Japan's New Train Will Be "Invisible"

Hi it's me Camden. Today I will be blogging my cool reading task about Japanese trains. Hope you like it my blog fans and fellow bloggers.

Read the article and watch the video.

WALT summarise information

What record did it break? The fastest train at 375 mph

What is different about the new train being built?   It is going to be invisible  

Why does Seibu Railway wish to build it?  Because it is the 100th anniversary of the company

Why was the train's route perfect for this design? ranging from the mountains of Chichibu to the tall skyscrapers of Tokyo.

What will the interior of the train be like?  the exterior of the train is slick and ultramodern,

Critical Thinking Challenge

Do you think high-speed railways could replace domestic air travel in the future? Why or why not?     Well maybe because trains can be faster than planes this is a mabe here is my theory

                 

PLANES are very heavy> Planes have big jets> Planes can only go more than 100 kph  

TRAINS not as heavy as planes> trains have very fast motors> trains can go up to 375

So you have it the winner is

All caught up!
