Dylan, Emma and Luke are flying through
space in a small spaceship when they fly
into a meteor shower. Fortunately, they
survive, but now their ship is damaged. They
can’t see the Sun or Earth but they can see
another strange planet nearby.
What will they do next?
They decide to land on the planet. They walk around
for an hour, and then Dylan says, ‘Wait! I heard
a noise. Listen! There it is again!’ ‘Oh no,’
whispers Luke. ‘It sounds like a space lizard.’
Then suddenly they see an animal walking towards
them. Luke was right. It’s a space lizard! What
will they do next?
They will land on the planet. They won’t
make a noise. They might run away.

1. Astronauts prepare a lot before they go to the ISS.
2. Everybody speaks English on board.
3. Weightlessness is good for astronauts.
4. Astronauts can’t shower in the ISS.
5. Astronauts wear $ight suits all the time.
6. Astronauts bring their own food on board.
Lesson 5
1 1.28 Read and listen to the article.
2 Read and write True, False or Don’t know.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the most
expensive single object ever built! It travels around
Earth 15 times a day at 27,000 km/h. It is both a
laboratory and a home to astronauts.
There are between three and six astronauts from
different countries living in the ISS at any time and
they usually spend up to six months there. Space
vehicles travel to the station bringing new supplies
and transporting crew members. People who are
going to work there have to train very hard before
they go. Once they get there, their daily life is going
to be very different.
Living together
It is important that the astronauts learn to live with
each other and work together even though they
may speak different languages and have different
customs. They have to share cleaning and repair
duties like in any house. They are going to be living
with the same people very closely for months.
Weightlessness
Without gravity, everything has to be
fastened down. This can be good fun for
the astronauts because they can "oat
around, but it also causes problems.
There is no up or down, so they can feel
sick for a while and get headaches until
they get used to it. It can also make
their bones and muscles very weak.
Personal hygiene
The astronauts clean
themselves with a wet
soapy cloth because
there are no showers
or sinks on board. The
little water they have
is for drinking and preparing food. Some water
is recycled from the air, but most of it has to be
brought from Earth.
Clothes
The astronauts can wear any
comfortable clothes, but they can’t
wash them, so they need to bring
enough. They have a "ight suit for
when they "y in the shuttle which
transports them to and from the ISS.
When they go outside to work, they
wear special suits to protect them
from the dangers of space.

1. How is life on the ISS similar to being on Earth?
2. How is life very different?
3. Imagine you are going to stay there for three months.
- What are you going to take with you?
- Explain what your life is going to be like there.
Lesson 6
1 1.29 Read and listen to the article.
2 Read and answer.
Mealtimes
Astronauts have three meals a day, like on Earth, as
well as snacks. They can eat some food in its natural
form, such as fruit and nuts. There isn’t a fridge on
board so a lot of the food is dried and they need to
add water to it. There is an oven to warm food up.
They have to drink with a straw so the liquid doesn’t
"oat around and damage the machines.
Household jobs
The ISS is like a large house that needs to be
kept clean. Like in any house, after meals it can
get messy. There is a vacuum cleaner and the
astronauts also have to wipe the walls and "oors
with detergent. They store the rubbish, which is then
brought back to Earth on the next shuttle.
The astronauts also need to do repairs, and this can
mean going outside for a spacewalk! They are held
to the station by a robotic arm or by cords to stop
them "oating away into space.
Work
The ISS is a "oating laboratory for different kinds
of experiments, including testing the possibility of
living on the Moon or Mars. Most of the astronaut’s
time is spent carrying out experiments. Scientists
can #nd out a lot from research carried out in a
weightless environment. The astronauts usually
practiceMorepracticeMore
work for about nine hours a day, which includes a
meeting with mission control.
Exercise
The astronauts must exercise for at least two hours
a day to stay healthy. They have exercise bikes and
a running machine. It is important that they are #t
and keep their muscles working. Without gravity,
they do not use their bodies in the same way and it
is easy for the bones and muscles to deteriorate.
Relaxation
The astronauts all get some free time - but obviously,
being on a spaceship they are on permanent alert.
They can bring things with them, such as books
and music. They can watch DVDs and chat to
their families via a video link or send e-mails. The
most popular activity though is looking out of the
window! They like to look at Earth, take photos, see
the Moon and Sun rise and just marvel at its beauty.
Bedtime
In space there is no up or down, and so astronauts
can sleep any way round! They do have to tie
themselves down so they don’t "oat around and
bump into something. Space station crews usually
sleep in special sleeping bags in small cabins just big
enough for one person.

Dear Maria,
Are you enjoying your summer holiday? We’re having
a fabulous time here in Japan. It’s sunny and
warm. Since we arrived in Tokyo, we’ve visited
three temples, a museum and an aquarium. Have you
ever eaten sushi? I love it! We’re eating it again
tonight! This time tomorrow I’ll be in Osaka. We’re
going to see a famous castle and we might watch
a traditional puppet show. Next week, we’re going
to see Mount Fuji. It’s Japan’s tallest mountain.
We might not see it because it’s often covered
in clouds! I have learnt how to say ‘Hello’ and
‘Goodbye’ in Japanese.
See you soon! Sayonara!
dear mum and dad

1 Imagine you have to live in a desert. Discuss the questions with a classmate.
2 Read and write sentences about how the Bedouin people adapt to desert life.
They wear long clothes to protect themselves against the heat.
1. How would your life be different?
2. What would you need to survive?
Life in the desertImagine living in a desert where water is scarce and plants do not grow easily! The Bedouin people have lived in the deserts of the Arabian peninsula and North Africa since ancient times.
TentsTents are the centre of Bedouin life. Women weave animal hair into a special cloth for tents. This material provides shade from the sun and protection against the wind and rain. In the summer, tents are cool inside, and in the winter, they stay warm. Tents are decorated with beautiful curtains and carpets, which are also made by Bedouin women. Each tent is divided by a curtain; men sit on one side, and women sit on the other! The tents are portable, and it is the women’s job to take them down, pack them on the camels and put them up again.
FoodIn the desert, food must be easy to carry and must last for a long time without a fridge. So the Bedouin use a lot of dry foods like $our, rice and dried fruit. They also make $at bread over the !re. The Bedouin only eat meat on special occasions. In that case, they go hunting or kill a sheep or a goat. They drink strong tea and coffee.
AnimalsThe Bedouin people keep several animals, including camels, sheep and goats. Camels are very important to the Bedouin because they carry their belongings and because they are well adapted to the harsh conditions in the desert. All these animals provide the Bedouin with meat, milk and wool or hair for weaving.
ClothesThe Bedouin wear long clothes that absorb the hot sun’s rays and allow cool air to circulate. Men wear a cloth wrapped around their heads to protect them against the sun and sand. Women wear colourful dresses. They use head covers and sometimes cover their faces.
HospitalityGuests are very important and can stay in a Bedouin home for three days. They are always welcome because they bring news from the outside world.
Modern lifeMany Bedouin people today live a modern life. They live in houses and have got mobile phones and TVs. A lot of them don’t wander anymore, but live in one place. However, they often return to their traditional lifestyle for the summer and earn a living showing tourists a typical Bedouin tent!

2 Answer the questions with a classmate.
Space tourismSpace tourism
Some people have travelled all over the world; they
have tried lots of exciting activities. What are they
going to do next?
The new kind of adventure holiday experience is called
space tourism. It’s going to be the most exciting
adventure of all!
There are several companies which are now preparing
space planes, ready to take people for a ride into space.
The tourists will get to see
Earth from inner space and
experience weightlessness.
After about an hour they will
return back to the spaceport
with an amazing, unique
experience to talk about.
Between 2001 and 2009, some people travelled with the
Russian astronauts to the ISS, paying 20 million dollars for their
ticket! The new space $ights will not cost that much, but they
will still be too expensive for most people.
There won’t be any hotels on the Moon or Mars just yet
- they are still a long way into the future. But there are
serious plans for manned trips to Mars. The people who
are volunteering for this journey know that it is going to
be a one-way trip only. If you go to Mars, there won’t be
any rockets to get you home again!

5 Plan a house of the future and complete the table with ideas. Then write a description.
By 2030, families might be
travelling in giant airships
that will hover above popular
destinations. The airships will be
100% environmentally friendly
and will have gardens and !elds
to grow all the food for the
restaurants aboard.
Inside the airship, holidaymakers
will stay in high-tech hotels. The
bathrooms will recycle all the
water and the bedrooms will
have special windows to block
out the sun, so curtains and air-
conditioning won’t be necessary.
Electricity for lights and heating
will be produced by wind and
solar power. You might be
able to travel without leaving a
carbon footprint!
In the future, the airships will be
able to travel around the world
in record times. That means
we might be able to $y from
London to Sydney in ninety
minutes, depending on the
weather. The airships won’t be
able to $y if there is a storm.
These massive airships will also
need massive airports. Some
of the airports will actually be
destinations too, with adventure
parks, entertainment and
shopping centres. Imagine
spending your summer holidays
at Heathrow Airport… you
might in the future!
