After watching, let the students discuss the questions for a while. Get them to give the explanations in English.
For instance: A satellite goes round the earth. The moon is a satellite of the earth. There are many man-made satellites in the space too. Then explain that man-made is an adjective meaning made by people. “Man” in this text means “the human race”.
IV. Reading
Get the students to look at the questions below:
What do we mean when we talk about the universe?
Why can’t many stars be seen?
How far is the moon away from the earth?
Has the moon been visited by man already?
Have any man-made machines travelled farther than the moon? What are they?
What do you know about the universe?
Why do we say the world itself is becoming smaller and smaller?
Read the passage carefully and discuss the answers in pairs. Finally check the answers with the whole class.
Give the students some more background information about spaceships without people: Some spaceships have been sent to visit different planets, such as Mars, Venus and Jupiter.
Ask the students to write down the answers in the exercise books. The suggested answer to the last question is: With the help of the man-made satellites, it is easy for different countries to send and receive messages. We can also use satellites to help us make telephone calls to foreign countries.
V. Practice
Play Speech Cassette or video for the students to listen or watch. For the second time, let the students repeat after it, at last, the students can read the passage at the same time while playing the sounds.
Give the students some free time to practice reading aloud. Then ask some of them to read in class. Check their reading. Explain:
