Production could; might; must; shall; would… I couldn’t believe it when I looked into the Martian sky, which was dark yellowish-brown for plenty of dust remained in the atmosphere. In the distance stood an active volcano whose next eruption might be a few years later. What impressed me most was Zhurong 4th, which could travel faster and farther and would continue travelling south. Never in my dream could I imagine that plants were growing there, with reddish-orange flowers like thistles (蓟). Never shall I forget that day! You should see it with you own eyes! Take it in turns to draw a picture of space exploration and ask your partner to tell a story based on it. Production Organise ideas in a logical way. Use modals where appropriate. Thank you!

Lead-in The Fermi Paradox: according to some calculations, there should be many other civilizations out there, but there is no evidence of these at all. No spacecraft, no radio transmissions, nothing. So, as Fermi said, "Where is everybody?" Discussion programme: Science, fact or fiction? Activity 1 Listen to the interview and choose the questions discussed. 1. Is there life on other planets? 2. What would life on other planets look like? 3. Should we use robots to explore space? 4.

Sophie, can I start with you on a favourite topic for science fiction authors? Is there life on other planets? Sophie: I think there definitely is. There must be millions and millions of planets like our Earth out there. And on some of them there will be forms of life, maybe similar to our own. Interviewer: Eric? Eric: As a scientist, I can't agree with Sophie here. Statistically, you would think it likely that there are forms of life somewhere. But that's without considering the Fermi Paradox.

Interviewer: Well, let's assume life is out there. What would this life look like? Sophie: Since conditions on other planets won't be like those on Earth, it isn’t reasonable to think that they will be like us at all. For example, on an ocean planet, they could look like fish. It has even been suggested that on a cloud planet they could look like balloons. Interviewer: What do you think, Eric? Eric: Well, there's evidence that evolution would work the same way everywhere, so it's actually quite likely that life on other planets would in many ways look like us. Possibly they’re smarter and more advanced. Activity 2 Listen again and complete the table. Q2 What would life on other planets look like?

It would be wonderful if we could see what they look like. Will humans one day travel to make contact with them? Eric: No, I'm afraid not. This only exists in the imagination of science fiction writers. The fact that we cannot travel faster than light, 300,000 kilometres a second, means that it will take more than a lifetime to reach planets where there might be life. Interviewer: What’s your opinion, Sophie? Sophie: I take your point, but maybe we won't need to travel in straight lines. Perhaps we will be able to take short cuts, through a “wormhole” in space, for example. The fact is the imagination of science fiction writers has often pointed the way to the future. Just think of all the predictions about space travel made by Arthur C. Clarke. Activity 2 Listen again and complete the table. Q3 Will people ever make contact with life on other planets?

Activity 4 A space camp provides a hands-on educational experience for young people interested in space exploration, covering STEM subjects, astronaut training, teamwork skills and career opportunities. Space Camp Activity 4 Work in pairs. Read the passage and answer the questions. The dramatic scientific developments of recent years have brought space exploration back to public attention. As getting into space is however, still not an easy task, more and more space camps and other places are providing simulated space adventures. The Space Camp, founded in 1982 under NASA, is an educational camp, where children can learn about space travel and astronomy, and even have the chance to have lunch with an astronaut! So far, the camp has inspired hundreds of thousands of young people from the US and from elsewhere around the world. What's more, some of its ex-students have even grown up to become astronauts! 1.
