The new phone box in London is green/ red/ black. It is the idea of two engineers/ students/ office workers.

An important new idea on the streets of London

A. When tourists are walking in London, they see all the usual things: red buses, black taxis and red telephone boxes. Wait a minute! Is that a green telephone box?

B. The answer is "yes". But when you look through the window of this green phone box, you see it is different. Nobody is dialling a number, having a conversation or hanging up the phone. In fact, there isn't a phone inside - it's a place to charge your mobile phone.

C. This new idea is called a ‘Solarbox’. People can come here and charge their mobile phone batteries. The Solarbox uses solar power and it only needs three hours of sun every day.

D. The phone box is the work of two university students. They were interested in the idea of the Solarbox for three reasons. Firstly, people don’t use the red phone boxes now because they have mobile phones. Secondly, modern phone batteries often need charging. And finally, workers in London need a place to charge their phones when they are away from their home or office.

E. The Solarbox is popular with different people. An engineer, Bhavesh Morar, is using it at the moment. ‘A lot of these phone boxes, they're not used anyway,’ he says. ‘Everyone's got a mobile, so it’s a really good idea!’
