So I watched all my instruments and stayed calm. R: What surprised you? Y: The beauty of space. I’d never realized how lovely the earth looks till I was going round it. Part2 R: Did you always want to be an astronaut? Y: Well, I dreamed of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It all happened gradually.

Thank you for taking to us. Y: It was my pleasure. Listening task on page 65 Before listening discuss in pairs what you know of the pro
