师:Alright, good morning, everyone. Thank you for remembering my name. It's my honor to have you here this wonderful morning. I believe we'll have a great time. Do you think so? Okay, good.
Today, we're going to talk about life in the future. First, take a look at a picture. Can anyone describe this picture in one sentence? Who wants to try? How about Miss Hong?
生:Many people are on the earth, only the earth, right?
师:Okay, thank you. Yes, there are so many people on the earth. If the world's population keeps growing, maybe one day the earth will be this crowded, right? There's a great possibility that we'll have to move and find another place to live. This place may be outer space because there's a large amount of room there.
Today, to help you prepare for future life, I've prepared a pop quiz to test if you have enough knowledge to live in space. Are you ready? Okay, good. If you know the answer, don't be shy to raise your hand.
Let's look at the first question. Where do astronauts sleep in space? Any volunteer to take a guess? Where do astronauts sleep in space? Our boy, Mister Lee, what's your guess?
生:In a rule with soft words, right?
师:Okay, thank you. Please sit down. Let's see if he's right. Sorry, the answer is B, in the bags. Look at this picture. Actually, astronauts sleep in bags that attach to the walls. Otherwise, they'll just float around, bump into something, and get hurt.
Question No. 2, how do astronauts dispose of their waste? In the space station, “dispose” means deal with, and “waste” is what we also call human waste. What's your answer? What's your guess, Mister Hong?
生:I think they collect and bring it back to the earth.
师:Okay, so he made his choice. Let's take a look. Yes. Good job. Thank you. You know everything, right? Actually, it's our duty to keep the environment clean.
Third question, a little bit difficult. Can you guess how long it takes to get from the earth to Mars by spaceship? I'll give you three options: A. less than one year, B. two years, C. 10 years. Take a guess.
生:(一位男生)I choose C. 10 years.
师:Okay. I'm not going to give you the answer right now. You have to find out yourself in a video. Now, we want to know how long it takes to get to Mars. Well, hardly anyone would embark on a 300 - year - long journey to Mars and expect to get there full of youthful energy. No, in fact, the journey to Mars takes only eight months. Have you got the answer? 8 months, right? It's very close to option A. Just remember this.
Okay, now you've all passed the test, and it's time to move on. We're going to follow a boy to a very big space station. Now, for Exercise 1, find out the three places the writer went to. Before we do that, I think there are some new words that you may find difficult to pronounce. So I'll lead you to read these new words.
efficient, principle, dispose, ecology, manufacturing, representative, sensitive. Representative again, please. Okay, good job. Now, you have two minutes to find out the three places. Let's go.
Alright, time is up. Now I'd like to ask a student to share your answer with us. How about Mr Wang?
生:Post Office. And the next one is waste disposal area. And the third one is factory.
师:Let's take a look. Yes, good job. Thank you. Now let's move on to our next task in the passage. The boy also mentioned a lot of inventions, right? We're going to find out the names of the inventions, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Look at Exercise 2 on your handouts. You have seven minutes to fill the chart. Here we go.
