Please, if you have any doubts or comments, don't hesitate to publish them as a comment here or bring them to class.
See you in class.
In number 5, is correct the sentence ''It's a small price to pay not to be able to eat your favourite food or have a shower...''?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can quote that part of the text too. I would include the whole of Lu's statement: "It's a small price to pay not to be able to eat your favourite food or take a hot shower if you have the opportunity to live and work in space."
ReplyDeleteAlso, remember that you should elaborate your answer a little:
This statement is TRUE...etc.
See you soon
