February Week One


This week we turned to the recent achiements of the James Webb spaceship to talk about the topic of space and space exploration.

Listening:
Learners can try an exercise from Breaking News English about Space Exploration or What is Space Junk?

For original version listening listen to these podcasts about the James Webb Telescope: The James Webb Telescope, and The James Webb Time Machine.

Reading:

Learners
 can try an article from VOA English called Major Space Missions planned for 2022.

For original version, check out some articles from Vox's Unexplainable Series:The largest space telescope in history is about to blow our minds orThe quest to avert an asteroid apocalypse is going surprisingly well.
 
Writing:
Consider one of the following creative writing prompts:
 
  • You just discovered a new planet. Imagine you are an astronaut, and you just crash-landed on a secret planet in the solar system. Describe this planet in great detail. Think about the climate, atmosphere, appearance, the sky and so on.
  • Write a series of journal entries about travelling to Mars. You and your family have been selected to live on Mars for a few months, as a trial run for the government. Write a series of journal entries as you travel to Mars in a rocket. Think about the food you’re eating. How do you keep yourself entertained in the spaceship? And even how you go to the bathroom, or have a shower in a rocket. 

Best,
Kelly
