Unit 6 Beyond Earth
Lesson 7 Section B 3a–3c
1. Free talk
(1) Why do you think space is so attractive to humans
　 Space exploration drives great technological progress.
It represents the human spirit of exploration.
(2) Can you predict what would be China’s next move
It will be advancing lunar exploration and preparing for
the crewed lunar landing. Or maybe China will collect
more lunar samples and test key technologies for
building a basic lunar research station.
2. Discuss the ideas about space. Which interests you the most and why
build a research station on the moon
send a spacecraft to the nearest star system
search for life in the solar system
build a satellite to collect the sun’s energy and send it to Earth
...
3. Discuss and share.
Build a research station
on the moon
Send a spacecraft to the
nearest star system
Search for life in the
solar system
Build a satellite to collect
the sun’s energy and send
it to Earth
The moon is really close
to Earth.
It has resources like the
ice water.
...
It would teach us so much
about deep space.
It pushes us to develop
faster engines and smarter
robots.
...
If we could find life, it
would mean we are not
alone.
It may teach us more
about how life started
here.
...
This could solve our
energy problems and
help reduce pollution
from fossil fuels.
...
4. Talk about your own space dream.
From what aspects can we talk about our space dream
My Space

5. Read about one teenager’s space dream. Then answer the questions.
What does the passage mainly
talk about

6. Read again and complete the chart.
A research station will be built on the moon.
It’ll be a good place for scientists to cooperate
and do space research together.
More resources will be found.
People may live and work there.
Practice
7. Read Paragraphs 2–4 and find out how the writer develops his points.
opinion + explanation
Point: Space exploration greatly improves modern technology.
Development: Scientists can invent and test new tools through space research.
These new inventions will also make our daily life easier and safer
for human life on Earth.

8. Read Paragraph 5 and underline the writer’s hopes.
Why does the writer rephrase his hopes at the end of his article
The research station on the moon will be built in the near future.
It will happen during my lifetime.
To stress the importance and urgency of his dream.
If you were to write about your space dream, what else can you write at the end
Maybe what I can do to help realize the dream.
9. Write your own space dream.
(1) Brainstorm and share.
What should you include in your article
My Space
Dream
what my dream is
what benefits it can bring
what I can do to help
when I hope it will happen
9. Write your own space dream.
(1) Brainstorm and share.
What is your space dream
e.g. My dream is that a space station will be built on Mars soon.
What benefits does it have when your dream is realized
e.g. First, scientists can analyze the rocks on Mars to study its formation. Besides,
it serves as a testbed for technologies needed for other planets.
As a junior high school student, what can you do to help realize the dream
e.g. I should try my best to master space-related subjects. I also plan to translate
knowledge into action.

What
How
Why
I have always dreamed of space exploration. I believe
humans will build a long-term base on Mars in 50 years.
It will be a big breakthrough.
The Mars base will be very valuable. Mars’ soil and air
will be studied by scientists to look for life and understand
planets.
Important space technologies will also be tested in the
hard environment on Mars.
Besides, space exploration improves technology on
Earth and helps our daily life.
To make my dream come true, I will study hard and learn
practical skills. I hope to work in space exploration and
carry on the spirit of exploring the universe.
