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.
