Good Luck.
A solar-powered plane has [made / making] history by flying from Japan to Hawaii, a [journey / journeyed] of almost 6,500 kilometres. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. Solar panels that [covering / cover] the plane convert the sun's rays into [power / powerful] . Scientists hope that all airplanes in the future will fly [usage / using] solar power. Solar Impulse 2 landed in Hawaii after a 118-hour [flight / flights] across the Pacific Ocean. Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg tweeted about his feelings [later / after] arriving in Hawaii. He wrote: "Just landed in Hawaii with Solar Impulse….It's a dream coming [true / truth] ." The flight broke the record for the longest journey made by a [solo / alone] pilot in an unfuelled plane. The previous record was 76 hours, [get / set] by American pilot Steve Fossett in 2006.

Solar Impulse 2 is [attempted / attempting] to fly around the world using only solar power. It set [on / off] from Abu Dhabi in March and [stopping / stopped] in Oman, India, Myanmar and China. Its next stop will [go / be] Arizona in the USA. From there it will [flight / fly] to New York, before heading to Europe and then back to Abu Dhabi. One [of / for] the aims of the journey is to raise awareness about climate change and [renewing / renewable] energy. Solar Impulse 2 co-pilot Bertrand Piccard [told / tell] the USA Today newspaper that: "The most important thing isn't to make world records. It's to show what we can do with [dirty / clean] technologies." This is important for our planet because airplanes produce around 12 per cent of the CO2 from all [sources / sauces] of transportation.
