YURI GAGARIN It was at 10 am on 12th April, 1961 when Radio Moscow interrupted scheduled broadcasting to announce something truly historic and magnificent. “Here is our special news,” it stated. “The first cosmic spaceship named Vostok 1 with a man on board has orbited around the Earth from the Soviet Union. He is an airman, Major Yuri Gagarin.” An hour earlier the spacecraft Vostok 1, with Yuri Gagarin as its only crew, was fired from a launch pad in Baikonur in Kazakhstan. It orbited the Earth once at a speed of 27,000 kilometres per hour for a total duration of 108 minutes. The ship’s flight path took it up to space and over the Pacific Ocean, South America, across the equator, and the South Atlantic before re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere and landing at Engels. His safe return put to rest worries that space flight could be fatal to humans and opened the doors to space travel. The news quickly spread and the world was astonished. The Soviet Union had beaten the USA in the race to get the first man into space and Yuri Gagarin had become that man. The Soviet leader Nikita Khrushschev congratulated Gagarin on his achievement and sent him a message from his Black Sea holiday home in which he said that the flight opened up a new page in the history of mankind in its conquest of space. Major Yuri Gagarin, a previously unknown army officer, instantly became a national hero and an international icon. Today, the landing site at Engels has become a Monument Park at the centre of which is a 25-metre tall statue of Yuri Gagarin. The space hero has not been forgotten and on the 50th anniversary of his voyage into space world cosmonauts honoured the hero when the Russian, American and Italian crew of the International Space Station sent a special video message to wish the people of the world a ‘Happy Yuri’s Night’.

The task of state exam (OGE) You are going to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud. Most people enjoy watching the night sky. And the brightest object in the sky is the Moon. Every night the Moon rises in the East and sets in the West. It takes about 27 days to go around the Earth, and it’s an interesting fact that we always see the same side of the Moon. The Moon is the closest object to the Earth. It would take us only 13 hours to get to the Moon by rocket. If we were able to travel at the speed of light, it would take a bit less than two seconds. There is a very thin atmosphere on the Moon. Life is not possible there. In spite of this, the Moon can be used as a base for space exploration and even for space tourism. Some space companies say that they will be able to take tourists to the Moon as soon as in 2020.
