Listen for the requirements
Interviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr. Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut. Welcome to the show, Mr. Yang.
Mr Yang: Thank you.
Interviewer: Mr. Yang, our audience is very curious about how you succeeded in becoming China’s first astronaut. It must have been a very difficult thing to achieve. Did you always want to be an astronaut
Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It took a long time. First, I got my college degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a fighter pilot for around 10 years.

I finally became China's first astronaut when I was 38 years old.
Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons why you were chosen for the space programme
Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me.
Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme
Mr Yang:There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to train for space flights.
Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also have to be a certain size and weight
Mr Yang:Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape.
Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know, an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right
Mr Yang:Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have the opportunity.
1. We know it is extremely difficult to be an astronaut, but why are there still many people are making efforts to be an astronaut

EXAMPLE:
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 …

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 fit.
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 must be fun, and it would be wonderful to see the Earth and stars form space. But the spacesuit and capsule look terribly small and uncomfortable. It would be hard to stay in such a small space for so long. Also, there's no privacy at all. What if I have to go to the restroom
Pronunciation
Gravity
One day, Isaac Newton sat
and saw an apple fall.
Then he thought, “It’s not just fruit!
Something pulls us all.”
“There is a force,” he said to himself, “That pulls things to the ground
not only apples, but all of us
stay still though Earth spins round.”
Of course, we know that this is true!
Earth goes around but we stay still.
What goes up must come down,
and it always will.
Mark the stressed syllables with and unstressed syllables. Read it to each other!
