Stative verbs normally use simple forms for states: I know the route. Some verbs use continuous forms for an active or temporary meaning: I am thinking about the plan (considering), versus I think it is useful (opinion). A linking verb connects a subject to a description: The square looks attractive; the air feels fresh. Use an adjective, not an adverb, after a linking verb when describing the subject.
Turn off /tɜrn‿ɔf/; an office /ən‿ɔfɪs/; clean air /kliːn‿er/. Link the final consonant smoothly to the following vowel without inserting another vowel. Read: An efficient city needs clean air and open spaces. Do not add an /r/ where neither word has one in the narrated American model.
Our ideal district has shaded paths, reliable buses and accessible public information. I am certain that people need safe routes to school. I am less certain that a new app alone will improve travel. For example, a large arrival display may help one passenger, while another needs a printed map or a staffed help point. What happens if the connection fails? A basic timetable should still be available. Who can help someone who cannot read the display? These questions should shape the design before money is spent on more devices. We also need to know what a traffic sensor records and when those records are deleted. My proposal is a small pilot reviewed with residents, not a claim that all delays will disappear. A smart district should make public services useful to different people.
Follow-up: Why keep paper maps?
Response: They provide another access route when a device, connection or user interface is unsuitable.

Original writing model for the final two review tasks
Living in a smart city can make everyday travel more convenient. Real-time bus information helps residents plan journeys, and sensors can alert workers to faults before they become serious. Well-designed systems may also reduce wasted energy. However, these advantages depend on reliable services and fair access. A person without a smartphone should still be able to find a route or request help. Data collection also creates privacy risks if purposes and limits are unclear. In my view, a smart city should invest in both digital tools and human support. Printed information, accessible design and a staffed help point are not signs of failure; they make the system useful to more people. Technology should serve residents rather than require every resident to adapt to one device.
Write a short final paragraph or spoken conclusion that preserves the model’s message. Use details already supplied, not invented results.
