Read the following passage. Decide if the statements are True (T) or False (F). Future cities
What do you imagine cities will be like in the future? Will we have smart
buildings and flying cars? Or robots that will pick up our rubbish? What about schools?
Will we still travel to school or will we study online from home? Perhaps all the


buildings and roads will be underground and we’ll just have parks and cycle lanes above.
Maybe ... or maybe not, but what we do know is that in the future, cities are going
to have more and more people living in them. More than half the world’s people already
live in cities, and by 2050, cities will become home to about 6.5 billion people. That’s a
lot of people and very little space! More people means that we’re going to have more
pollution, traffic and noise. It also means that we’ll need more homes, schools, hospitals,
jobs and transport. We’ll need more resources, like water and energy, and more ways to
grow food too. Oh, and more parks to play in!
Many cities are already planning for the future. For example, Bristol is a cycling
city in England. You can hire a bike (instead of taking a car or bus) and ride in cycle
lanes which are separated from the traffic. In Singapore, people are looking ‘up’ to grow
food! To save space, they grow vegetables in lots of layers in special tall buildings,
called ‘vertical farms’. And in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, there are ‘floating houses’
built on water instead of on land! What do you think city life will be like in the future?
Question 28. Cities are going to have more people in the future.
Question 29. Cities will need fewer buildings in the future.
Question 30. Resources will be less important in the future.
Question 31. Some cities are trying new things to plan for the future.
Question 32. In Bristol, you always ride your bike on the same road as the cars.
Question 33. Singapore’s vertical farms grow food in parks.
