The First Period Speaking and Listening Step1

Speaking What do you need if you travel to the moon? Sample:

S1: Let’s think about what we would need to protect our skin if we visited the Moon. S2: I’d take some skin cream. That works very well when we go to the sea. S3: Yes, but it’s going to be much too hot to put cream on your skin on the Moon. S4: What’s more you get direct heat from the sun. There are no clouds on the Moon to protect you. S3: Oh dear, and I also have to carry oxygen around with me everywhere because there’s no oxygen on the Moon. S2: Why don’t we carry the oxygen on our backs in a tank? S1: Good idea, but won’t that hurt our skin? S4:

I think it will. Why don’t we wear a spacesuit which has the possibility of protecting your skin and helping you carry the oxygen very easily? S1: A very good idea. We also need some sunglasses as the sun will be as bad for our eyes as for our skin. S3: That’s right. The helmet of the suit can have sunglasses you can use. S2: How will the suit protect our skin? Sample dialogue: A: I’m going to visit a comet. How exciting! I’m leaving tomorrow. B: Please check that you have got the correct sort of spacesuit. You need the kind that will keep you warm in the coldest weather. A: Of course! B: Make sure you know all the safety rules. It’s not safe to stand on a comet or get too close. There is always a strong wind in space. A: Of course I won’t leave the spaceship except to take photos.. B: Photos? Just think of the dust in the air. It will make taking photos very difficult. A: Well, I plan to take some anyway. B: Watch out for the space wind, which can be very dangerous. It makes a strange noise too as it goes through the sky. You may be able to hear it. A: Yes. My space leader has already mentioned that B: Lastly, don’t forget to watch the time as you leave the earth. Then we can check it again when you get back. We can see whether the time you were away is the same time on your watch. Also please pay attention to everything your space guide says. Do not go off on your own. Look at the temperature on our spacesuit at all times. If it gets too low you need to warm it up and if it’s too high you need to push the button to cool it down. Anyway, have a good trip! A: Thank you. I will! Step2

Listening on P62 1.Before listening,discuss in pairs what space travel has taken place so far? which countries have sent people into space? What have they achieved? 2.Listen to the tape and write down the main idea.

The main idea is the excitement of space travel and the qualifications and experience needed to become an

astronaut. 3.True or False 1. Yang Li wei became an astronaut by chance.

2. Nobody over 170cm can be an astronaut.

3. Yang Li wei trained for 10 years to become a pilot. 4.Listening task

1. Why did Li Yan ping have to repair the Hubble telescope?

It needed cleaning so that it would work better. 2. Which two ways does his spacesuit protect him in space? It carries oxygen. It carries hot and cold water to warm him if it’s too cold and cool him if it’s too hot. 3. How does he move about in space?

He used small engines. 4. What does it feel like in space?

Strange because you do not weigh anything. You can fly around like feathers. 5. What happens if you fly too far from the spaceship?

You would continue into space and never get back to the spaceship. 6. Was the repair successful?

Yes. The Hubble telescope works well now. 5.Homework After class, you should listen to them again and sum up what you have learnt from them. For the homework, think about one question: What needs to be an astronaut?
