Speaking exercise

Introduction: Hyperloop might be the new way to transport people and stuffs. Invented by Elon Musk, it’s a controversial technology makes some sort of case in a tube and then use hyperloop to move in a really fast speed.

Thesis: If it’s good or bad depends on how it’s used, to transport which kind of people, which kind of stuff. In some cases it is better than cars and planes in other cases it’s just a waste of money energy and everything. To test in which part it could do the best and their drawbacks need many tests.

  1. It’s fast, faster than cars but slower than planes.

2. People believe it is dangerous because of some biology and physics ways, and some mental problems. Supposedly even a minor flaw could

3. Basically it uses no energy, kind of green stuff if you compare that with cars and trains.

Conclusion:  I thing the second point it wrong, because it’s definitely safe, at least as safe as planes and cars, I think it would be more suitable to transport some presidents from other countries or some important people, basically it takes not time, because they are really busy.


Introduction: Hyperloop might be a revolutionary way to transport people and goods. Invented by Elon Musk, it’s a controversial technology  a vehicle enclosed in a vacuum tube and then using propulsion to move at a really fast speed.

Thesis: If it’s good or bad depends on which kind of people, which kind of goods are transported. In some cases it is superior to cars and planes, in other cases it’s just a waste of money energy and everything. Finding which part it could do the best with and identifying drawbacks still needs extensive testing.

  1. It’s fast, faster than cars but slower than planes.

2. Some physicists believe it is dangerous because of some biological and physics problems, and could cause some mental problems as well.

3. Basically it uses no energy, or a kind of green energy. If you compare that with cars and trains.

ConclusionBiological and mental problems from this speed of transportation seem far-fetched. Because it’s definitely safe, at least as safe as planes and cars, I think it would be more suitable to transport some presidents from other countries or some important people, basically it takes no time, and would be most useful for them because they are really busy.
