GOOD LUCK

 don't need pages. It's just interview and your work is to invent something simple and easy for 2100. You do the grammar instruction and underline the instructor ordered. So basically one to two pages describing the invent and do what the instructor ordered for grammar rules. That's it.I don't want complex words. Easy and simple but you most follow the instructor. I WANT THE INVENTION TO BE A FLYING  HOVERBOARD. Because it's in the future. Could you do it? Let me know.But don't make it to long I only need 4 to 7 min interview so don't make it too long.
