Read the passage and decide if the statement is True or False.
In Britain, the climate is not very good. There are very few hot days and it rains a lot. Because of this, people spend a lot of time at home. Generally, British homes have a lot of furniture in them, carpets on the floors and heavy curtains.
Many houses in Britain are old. Many of them are over one hundred years old. Often, they do not have enough insulation and the heat goes out through the windows, the doors and up the chimney.
Because of the climate, people in Britain have to send a lot of money on heating. Many houses have special system called “central heating”. The heats all the rooms and, at the same time, heats the hot water. Houses without central heating often have gas, electric or coal fires. The rooms in most British houses are quite small.
New houses are much better. They have two layers of glass in the windows to stop the heat going out.

Travelling in the future will be much easier and safer.
People may travel in a driverless car. Even old or disable people will be able to use it because the car can drive itself. However, a driveless car will be expensive.
People can choose to go on foot on moving pavements. A Swiss company has invented a system of high- speed moving pavements. People will go through the streets at up to 15 km per hour just by standing on the pavements. This will reduce travelling time of pedestrians and traffic jams effectively. Therefore, more people will leave their vehicle home.
Tick T/F
People can go through the streets at up to 50 kph just by standing on the pavements
