Reading 2

Boy: I know all my friends have got one. Okay, Dad got me a TV - which is great - and for my last birthday I got a computer, but it only plays CD-ROMs, so I can’t watch DVDs in bed, unfortunately!

What hasn`t the boy got in his bedroom?

Woman: I hope we have flying cars one day. That’d be great, wouldn’t it?

Man: It would, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.

We’re much more likely to have robots.

Woman: Robots? But we’ve already got them.

Man: Well, we’ve got them in factories, but we don’t have

robots that help around the home.

Woman: Oh, that sounds nice. Do you really think that’s going to happen?

What does the man think we will have in the future?

Girl: We’re going to be given a project to do after we get

back from the museum. I suppose it’ll be about astronauts.

Boy: I don’t think so. I remember Mrs Button saying

something about researching planets.

What will the girl`s project be about?

Girl: What are you reading? Another football magazine?

Oh, I know, something about skateboarding.

Boy: Actually, this is a really interesting science

magazine.

Girl: Let me see - what’s that?

Boy: It’s about asteroids hitting Earth.

Girl: Oh, I thought it was a picture of a wheel!

What`s the boy reading about?

Woman: I keep mine in my bedroom because it’s too big to move around. I love it though. I can contact all my friends on it. It’s a lot cheaper than sending text messages all the time! I’ll probably get a laptop sometime in the future, but, for now, this is fine.

What is the woman talking about?
