Using language
Unit 6 Space and beyond
Learning objectives
1. To learn to use opinions and hopes by listening to the listening about life on other planets;
2. To use words and expressions about space exploration.
The Fermi Paradox: according to some calculations, there should be many other civilisations out there, but there is no evidence of these at all. No spacecraft, no radio transmissions, nothing. So, as Fermi said, “Where is everybody ”
Did you know
Listening & speaking
Background Information: The Fermi Paradox
“Where is everybody ” That was the famous question asked by Nobel physicist Enrico Fermi one day in 1950 as he was having lunch with his colleagues. By “everybody”, Fermi did not mean some absent lunch guests — he meant life on other planets. That is why his question, now known as the Fermi Paradox, is famous. The paradox is this: our galaxy, the Milky Way, has billions of stars. Even if the evolution of intelligent life is extremely unlikely, the galaxy should still have many other advanced civilisations. Yet there is no evidence whatsoever of any intelligent life in the galaxy apart from us. So, where are all the aliens that should be out there
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 What is the Fermi Paradox
5 Will people ever make contact with life on other planets
Activity 2 Listen again and complete the table.

The passage is about the Space Camp.
Activity 4 Work in pairs. Read the passage and answer the questions.
1. What is the passage mainly about
2. Would you like to take part in a space camp Why or why not
Activity 5 Read the advertisement for the space camp and find out what students can do there.
Vocabulary building
What students can do there:
At the observatory, you can learn about astronomy and take in a lunar eclipse. You will also have the chance to design and launch a model rocket. Then in modern flight simulators, you could put on a spacesuit, exit the capsule and go on your incredibly lifelike spacewalk in a world with zero gravity.

Dear Ted,
Remember when I told you I’d signed up for the space programme Well I just got back from a week of simulated manned flight activities, and it was awesome!

spacesuit
a world with zero gravity
It’s strange to float around like that — in fact, a lot of people get ___________! Luckily, I felt fine. Then I returned to the __________ and travelled to the “Moon” for some lunar exploration. You should join the programme too — you’d love it!
