Space
People have always dreamt of travelling in space and reaching other planets.
At the beginning of the 20th century a famous Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky said that mankind will not live on planet Earth forever.
His predictions came true half a century later, when the first artificial satellite was launched.
It was on October 4, 1957.
The satellite was called Sputnik-1.
However, the most important event in space exploration took place in on April 12, 1961, when spaceship “Vostok” with a man on board was launched into space.
This first man who overcame gravitation was Yuri Gagarin.
After successful orbiting, he returned to the Earth.
This flight encouraged many other Russian cosmonauts to explore the outer space.
Among them, Titov, Nikolaev, Tereshkova, Leonov, Savitskaya and others.

Thanks for your letter! As soon as I have received it I start writing to you.
Now I am at school. My holiday is over.I spent my holiday very well. I went out with my friends, read, listened to music, watched TV, played computer games. I spent some weeks in my grandparent’s house with my grandparents. I helped my grandpa to dig the garden, to water plants, and to gather fruit and vegetables. Also I was fishing with my grandpa. I enjoyed floating by boat, swimming in the river and helping my grandparents.. It was a great time. I swimmed, walked by seaside.During my summer holidays I made many new friends, read a lot of interesting books, got to know a lot of useful things. Now I feel ready to get back to school. I am happy to meet my friends and teachers. What about you? How did you spend your holiday? Did you like it? Sorry. I have to go. I must help my mother. With love, Lusy
