Time for presentation
A: You know, I think being an astronaut would be cool.
B: Do you want to work in space in the future
A: I'm not sure, but I think it might be too difficult for me. There are so many requirements. First of all, you must be intelligent enough to get a related college degree. Then you have to be a pilot with years of training and practise flying. Finally, you must be really physically and mentallyfit.
B: So what might be the most difficult part for you
A: I guess it might be the space travel itself. I'm sure being weightless(失重 的) must be fun, and it would be wonderful to see the Earth and stars from space . But the spacesuit and capsule (太空舱) look terribly small and uncomfortable. It would be hard to stay in such a small space for so long. Also, there's no privacy(隐私) at all. What if I have to go to the restroom
B:I see what you mean.
