Hello everyone, how are you today?
2
Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
3
I'm Brian Stewart.
4
We're looking at lesson 7 now, right?
5
Let's ride into space.
6
So the next few lessons, we're going to be talking about space, right?
7
Space, outer space, where aliens and different planets are, right?
8
Well, maybe aliens.
9
In this lesson, we're going to focus on, let's learn about the first American woman to go into space.
10
Who was the first American woman to go into space?
11
We'll find out in this lesson.
12
Let's start first, though, with what do astronauts do in space, okay?
13
We're talking about the first woman astronaut, but first of all, what is an astronaut?
14
An astronaut is somebody who goes into space.
15
What do they do in space?
16
We can see a couple of pictures here.
17
This astronaut here is next to a satellite.
18
Right?
19
So this astronaut is putting a satellite in space
20
and that's what that astronaut is doing there.
21
Let me see if I can ...
22
It's very technical like putting a satellite in space.
23
So this astronaut is floating around, kind of looks like a very high -tech teddy bear, give him a hug.
24
But this astronaut is floating in space, he or she is putting a satellite in space.
25
What is this astronaut doing?
26
This is another thing that astronauts do, they explore.
27
They explore new worlds.
28
That's really exciting, isn't it?
29
New worlds.
30
Imagine, there are many new worlds out there in space.
31
And astronauts will go there and they will look around.
32
What's on that world?
33
What's there?
34
Very exciting, very interesting science.
35
So maybe you want to be an astronaut someday.
36
If you are, then some of the jobs that you can do, putting satellites into space, are really exciting exploring new worlds.
37
Okay, let's begin with our vocabulary.
38
Of course, we already talked about this one a little bit.
39
Someone who flies through space, of course, we know that.
40
We just talked about that.
41
It's an astronaut.
42
Now, that's a little difficult to pronounce, maybe.
43
Let's break it down.
44
Astronaut.
45
Astronaut.
46
Okay, so very quickly, astronaut.
47
Astronaut.
48
That is a person who flies through space, right?
49
They're like in an airplane, but they're not going through air, they're going through space, okay?
50
That's the difference between an astronaut and a pilot.
51
A pilot is someone who flies a plane through air, but an astronaut goes into space.
52
That's important to remember for later.
53
Okay, next one.
54
Number two, what's going on?
55
There's many dogs, right?
56
Do you like dogs?
57
Right?
58
There are many dogs here and they are practicing and learning.
59
What are they doing?
60
We can say they are training.
61
Training, to train.
62
To train is to practice and learn something.
63
Now that's interesting.
64
What is the difference between teach, right?
65
Right now I am teaching you guys, right?
66
I am giving you knowledge.
67
Knowledge.
68
So I'm giving you knowledge.
69
I'm teaching you English.
70
But can you teach a dog a language?
71
You can't give a dog knowledge.
72
You have to train the dog.
73
So train, right?
74
Train means to do something, to teach somebody how to do something, right?
75
Like a skill, a skill.
76
When you learn a skill, that is training, okay?
77
Many jobs require different skills.
78
When you learn how to do something, how to do, right?
79
We can put how here, how to do something, then you are training.
80
You are learning a skill.
81
But when you're just learning knowledge.. facts and things like language or math, things like that.
82
That's teaching.
83
So the difference is, right, between training and teaching, is teaching is just giving somebody knowledge,
84
but training is teaching somebody how to do something.
85
Okay, of course, it's very common to say, I'm going to teach my dog some tricks.
86
Yes, many people say that, but really specifically, you're training the dog how to do something.
87
That's very important, especially for people who are learning jobs.
88
If they have to learn a skill for the job, they need training.
89
Let's continue.
90
Number three, we talked about this already.
91
What was the first astronaut doing before?
92
The first astronaut was putting a machine that goes around the Earth into space.
93
We said, what was that?
94
That was a satellite.
95
Satellite.
96
That's a little difficult to pronounce, right?
97
How many sounds?
98
Satellite.
99
Satellite.
100
Satellite.
101
Okay, so very quickly, satellite.
102
A satellite is a machine that goes around the earth.
103
It's a machine.
104
What does it do?
105
Well, most satellites allow us to communicate with each other.
106
Many TV stations use satellites to reach all over the world.
107
When you use your cell phone and you call somebody in another country, you're probably using a satellite.
108
Your signal goes all the way up, boink, and then down to the Earth again.
109
So satellites are very important for our modern life.
110
So a machine that goes around the Earth is a satellite.
111
Let's continue.
112
Number four, something you read to find out news.
113
What is this?
114
Maybe do you read this anymore or do you just go on the internet?
115
That's a good question, right?
116
But you can still find these, right?
117
On the streets, you know, in the subway, you can see places where they sell these.
118
And what are they called, of course?
119
They're called a newspaper.
120
newspaper.
121
Now more and more people are getting their news on the internet, that's true, but there's still something called a newspaper.
122
It's something you read to find out the news.
123
And this is an interesting newspaper, big news.
124
And this guy's very happy or crazy, I don't know.
125
But anyway, it's newspaper.
126
Okay, next one.
127
Five, to read and learn.
128
Now to read and learn, we talked about teaching and training
129
but this is the the opposite side right this is to study
130
when you are being taught something right and afterwards you know you sit
131
and you study you read a book you read
132
and you learn especially by yourself many students study at home homework is a way
133
that you can study by yourself of course you also study in class with a teacher
134
when you read and you learn something.
135
You study.
136
Study something.
137
Number six, a spaceship with wings.
138
Wow, this is really cool, huh?
139
That's a really cool spaceship.
140
That, of course, is called the space shuttle.
141
Space shuttle.
142
And it used to be used by NASA, but NASA doesn't use space shuttles anymore.
143
Too bad.
144
Okay?
145
But anyway, let's practice pronunciation.
146
Space, that's easy.
147
Space.
148
Then the next one, shuttle.
149
Shuttle.
150
So put them together.
151
Space shuttle.
152
A spaceship with wings.
153
It can fly into space.
154
It can also land by itself.
155
Okay.
156
Next one.
157
Seven.
158
A round body that travels around the sun.
159
And of course, they're not so close.
160
That would be very dangerous.
161
But these are round bodies.
162
We know this one, right?
163
That's the one that we live on, right?
164
What is it called?
165
It is called a planet.
166
Of course, our planet is, of course, called the Earth, right?
167
The Earth.
168
But there are many other planets, as you know, around our Sun, right?
169
There's Mercury, Venus, then Earth, Mars.
170
Then we have Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
171
Some people say Pluto, some people say no, Pluto is not a planet.
172
But it's a round body that travels around the sun.
173
That is all of them you can say it is a planet.
174
Okay, next one.
175
8. Traveling through the air.
176
To travel through the air, of course, if you're on an airplane, you are on a flight.
177
There are many flights that you can take every day.
178
There's a flight to America.
179
There's a flight to Australia.
180
There's a flight.. to China, right?
181
So traveling through the air is to take flight.
182
Now that may be a little hard to pronounce, let's practice.
183
Flight.
184
It's one sound, one syllable, flight.
185
But FL, FL, FL, flight.
186
So be careful with the F and the L.
187
FL, and all flight okay good let's continue nine very good right very good your pronunciation
188
so far I hope has been very good it has been
189
wonderful hasn't it wonderful I hope your pronunciation has been wonderful
190
very good guys okay let's continue 10 Wow this is very interesting right the area outside the earth.
191
So of course we talked about the planet, we saw our earth, but anywhere outside, right?
192
Not on the earth, outside the earth there's a lot of what?
193
What do we call it?
194
We call it space.
195
A lot of space outside the earth, right?
196
We're just so very small in our universe.
197
Okay?
198
Space, how do we pronounce it? s -puh, right?
199
Put it together.
200
Space, space, space.
201
Okay, so when we talk about being off the earth or outside the earth, we're talking about space.
202
Okay, next one.
203
Studying and learning about how everything works.
204
So you're studying and you're learning how do things work.
205
So what are you doing?
206
You're studying science.
207
Science is the knowledge about how things work.
208
It's anything.
209
You look at anything.
210
Why is the sky blue?
211
How does this television monitor work?
212
Why do I need to eat three times a day? right?
213
Why?
214
When we study all these things about the world around us,
215
how everything works, that is science and there are many different fields of science.
216
Geology about the earth, chemistry about chemicals, biology about life.
217
There's so many things we want to know about our world then we study science to find the answers.
218
Okay, next one.
219
12. Here's a cute doggie, right?
220
He looks hungry, right?
221
Give me some food.
222
Okay, next one.
223
To be in want of something.
224
To be in want of something, you need it, right?
225
This doggie needs food, okay?
226
If you need knowledge, right?
227
If you want to learn something you need knowledge.
228
If you want to play, you need a toy or a game to be in want.
229
If you want something, then you think that you need it.
230
You don't always need it though, just because you want it.
231
Need is also very important that you need something for life.
232
For example, if the dog doesn't get food, the dog will die.
233
So the dog needs food, it needs water, it needs to play.
234
These are the things we need in life.
235
So want is just a little bit, it's not that important.
236
Yeah, we want things, but then need is more important.
237
Those are the things we need to live.
238
Okay, next one.
239
Thirteen, to choose.
240
To choose means to pick.
241
Pick and choose is the same meaning.
242
To pick, to choose.
243
You You have many sandwiches, different kind of sandwiches.
244
What sandwich do you want?
245
I'll choose this one, a ham and cheese.
246
I'll pick this one.
247
So you pick one thing out of many, to pick something.
248
Number 14, to get new ideas.
249
We're back to these kids, right?
250
Not science now, it's not science, but to get new ideas is to learn.
251
When you study and you learn knowledge, right, you're getting new ideas, you're learning knowledge.
252
You're getting new ideas in your head.
253
So you are learning to learn.
254
Okay, next one, number 15, surrounding something.
255
If you surround something, what do we say?
256
For that, we say it is around something.
257
So, for example, all these people are around the earth.
258
They are around the earth.
259
There are many satellites around the earth.
260
They surround something.
261
There are so many satellites right now around the earth.
262
That's how we can use our cell phones.
263
So around, around, to surround something.
264
And the last one?
265
We have a photograph, right?
266
This is an old style photograph, looks like a Polaroid, right?
267
We say it is a picture.
268
Picture and photograph, same meaning.
269
Take a photograph, take a picture.
270
We say take.
271
Take a photograph.
272
And you can just say take a photo.
273
You don't have to say photograph graph.
274
You can, but we can say just take a photo or take a picture.
275
So, can I take your picture?
276
Right?
277
I got your picture, right?
278
Can I take your picture?
279
Can I take your photo?
280
Same thing.
281
Okay, that was a lot of vocabulary, wasn't it?
282
Wow, so many new words.
283
Let's see how well you remember those words with this exercise here.
284
We're going to use the words from the box to answer each riddle.
285
Remember a riddle, a riddle gives you clues or hints, right?
286
We look at the clue, this will be the clue, or we can also say it's a hint, right?
287
A clue or a hint is something that describes something but it doesn't tell you what it is.
288
It's a clue or a hint, some information that helps you find the answer.
289
Information that helps you find the answer, that's a clue or a hint.
290
And sometimes we can find clues or hints in the questions too.
291
Let's take a look.
292
Anyway, these are our eight words, right?
293
We need to find these words.
294
These words are the answers to each riddle.

309
That's our clue or the hint.
310
I fly through space.
311
Who am I?
312
Who means a person, right?
313
A person.
314
So, which word up here is a person who flies through space? Which one?
315
Well, if we look at these words, we only see one word that describes a person, and that's this word over here astronaut.
316
And what does an astronaut do?
317
An astronaut flies through space.
318
Right?
319
We talked about that.
320
Okay.
321
So of course the answer here, I fly through space.
322
Who am I?
323
An astronaut.
324
I am an astronaut.
325
Remember to say an, an astronaut because of a.
326

329
Number two, I'm a machine.
330
So now we're looking for some type of machine.
331
I'm a machine.
332
I take pictures in space.
333
So a machine that's in space and it goes around the earth, right?
334
What am I?
335
So what is a machine that takes pictures in space and, you know, it goes around the Earth as it takes pictures?
336
Which one is it?
337
Well, of course, we talked about that before.
338
It would be this one over here, right?
339
It would be a satellite.
340
So I'm a machine.
341
A satellite is a machine.
342
I take pictures in space.
343
Satellites take pictures in space.
344
What am I?
345
I'm a satellite.
346
I'm a satellite.
347
Okay, good.
348
Number three.
349
We, so we're talking about more than one.
350
We're talking about plural, right?
351
Not one, but plural.
352
Probably has an S on the end, okay, of the word.
353
We are very large.
354
We go around the sun.
355
Okay, so think about that.
356
Very large things that go around the sun.
357
Which one could it be?
358
Well, do satellites go around the Sun?
359
No, satellites go around the Earth.
360
They go around the Sun, but they go around the Earth.
361
The Earth goes around the Sun.
362
But the Earth, what is the Earth?
363
The Earth is one of these things.
364
The Earth is a planet, isn't it?
365
And as I said before, there are many planets.
366
So planet is the word we're looking for.
367
And there's our S, right?
368
S. We, plural.
369
Okay.
370
So what are we?
371

Do you like to fly?
381
I'm in the act.
382

396
That's an interesting clue.
397
What is that about?
398
You have much to learn, so what must you get?
399
You're not ready.
400
Maybe you're not ready to do something.
401
Maybe you're not ready to perform some type of skill.
402
You're not ready yet because you have much to learn still.
403
You still have a lot to learn.
404
You still need to know some things and to practice doing some things.
405
What must you get?
406
What must you get?
407
Well, if we take a look at this, you must get more training, right?
408
So if you're not ready to do something yet, for example, you're not ready to go scuba diving.
409
You're not ready to go hang gliding cool, right?
410
You're not ready to go mountain climbing yet.
411
You still need to learn more things about these things.
412
So what must you get?
413
You must get more training.
414
When you get more training, then you can do those things.
415
Okay, next one.
416

So if you want to know what's new in the world, what happened yesterday or even this morning, right?
434
You have to read something to find out.
435
What am I?
436
Of course we know that, right?
437
If you read something that has news in it, right, the story about what happened, then we're looking for the newspaper.
438
We read the paper, it gives us the news.
439
It is newspaper.
440
What am I?
441
I am a newspaper.
442

Okay, next one, number seven.
445
I can take you to space.
446
Wow, really?
447
That's cool.
448
I have wings.
449
Okay, what?
450
So we're looking for an object, right?
451
What am I?
452
Even though it says I, we're imagining that the object can talk.
453
Many riddles do this, okay?
454
It's a common technique of riddles.
455
So what am I?
456
I can take you to space and I have wings.
457
So what can take us to space?
458
What has wings?
459
Aha, over here, space shuttle.
460
The space shuttle can fly us into space.
461
The space shuttle has wings.
462
So the answer is the space shuttle.
463
Space shuttle.
464
That is the answer.
465
I am a space shuttle.
466
Okay, eight.
467
Sally is very smart.
468
Good for Sally, right?
469
What did she do in school?
470
What did she do in school to get so smart?
471

472
What did she do?
473
What should you do if you want to be smart, right?
474
What should you do?
475

477
If you want to be smart, you should study.
478
And you will be smart like Sally.
479
Okay?
480
Okay, well that wraps it up for the vocabulary section of this lecture.
481
Let's take a short break.
482
We'll come back and take a look at the reading.
483
Don't go away.
484
Welcome back after the break.
485
Are you ready to learn about America's first woman astronaut?
486
That's what the reading passage is about.
487
But you know...
488
It's also about something else.
489
It's about following your dream and working hard.
490
Let's take a look.
491
As a child, Sally Ride wanted to be an astronaut.
492
It was her dream to fly through space.
493
So, we can see in these two sentences, they're talking about a childhood dream of Sally Ride.
494
This is Sally Ride here.
495
Now, as a child, she wanted to be an astronaut.
496
What do you want to be when you grow up?
497
Many of you have different answers.
498
Some people might say doctor or lawyer or maybe even astronaut.
499
Do any of you want to be an astronaut?
500
That is your dream.
501
It was her dream to fly through space.
502
Fly through space, that's what astronauts do.
503
Astronauts fly through space.
504
Do you dream that maybe one day you can fly through space?
505
Maybe your dream is to be an astronaut.
506
That's what we're talking about here.
507
Sally Ride, her dream was to be an astronaut.
508
However, However, there was just one problem.
509
There was a problem that maybe was hard for her about her dream.
510
She wanted to be an astronaut but there was a problem.
511
What was the problem?
512
At that time, at that time, this is a long time ago, you can see Sally Ride, her hairstyle is a bit old fashioned.
513
This is several decades ago, right?
514
But at that time all the astronauts in America were men.
515
All of them were men.
516
No women.
517
So Sally Ride was like, what do you say?
518
Right?
519
She was, how can I be an astronaut?
520
All the astronauts are men.
521
I'm a woman or I will be a woman.
522
Did she give up?
523
No, she didn't give up.
524
And that's good right?
525
So when Sally grew up, as she grew up, she studied science.
526
She didn't get rid of her dream.
527
She thought, okay, I'm a woman, so what?
528
I will still be an astronaut.
529
So she studied science.
530
Astronauts need to know a lot of science for their job.
531
So she studied science.
532
She wanted to learn all about outer space.
533
We talked about space before.
534
Space is the area outside the Earth.
535
We say outer space because really there's two kinds of space, right?
536
There's space in this room, right?
537
Space in this room is room.
538
I can move around.
539
There's a lot of space.
540
But when I say outer space, I mean outside the Earth, right?
541
Away from the Earth and, you know, different planets, different stars, different galaxies, right?
542
Very interesting stuff.
543
She wanted to learn all about outer space.
544
That's the area of science that she studied, okay?
545
Before I said there are many different areas in science, she studied about outer space.
546
She studied the planets like Earth, Sally also learned about the stars.
547
So when she studied about outer space, she studied about the planets, about Venus, about Mars, about Mercury.
548
She also studied about the stars, not just the sun, which is our star, but many other stars in outer space.
549
She studied about those things.
550
Then something wonderful happened.
551
Something wonderful happened.
552
Something great.
553
너무 너무 좋아요.
554
Right?
555
Sally read in the newspaper that new astronauts were needed.
556
So the government needed new astronauts.
557
They wanted to choose or to get new astronauts.
558
So they put an article in the newspaper,
559
and that's where Sally read in the newspaper about that need.
560
The government needs new astronauts.
561
They put an article in the newspaper.
562
Sally read the article in the newspaper.
563
Okay.
564
So what did she do?
565
She read the newspaper, then she wrote a letter and was picked.
566
Was picked, right?
567
She was picked.
568
Who picked her?
569
NASA picked her, right?
570
NASA.
571
NASA picked Sally.
572
That's great, right?
573
But that's what it means. Was picked.
574
Who picked her?
575
It doesn't say because that's passive, right?
576
This is the answer.
577
NASA picked her.
578
That's active voice.
579
NASA picked Sally.
580
She was picked.
581
Okay, so NASA chose Sally to be a new astronaut.
582
Wonderful.
583
That's even more wonderful, right?
584
It's not easy to be an astronaut.
585
She was picked to be an astronaut, but remember, it's not easy to be an astronaut.
586
It's, of course, means it is.
587
And it, when we're talking about some situation, it's very common.
588
For example, it's not easy to study.
589
I'm sorry, it's true.
590
It's not easy to study.
591
It's not easy to climb a mountain, right?
592
It's not easy to be an astronaut.
593
This is a very common expression.
594
It is not easy to do something.
595
It means it's difficult, 힘들어, right?
596
It's hard, okay.
597
Sally knew it would be hard work.
598
Hard work, right?
599
You have to put a lot of effort into the work, right?
600
It's hard work to do something.
601
She had many weeks of training.
602
Training because she needs skills.
603
Astronauts need to know how to do many things.
604
They need many skills.
605
They do a lot of training.
606
During training, during the training, while the training was going on, during training, Sally learned about the space shuttle.
607
So part of her training is to learn about the space shuttle, how it works, what to do.
608
She also learned what to do, training, during the flight into space.
609
So when she flew into space, she also learned what to do.
610
Look at this picture.
611
Is she laying down?
612
No. In outer space there's no gravity.
613
No gravity.
614
No gravity.
615
No gravity.
616
V -I -T -Y.
617
No gravity, that means I'd float away, right?
618
There's gravity keeping me down right now.
619
Otherwise, if there's no gravity, I would just float up into the air.
620
That's what she's doing.
621
She's kind of floating.
622
See, she's here like this and another person is kind of going like that, right?
623
Looks like he's going up, but there's no gravity, right?
624
So, she's flying into space.
625
She learned what to do during the flight in space, okay? At last.
626
At last means finally.
627
At the finish, okay?
628
At the finish, at last.
629
Sally finished her training and was ready.
630
So at last, finally, she finished her training, then she's ready.
631
She flew on the space shuttle Challenger.
632
The space shuttle's name, this is the name of the space shuttle.
633
Every space shuttle had a different name.
634
There were several, many space shuttles, and the name of her space shuttle was the Challenger.
635
That was her first space shuttle.
636
While in space, she helped put out satellites.
637
Remember that picture we saw way back at the beginning of this lesson when I said, what do astronauts do?
638
They put satellites into space.
639
That's what she was doing.
640
Maybe that was her in the picture.
641
We're not sure because she was wearing that suit, right?
642
She helped put out satellites.
643
These machines, these machines, these machines refers back to satellites.
644
Satellites go around the earth and take pictures.
645
Satellites go around the earth and take pictures.
646
Sally became the first American woman to go into space.
647
She didn't give up her dream.
648
She did not give up.
649
Remember at the beginning she said there was a problem.
650
All the astronauts in America were men.
651
She didn't give up.
652
She studied science.
653
She trained hard.
654
So she became the first American woman to go into space.
655
Many people think she is special because of this.
656
So many people think, oh wow, she's special.
657
She's the first woman.
658
Yay, great, really good. But, but...
659
All Sally cares about is that her dream came true.
660
She doesn't care about being special.
661
She doesn't think, oh, it's great, you know, the first woman in space.
662
She doesn't care about that.
663
What's more important to her,
664
what is more important, is that her dream came true.
665
More important that her dream came true.
666
That's most important to Sally.
667
She's not worried about, oh, I'm a woman, you know, there's another man.
668
She's not worried about that.
669
She thinks, most importantly, my dream came true.
670
And she didn't let the circumstances stop her from making her dream come true.
671
Make her dream, make your dream,
672
make your dream come true.
673
That's a good expression, right?
674
Make your dream come true, came true.
675
So when your dream is realized, you actually get your dream.
676
Your dream came true.
677
That's the good expression.
678
That's how to say it in English.
679
My dream came true.
680
I hope your dreams come true.
681
Let's move on to the comprehension questions.
682
Again, number one, this story is about.
683
What is the whole story about?
684
If you think about just one subject that describes this entire story, what is it?
685
What are the choices?
686
A, training.
687
B, a little girl.
688
C, science.
689
Or D, a female astronaut.
690
Well, if we think about this story, what was this story about?
691
This story was about Sally Ride, wasn't it?
692
It was about Sally Ride.
693
And why is Sally Ride important? because she was the first American female astronaut.
694
What is that?
695
That looks like number D, right?
696
Letter D.
697
So Sally Ride is a female astronaut.
698
That's what the story is about.
699
Sure, we talked about training a little bit.
700
Sally Ride had to train to become a female astronaut.
701
Sure, she was a little girl at the beginning of the story, but the entire story was not about her childhood it was about her whole life.
702
C, science.
703
Yes, she studied science.
704
The story mentions science, but it was about Sally Ride who studied science in order to become a female astronaut.
705
So this whole story, all of these things are connected to D.
706
The whole story is about D, a female astronaut.
707
That's the answer.
708
Okay, number two.
709
It was Sally's dream.
710
What was her dream?
711
What did she dream?
712
What did she want to do?
713
A. Fly airplanes.
714
Did Sally want to fly airplanes, become a pilot?
715
No, she didn't want to fly airplanes, right?
716
She wanted to be something else.
717
She wanted to go more, further away than pilots do.
718
Okay?
719
B, be a scientist.
720
Well, Sally did study science, that's true, but her dream wasn't to become a scientist.
721
She studied science in order to use her knowledge to be something else, but not a scientist.
722
She didn't want to be a scientist.
723
C, fly through space.
724
Sally, as the beginning of the story said, she wanted to be an astronaut because she wanted to fly through space.
725
So, it was Sally's dream to fly through space.
726
That's the correct answer.
727
That's true, right?
728
So, that's what we got there.
729
Okay.
730
To read the newspaper, well, fly through space.
731
That's the answer.
732
It was Sally's dream to fly through space.
733
D, it was Sally's dream to read the newspaper?
734
It was her dream to read the newspaper?
735
That's kind of a silly dream, right?
736
I hope you don't have a dream that's so easy.
737
Just pick up the newspaper and read it.
738
That's not a dream.
739
Just do it.
740
All right?
741
That's very silly.
742
So obviously that's not correct.
743
The right answer is C, it was Sally's dream to fly through space.
744
Okay.
745
Number three, Sally, beep, for many weeks to be an astronaut.
746
What did she do?
747
Did she study?
748
Did she train?
749
Did she fly?
750
Did she sleep?
751
Well, the story said that she had to learn how to do many things, right?
752
And that means that she trained for many weeks to be an astronaut.
753
Not studied, she studied for many years and she studied science for many years to become an astronaut.
754
The story specifically said that she trained for many weeks.
755
to be an astronaut.
756
She flew for many weeks to be an astronaut?
757
No, that's not correct.
758
She slept.
759
That's crazy.
760
Wouldn't that be nice though if you just sleep?
761
Oh, I'll just go to sleep for two weeks and I'll wake up.
762
I'm an astronaut.
763
We can't do that.
764
I'm sorry.
765
But it's not exciting.
766
It's better to train.
767
That's more exciting.
768
Sleeping is boring.
769
The correct answer, Sally trained for many weeks to be an astronaut.
770
That is the correct answer.
771
Number four, Sally Ride was a great teacher,
772
the only female astronaut, the first female pilot, the first American female astronaut.
773
So which sentence is true or the best sentence about Sally Ryan?
774
Let's take a look.
775
She was a great teacher?
776
No. The article, the passage, didn't mention anything about Sally teaching anybody.
777
So that's not right.
778
The only female astronaut.
779
Be careful here.
780
It says the only.
781
Did the article say that there was no other female astronauts ever?
782
It didn't say that.
783
The article was about Sally Ride being the first female astronaut.
784
Maybe other females became astronauts after her.
785
That's possible.
786
But the story didn't say it.
787
So it's not about the only female astronaut, right?
788
It's about the first female astronaut.
789
So only is not correct, we can't use B.
790
Here we have first, but this word is a problem.
791
The first female pilot.
792
She's not a pilot, it wasn't her dream to become a pilot, so that's not right because of this word here.
793
It's actually the first female astronaut, and that's what we find down here.
794
The first, we got first, and we have astronaut and of course female.
795
So the first female astronaut, that is what Sally Ride was.
796
Okay, so the answer of course is D.
797
Sally Ride was the first American female astronaut.
798
That is the answer to that question.
799
Okay, good.
800
Okay, let's come to our conclusion here.
801
This is a picture again of Sally Ride, she is the first American female astronaut.
802
What does she have to say?
803
What are some things that she would say to us?
804
First of all, she would say, I wanted to be an astronaut.
805
That was her dream when she was a child.
806
She might also say, I studied all about science.
807
She had a dream.
808
This is her dream.
809
How did she make her dream come true?
810
First, she studied all about outer space, planets and other stars.
811
She wrote a letter to the newspaper and was picked for a new astronaut.
812
Remember the story in the newspaper, she saw it, so she wrote a letter and she was picked to be a new astronaut.
813
Great, wonderful news.
814
Finally, she can say, I finished training.
815
So she trained to be an astronaut and flew on the space shuttle Challenger.
816
So her dream came true.
817
She became an astronaut and she flew on the space shuttle, which was named Challenger.
818
Okay, very inspiring story.
819
I hope so.
820
We can learn many things about astronauts, but we can also learn, very important, that your dreams can come true.
821
If you work hard and you have some wonderful news, then you can do what you want to do.
822
Your dream can come true.
823
And I hope your dreams do come true.
824
Okay, well that wraps it up for this lesson.
825
We'll see you next time.
826
Take care, everybody.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
