The students' spirits were high, complementing the nice weather, and good humor was plentiful. Knowing that the weather forecast for the week was favorable, Don and I decided to begin production the following day. Later thai evening, over dinner, we discussed last minute concerns about the video, easing my anxieties.

Day Two.

WHAT WAS THE WORLD LIKE?

We have become used to all types of modern devices which make life

easier for us such as cellular phones, computers, satellite dishes. But, how did

our grand parents visualize their world? Let's look at some news published

many years ago:

APRIL 1919

An express train could travel the

240,GOO-mile distance to the moon in six

months, but the Earth's gravitational force presents an unsurmountable obstacle to lunar travel. H u g e guns, sky rockets, dynamite,

nitroglycerine and TNT have all been rejected

as possible w a y s to generate the 414,000

horsepower required to fly to the moon.

COMMENT: Perhaps you know that the Apollo 11 rocket which carried

the first men to the moon in 1969 was powered by a

combination of liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and

kerosene. In modern times, you and all your friends of the

same age know that:

Jupiter has been photographed.

The pictures have been sent back to Earth.

They have been studied exhaustively.

i'eici: i

What do these numbers refer to?

Write the sentences from the text on the lines.

240,000

414,000

1969

Task 2

According to the text circle the two sentences below that do not give true information.

Underline the sentences which give true information.

1 The distance to the moon is more than 200,000 miies

2 Cellular phones and computers make life more difficult for us

3 Dynamite can not be used as fuel to go to the moon

4 Our grandparents visualized the world exactly the same as we do now

5 Man landed on the moon before 1970

• Working in pairs find, out about the first landing on the moon:

a

a Date

b Names of astronauts who were involved in the mission

c Famous words expressed upon landing

d Name of the President of the United States in those days
