racing car, speeding along the race track.
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new drive and garage beside our house. While watching the workmen I had an idea. I'd build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of the new addition to our home. I told my mother and drew up complicated plans but I couldn't find the right materials, so I gave up and spent a miserable couple of days doing nothing. My mother noticed that I'd stopped working and asked me why. I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plans to fit the materials I did have, rather than give up.
And that's just what I did. I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house. When I found a small engine from an old model plane of mine I added that. The power came from a battery attached with some wire I found in a cupboard.
By the time the garage was finished, so was my car. I called my family together outside the house, connected the wires, started the engine and placed the car on the driveway. It was fast and I had to run to the garage to rescue it before it crashed into the new door. My family began to clap and I smiled proudly. Thanks to my mother I learned the value of seeing a project through to its end. Soon I was making plans for my next project: a helicopter!
f seeing a project through to its end. Soon I was making plans for my next project: a helicopter!

II. Read the following passage carefully, then do as directed : (5 marks)
Thinking about how we will be travelling in 10 or 20 years is very interesting. Will we still be using planes or will we be flying our cars from Paris to London? Here are some suggestions.
- SkyTrain: Currently being developed at NASA, SkyTrain looks like the monorail at Disney World. Moving at 240km/h and using small amount of energy, it could be the future of city transportation. SkyTrain has the passenger capacity of a 6-lane highway.
- Flying cars: Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin, Chinese students, have designed a solar-powered flying car that doesn’t need a runway to take off. If you have about 200 hundred thousand dollars, you will own this vehicle soon.
- An electric mininus: The minibus Cameo, designed by Martin Pes, can carry 32 passengers but it is small enough to get its way out of a traffic jam. Its electric motor and low weight mean that it can be recharged in seconds while stopping and it has zero emission.
- An eco-taxi: Taxis are bad for the environment and traffic jams. We enter eco-taxi, and individual taxis form a train powered by solar panels.
