approprlate powerful NASA
1. Five teenagers are discussing the possibility of other life forms in our galaxy. Read the comments they have posted on an online forum.
@ Duong: There might not be life on Mercury 'cause it's too close to the Sun so it would be too hot to live there. And it moves very fast, so the daytime would be too short. At least, humans couldn't stand such short days.
@ Nhi: I agree. I also think to be able to live on a planet, we need Water, appropriate temperatures, and breathable air at the very least. But whether the planet travels fast or not is unimportant.
@ Duc: You are right. Do you know NASA has found two new planets, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f, which are very similar to Earth? I believe life may be possible there… How about on Jupiter or Venus?
@ Trang: I imagine Jupiter is a powerful planet because Jupiter is the God of thunder and lightning. The planet is not too close to the Sun, so it's not too hot, and life may be possible there. People there may feel very proud of the power of the planet.
@ Trang and Anh: So Venus may be a good place for lovers. Actually, it's nearer to the Earth, so it may be easier to travel there.
2. Work in groups to decide if you agree or disagree with each of the opinions and ideas in 1. Say why or why not.
Example:
- I'm not sure if I agree with Anh because the name of the planet doesn't tell us anything about the living conditions.
- I totally agree with Duc because …
- I partly agree with Trang because …
3a. Work in pairs. Imagine you are going into space. Decide together what you will take with you. You can add any item you think necessary. Remember to give reasons.
Example:
A: I will wear a spacesuit because it may be very cold there and I won't be able to breathe.
B: I will bring hand washing gel to clean my hands.
b. Report your decisions to another pair or to the class.
