1. Nearly 100 years ago.

2. Scientists proved Albert Einstein’s theory that gravitational waves exist.

3. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.

4. Gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water.

5. You cannot see them with your eyes

6. They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory).

7. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them.

8. “Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.”

Dear ____,

I am writing to apply for the Aeronautical Engineering Course position. As requested, I am enclosing a completed job application, my certification, my resume, and three references. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.

I am a first-year student studying Autonomous information and control systems at BMSTU. I was responsible for some award-winning projects during high school, has a good command of English. I have a strong understanding of how aircrafts and spaceships are built and work.

The opportunity presented is very interesting, and I believe that my strong technical experience and education will make me a very competitive candidate for this position.

Please see my resume for additional information on my experience. I can be reached anytime via email at __@__ .ru or my cell phone, ___. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I look forward to speaking with you about this employment opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

Paimin Anton.

REVIEW 1-4

ex. 1

1. Комплексные материалы, из которых сделаны оптоволоконные кабели, могут быть улучшены в среде невесомости.

2. Новые технологии могут быть использованы в космических исследованиях и космонавты смогут исследовать гравитацию.

3. Появление космических станций привело к исследованию новых сплавов, белковых структур и кремниевых кристаллов.

4. Некоторые люди верят, что мы не должны тратить деньги на слишеом дорогие космические исследования.

5. Хотя они не смогли создать абсолютно идеальные чипы, они были чище, чем те, кторые были созданы под воздействием гравитационного поля Земли.

6. В соответствии с материаловедами, микрогавитация позволяет исследователям убирать несовершенства из большинства материалов.

7. Улучшения в производстве в невесомости может привести к развитию температуроустойчивой керамики и сплавов.

8. Это Эйнштейн сказал, что гравитационные волны должны быть обитаемыми.

ex. 2

1. may

2. should

3. may

4. could

5. must

6. can

ex. 3

1. Improved thanks to weightlessness properties of materials may lead to making valuable medical drugs.

2. Production in space should help to eliminate small impurities which cause failures in the signal of fibre-optic cable.

3. When the production of improved alloys should start in weightlessness?

4. Probably, he knows nothing about gravitational waves.

ex. 4

1. Cosmonauts sometimes have to produce a detail outside the ISS, in the vacuum of space.

2. Changes in physical properties of materials can be studied on board due to the space weightlessness.

3. It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space.

4. We detected gravitational waves. We did it!

5. Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.

ex. 5

Weightlessness environment could be used not only for making fun videos with floating but for science. This environment leads to new improvements in production. Gravity no more affects detail, so they can be purer than on the Earth, and it can lead to new inventions.
