Who says young people are less (1) ………………………
(create) these days than they used to be? 17-year-old
Aseem has proved that we (2) ……………………… (estimate)
young people far too often. He has been making the
(3) ……………………… (lines) because he has just won a major
award as Young Engineer of the Year with a(n)
(4) ……………………… (believe) invention. He has designed a
pair of jeans that you can play the drums on. Apparently,
Aseem was inspired to design the jeans because he plays
in a band and he was fed up with having to transport a
heavy drum kit around all the time. His special jeans
contain sensors that the wearer taps in different places.
When tapped in one place, you hear one drum beat and
when tapped in another, you hear cymbals clashing. It’s
amazing! The only (5) ……………………… (back) at the moment
is that you have to plug in your jeans to an energy source,
but Aseem is already working on a (6) ……………………… (wire)
version. He will be demonstrating his ‘drum jeans’ at a(n)
(7) ……………………… (nation) trade show along with other
inventors from all over the world. Aseem thinks it’s unlikely
that the jeans will ever go into mass (8) ………………………
(produce) because there probably isn’t the demand for
them. However, he is hoping that his (9) ………………………
(perform) might help him to secure funding for his next
invention. Or, failing that, that it might lead to future
(10) ……………………… (employ) – either as an inventor or a
drummer!
