b. Answer the questions.
1. Who is Pham Tuan and who is Christer Fuglesang?

- Pham Tuan is Viet Nam's first astronaut, and Christer Fuglesang is Sweden's
first astronaut.

2. What did Fuglesang think when he looked at Earth from space?
- He found that Earth didn't look as big as he thought, no boundaries on Earth
could be seen from space we should cooperate to take care of it.

3. Do you think Pham Tuan enjoyed the food aboard the spacecraft?
Why/Why not?
- It seemed he didn't enjoy it much since it wasn't fresh.

4. How did Pham Tuan's family help him while he was in space?
- They talked to him when he was in space and that made him happy.

5. What do the two astronauts think about the chance to fly into space?
- They think the chance to fly to space is equal for everyone.

6. What skills does Fuglesang think are important for an astronaut?

- He thinks teamwork, social skills, and foreign languages are important for an
astronaut.

In my opinion, I think an astronaut needs some
following qualities and skills. Firstly, they must
have good health, otherwise, they cannot survive
in space. Secondly, they have to possess deep
knowledge about engineering and the spaceship
system so that they can solve any emergency in
the spaceship. Last but not least, cooperating skills
hold no less importance in working as an astronaut
because only one astronaut cannot finish a trip
into space, he/she have to know how to work
together with other members of the crew to
succeed in finishing their mission.

One crew member feels extremely homesick.
She/He can make phone calls to family and friends on
Earth.
She/He can exercise, read a book, listen to music, or
play some games.
Other crew members can talk to her/ him, or together
they can do something fun in their free time, for
example having a 'space party'.
When looking at the monitoring system you discover a
strange object approaching Earth.
The crew can contact the Mission Control Centre for
help.
They can start watching the object, record its
movements, and report back to Earth.
