Listening Practice 1

Jenny: Hey, Josh. What are you looking at?

Josh: Hey, Jenny. Check this video out.

Jenny: Whoa! Is that a jet pack?

Josh: Yep!

Jenny: Is that real? I thought jet packs were only in movies. I heard they were just a special effects trick.

Josh: It’s real. I read that jet packs have been around for over 40 years.

Jenny: Really? Can you buy them?

Josh: Well, there are a few companies that make them, but to buy one, you have to be trained and get a special license.

Jenny: Wow! How much does that cost?

Josh: Around 200,000 dollars.

Jenny: Oh. So I guess we can’t ask Mom to buy us one.

Josh: Not yet. But maybe in the future, they will become cheaper and easier to operate.

Jenny: I sure hope so.
