Task 2 Report the news

T: Good! You've done a good job. Now I'd like you to report the news of "Chinese Taikonaut Back on Earth!". Any volunteer?

S: I'd like to have a try. China's first taikonaut Yang Liwei landed safely on the morning of October 16th, 2003, who was in space for twenty-one and a half hours, made 14 orbits of the earth and took photographs of planet earth. Therefore, China became the third nation to send a man into space. The flight was a complete success, so it won praise and congratulations at home and abroad. While he was in space, Yang spoke to two astronauts aboard the International Space Station. United Nations Secretary - General Kofi Annan called the flight "a step forward for the whole world".

If time permits, ask 2 or 3 students to report the news with their books closed.
