Script:
Good morning, everyone. Today I'd like to tell you about life on a planet called Planet Hope.
Planet Hope is in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is three times bigger than Earth. It has three suns and four moons, so the weather is hot all year round, and its surface is quite dry. Planet Hope has only one season.
The creatures living there are Hopeans, and they don't look like us. They have a big head, four eyes, two legs, and four arms. They have thick skin to protect them from the heat. They are very friendly and hospitable. They are only dangerous to people who try to attack them.
Hopeans grow special plants for food. They don't drink liquid water, they drink a type of petrol from under the ground. Hopeans use rockets to travel at very high speeds.
That is my description of Planet Hope and the creatures living on it. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for listening.
II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
In the future, transportation will change greatly thanks to technology. Self-driving cars will become more common, making travel safer and more convenient. These vehicles will use sensors and GPS systems to move without human control, helping to reduce traffic accidents and improve travel times. People will be able to relax, work, or even sleep while the car drives itself.
Another major change will be the use of electric and flying vehicles. Electric cars are already becoming popular because they do not produce harmful gases. In the future, flying cars may also be used in crowded cities to save space and reduce traffic jams. Some companies are already testing flying taxis that take off and land vertically, just like helicopters.
Public transport will also be faster and more efficient. High-speed trains powered by clean energy will connect cities in minutes instead of hours. Some trains may float above the tracks using magnetic technology. These changes will not only save time but also protect the environment by lowering pollution from cars and planes.

TASK 2. Use your imagination and write a paragraph (120-150 words) to describe what aliens living on another planet would be like.
Sample writing:
In my imagination, aliens living on another planet would look very different from humans. They might have large heads, big bright eyes, and thin bodies. Their skin could be green, blue, or even purple. Some aliens might have special abilities, such as flying or becoming invisible. They could also communicate with each other using their minds instead of speaking. The planet where they live might have strange landscapes with colorful plants, glowing rivers, and unusual animals. Aliens might be very intelligent and have advanced technology that humans have never seen before. For example, they could travel through space very quickly or build cities that float in the air. Although they look different from us, aliens might be friendly and curious about humans. If we meet them one day, we may learn many interesting things about their planet and their way of life.
