　　III. Leading in

　　Show some pictures that introduce the sun, the moon, the earth, space, spaceship, satellite, universe, etc.

　　Ask the students to look at the pictures and say: Look, this is a satellite. Today we are going to read about it. The title of the passage is “The Universe and Man - made satellite”. Watch the video about satellite and speak out what a satellite is.

　　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.
