Task 1 Read Aloud

In this task, you are to read aloud a short passage. You will have 45 seconds to go
over the passage and 1 minute to read it aloud. Now here is the passage.
Space tourism is the term used to describe space travel for recreational or leisure purposes.
What was once only a dream is now becoming a reality. Futurologists are scientists who
attempt to develop predictions of what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed
on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000.
Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a
holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions has come true yet —— but the rapid
development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.

The answer and the recording are on the next page.
