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.
At8:3Q A.M., the four-man video crew -two cameramen, a sound man, and a grip (the person who handles the equipment) -arrived at the Southeast Lighthouse, -r The crew, under Don's direction, began f i l m i n g our beautiful surrounding landscape of flora, fauna, jagged bluffs, and the \ lighthouse in the distance.

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

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
