Act.6 Work in pairs. Look at the notes you have made in Activity 5. Talk about：
·Which flight takes a longer time
·Which flight is more expensive
Act.7 Read the passage and complete the table.
Concorde could carry one hundred passengers and flew faster than the speed of sound. Many people think Concorde was one of the greatest planes. But now Concorde is just part of history.
For twenty seven years, passengers travelled across the Atlantic Ocean on this plane. Most of them were business
people, film stars, rock stars and sports heroes. Flying at more than twice the speed of sound, Concorde took people from London or Paris to New York in just over three hours.
The invention of Concorde was a huge step forward. The plane was like a time machine. If Concorde left London at 10：30 am, it arrived in New York at about 8：30 am (1：30 pm London time)the same day.
However, the plane had many problems. It was very noisy. Some believed that its noise was bad for the environment, and that it could hurt people's ears. In a terrible accident in 2000, near Paris, 113 people died, and after that fewer people wanted to fly on Concorde. It became too expensive to continue the service. At the end of October 2003, Concorde stopped flying.
