Mars is colder than Earth and the Sun ______ from the east. There is a wonderful view of two small moons in the sky at night. There are ______ hours a day on Mars.

I’m looking forward to __________ from you soon.　 Best, Kangkang 　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 rises 25 largest designing hearing look forward to (doing) sth. 期待(做)某事 to为介词 Post- listening Suppose you are Xiaozhe, what about your life on Jupiter ? please write back to Kangkang and share something about Jupiter. Dear Kangkang, I’m so glad to hear from you! Life on Jupiter is different from what I thought! First, Jupiter’s days are only about 10 hours long (super short, right?). And the air here is thick, so we have to stay in sealed domes (no making our own air like you do!). There are 79 moons (I can spot 3 or 4 bright ones at night), and the Great Red Spot (a huge storm) looks like a giant, swirling orange eye in the sky. Oh, and gravity here is strong—I feel twice as heavy as I did on Earth, so walking around feels like carrying a backpack full of books! Yesterday, I visited a research station that studies Jupiter’s storms. We got to watch lightning flashes that are 100 times brighter than Earth’s—totally mind-blowing. Your Mars adventures sound cool too! I can’t wait to hear more about your National Park trip. Looking forward to your next message! Best, Xiaozhe　　　　　 　 Activity 2 Group work. Choose one planet your group wants to visit and list the reasons why you want to visit it, and then report to the class. Mercury ∙ the smallest planet in the solar system ∙ the closest planet to the sun Venus ∙ the second brightest planet in the solar system ∙ the hottest planet Activity 2 Report the group discussion to the class. TIPS You can use expressions like “Really?” “How interesting!” “Wow!”, etc. to show your attitide in conversation. You may begin like this: Our group wants to visit Mercury one day. It is the smallest planet in the solar system. And the closest planet to the sun. Our group and I will take a rocket to get there. How cool is that! Though people there are very different from us, we get along well with the natives. This must be an unforgettable experience for us! Earth and its neighbors Reading for Writing Activity 1 Color the Sun, Earth and Mars. Activity 1 Pair work. Talk about Earth’s other neighbors you know. Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite.

So it is much hotter than Earth. And the average temperature on Venus is around 460℃. The temperature on Earth is neither too hot nor too cold. It is about 14℃ on average. There is much water on Earth while there is no water on Venus. So no living things can survive on Venus. Now humans are still exploring the Venus to know more about it.
