1 Goals of the lesson.
I am very glad to see you at our lesson and hope that we will work very productively. You know that our topic is ‘ Transport’. We have done a lot of work on this topic. We spoke about different means of transport, about public transport, about exotic taxis around the world. Today we will speak about its future and different visions of this future.
2 Introductory talk.
2.1 To start our conversation I would like you to answer this question:
Why is transport important for any country?
Possible answers:
Transportation provides access to natural resources and promotes trade, allowing a nation to accumulate wealth and power.
Reliable transportation allows a population to expand throughout a country's territory and to live comfortably in remote areas far from factories and farms.
Transportation is vital to a nation's economy.
The transportation industry is the largest industry in the world. It includes the manufacture and distribution of vehicles, the production and distribution of fuel, and the provision of transportation services
The same transportation systems that link a nation can also be used in the nation's war efforts. The rapid movement of troops, equipment, and supplies can be a deciding factor in winning a battle or a war.
2.2 Look at these quotations, which one do you like most of all? Why? Do you agree with the idea?
“You can't understand a city without using its public transportation system.”
― Erol Ozan
“Bicycles are the most efficient vehicles on the planet, 50 times more efficient than cars, and twice as efficient as walking.”
― Godo Stoyke,
“I want all transportation out of the city shut down. No boats leave, no planes take off and shoot a bus driver or two to show that we’re serious.”
― Larry Gent
"An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport,"
Enrique Peñalosa.
3 I have prepared a short quiz for you about some interesting fact from the history of transport. I hope you will be able to deal with these questions.

5.4 Critical thinking questions:
Why do you think this startup is successful? What is needed for a success? What is Uber’s future?
6 Individual project ‘Elon Musk’s Plans to Colonize Mars’
The success story of Uber is a matter of short-term future.
Establishing a permanent colony of humans on Mars is not an option. It's a necessity.
At least, that's what some of the most innovative, intelligent minds of our age — Buzz Aldrin, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Bill Nye, andNeil deGrasse Tyson— are saying.
Now let’s listen to our student’s presentation about Elon Musk’s ideas and plans to colonize Mars.
New vocabulary:
A fuel tank- топливный бак
Propellant- ракетное топливо
Booster- стартовый двигатель
A payload- полезная нагрузка
Methane- метан
ISRU- International Scientific Space Station
ISS- International Space Station
Cargo- груз
To dock- стыковаться
Launch mount- пусковая установка
7 Discussing the video with the help of critical thinking questions.
Would you like to join the expedition to Mars?
If you decided to join the mission, what would you like to be responsible for: work of the rocket, fuel tank and boosters, laboratory work, be a member of medical team, be a psychologist, a constructor?
Do you think it is necessary to work on Mars colonization?
Possible answers:
Of course, it's extremely difficult to foresee how manned missions to Mars that would cost hundreds of billions of dollars each, could benefit mankind. It's easier to imagine how that kind of money could immediately help in the fight against cancer or world hunger. That's because humans tend to be short-sighted. We're focused on what's happening tomorrow instead of 100 years from now.
"If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before," Hawking said in 2008
The only home humans have ever known is Earth. But history shows that surviving as a species on this tiny blue dot in the vacuum of space is tough and by no means guaranteed.
The dinosaurs are a classic example: They roamed the planet for 165 million years, but the only trace of them today are their fossilized remains. A colossal asteroid wiped them out.
Putting humans on more than one planet would better ensure our existence thousands if not millions of years from now.
"Humans need to be a multiplanet species," Musk recently said.
nother reason we should go to Mars is to inspire the next generation of space explorers.
8 Summary of the lesson.
As you remember, at the beginning of the lesson we set a goal of discussing the future of the Earth’s transport. Do you think we have managed to do it?
9 Home task will be to revise all vocabulary on the topic using Mind Maps.
