Speed Reading — Aircraft Carrier - Level 0 — 100 wpm 

This is the text (if you need help).

China is getting stronger. It has the first aircraft carrier it built on its own. The new carrier weighs 50,000 tons. Navy officials broke a bottle of champagne over the carrier at a traditional ceremony. Workers began building the carrier in 2015. The Navy will test it at sea for three years. It will be ready to use in 2020.

A spokesperson was proud of the carrier. It shows China is a modern and strong country. The new carrier will protect China's borders, shipping and trade routes. A social media user said the carrier showed China's "technological power…and strength". China may build four more carriers, like the U.S. Navy carriers.

Back to the aircraft carrier lesson.
