Writing
Unit 6 Space and beyond
To know what life is like on board a spacecraft by reading
To write a journal entry about living in space
Learning objectives
Read the passage and find out astronauts' everyday tasks.
In space, even the most straightforward, everyday tasks can be quite difficult for astronauts who are spending months on board a spacecraft. In this zero gravity world, there is no up or down, and while sleeping on the ceiling might sound like fun, astronauts need to be strapped to sleeping compartments to protect themselves from injury.
Although not many people enjoy doing housework, astronauts need to find the self-discipline to keep the small interior of their spacecraft clean; even using a vacuum cleaner to stop dust from getting into the air filters. A vacuum cleaner also comes in handy for fetching items that are floating around out-of-reach!
Astronauts also need to keep themselves clean. To do this, they use special soap and shampoo which do not need to be rinsed off with water. After brushing their teeth, they spit into a towel.

Activity 1
With no gravity to push against, astronauts’ bones and muscles can become weak. In order to stay fit, astronauts have to exercise on a regular basis.
And while some food items, such as cakes and fruit can be eaten in more or less the same way that they are on Earth, water needs to be added to much of the food that is eaten in space. Nonetheless, a menu for a hungry astronaut can still be varied and balanced, often including soup, prawn sandwiches, as well as fruit yogurt. And as salt and pepper would simply float away, astronauts are provided with these in liquid form.
Carrying out these everyday tasks effectively helps the astronauts stay healthy and focus on their work in space — after all, imagine what would happen if they caught a cold and started to sneeze!

Activity 1
Answer the following questions according to the passage.
1. What is the main reason why everyday tasks are less simple in space
Everyday tasks are less simple mainly because of the zero gravity in space.
2. Why is it important for astronauts to exercise regularly
It’s important for astronauts to exercise regularly because with no gravity to push against, astronauts’ bones and muscles can become weak in space. Exercising regularly can help them stay fit.

Activity 2
Answer the following questions according the passage.
3. What else do you know about life on a spacecraft
Communication with mission control centers on Earth allows astronauts to stay connected with their families and receive updates about their mission progress. They also engage in scientific experiments, maintenance tasks, and even leisure activities like reading or watching movies during their free time.
Activity 3
Imagine you have spent 24 hours on board a spacecraft. Use the notes to organise your journal entry.

Part 3 Summary
Life in space can be different from that on the earth
have lunch - work - exercise - perform experiment
untie the strap - brush teeth - wash face - have breakfast - work on project - clean room - exercise
meeting with colleagues - tied the strap - call family - fall asleep
express how you felt and your opinion about life in space
Writing sample
There being no gravity, the life in space can be varied from that on the earth. The most straightforward daily tasks on the earth can be very difficult in space.
In space, I enjoyed an unbelievable day. After getting up, I began to brush my teeth, spit into a towel and washed my face with special soap. Next I started to have breakfast, which consisted of some bread and a bag of milk. I had to fetch a straw to drink the milk, otherwise it would float around in the spacecraft. Having worked for two hours, I needed to work out for some time to keep my muscles strong. I tied my feet to a special machine so that I wouldn’t float away. I had Mapo beancurd and fish-flavored pork for lunch. When it was time to go to bed, I went into a small cupboard, got into a sleeping bag and tied it to the wall of the sleeping compartment. I think I must look like a big sausage. It is so funny, isn’t it
Living in space is rather difficult but fun. I enjoy observing the vast space very much. While observing it, I can’t help thinking of the greatness of humanity and the tininess of myself.
