Unit 9: CITIES OF THE FUTURE 
PART 4: SPEAKING 
 the conversation between two Londoners. 
Mary: what are you reading, Jack? 
Jack: I’m reading some predictions about London in 2050. 
Mary: London won’t be a good place to live in, will it? 
Jack: On the contrary, it will be. Although it’s now a stressful and overcrowded city with lots of traffic jams and pollutions, there are plans to improve the situation. 
Mary: how will they do that? 
Jack: well, they’ll build smart underground transport networks. The city will no longer be full of cars. 
Mary: Unbelievable. Anything else? 
Jack: Many eco parks will be built, and they’ll be watered by treated wastewater. 
Mary: this means there’ll be no pollution, will there? 
Jack: that’s right. London will be cleaner and more sustainable. 
Mary: sounds great! I hope I can see their plans come true.
