Language model
How long have you been an astronaut?
I’ve been a pilot since I was 25 and I’ve been an astronaut for six years.
And have you flown in a rocket into space?
Yes, I have. I was in space last year for six months. I’ve only been back since January. You’ve been back for
only two months? What does the food taste like? What’s it like in space?

Put the children into pairs and ask them to read the story and circle the answers
to complete the statements. You could take this opportunity to point out that Holly
uses polite language such as ‘I’d like...’ and ‘Could I..?’ If time allows, expand this

“Could you tell me the time?”, “I’d like to read the dialogue again.” then get them
practising the dialogue in pairs by taking on the roles of Holly and Michael.
Read the sentences from the dialogue. Then write ‘for’ or ‘since’.
Ask the children to tell you which statements in the dialogue use the present

examples using ‘for’ and ‘since’ by saying an expression and asking them to
decide if it corresponds to ‘for’ or ‘since’, e.g. festivals, three days, March, a few
minutes, yesterday, etc so you can establish their usage more clearly.

Optional practice activities
Choose one or more suitable activities for your class to complete the practice
element of your lesson:
Language extension
Put the children into pairs. Explain that they are going to interview each other
like Holly did with the astronaut. Give the children the handout and ask them to
complete it individually. When they have done this get them to take turns asking

opinions as a class and use the opportunity to improve pronunciation or feed in
any vocabulary they need to express themselves better.
Teaching tips
t In this topic, we have looked at how you can incorporate prediction skills.
Asking the children to do this can help to maintain interest, provide
them with a communicative task (they are giving their own opinions) and
stimulate them to find out if they were right.
