How far would you go?


Several science-fiction films and series have become so popular that they have
achieved cult status. Their influence continues to grow and followers and fans remain
steadfastly loyal to their imagined heroes. There are conventions, books, magazines
and websites all dedicated to these stars, their exploits and their lives.

One of the most influential TV sci-fi series of all time was Star Trek, an American series
which followed the adventures of the Starship Enterprise across galaxies for many,
many years. The characters of Captain Kirk, Doctor Spock and Engineer Scottie, to
name just a few members of the valiant crew, captured our imaginations. Feature films
brought the adventures to the big screen but even when the series and films had
finished and the ageing crew long retired loyal fans keep the memories alive. There are
regular Star Trek conventions all over the world where fans meet to buy memorabilia,
listen to talks and of course dress up as their favourite aliens. And as with other cult
shows, Star Trek also has its fair share of eccentrics who take interest that one step
further – into obsession.

One such person, Tony Adams, lives in Leicestershire, England and is so fond of the
series that he spent several years and many thousands of pounds decorating and
changing his flat into the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. It contains replicas of all the
machines and screens and even has a transporter room fitted with special beams of
light. The flat is perfect but it still functions as a living area. The owner has ingeniously
disguised essential appliances such as microwaves and sinks, and normal
entertainment equipment like TV, radio and DVD systems are carefully hidden behind
wall panels. The whole flat is bathed in an eerie blue light and you can really imagine
looking out of one of the porthole windows and seeing stars and planets speeding past.

Perhaps the owner’s next step will be to learn Klingon, the language spoken by one of
the alien species that Kirk and friends encounter on their travels. In a quite remarkable
feat, a whole new language has been created and it is possible to attend the Klingon
Language Institute in Pennsylvania, founded by Lawrence M Schoen. You can actually
gain a qualification in Klingon. And when you have learned the language you will be
able to read Shakespeare’s Hamlet which has already been translated!

For more interesting Star Trek obsessives, look on their website or even better, go to
one of their conventions. It will be quite an experience!

Câu 3:

Write a short story. Imagine you were working on a space station on another planet.
You suddenly heard a terrible noise outside. What happened? Use the writing guide to
help you.

Paragraph 1: Set the scene and give background information.

Paragraphs 2 and 3: Describe the events.

Paragraph 4: Bring the story to an end.


Trả lời:
We are astronauts and we are working for NASA on a space station in MARS planet.
There’s lots of work to operate the many science experiments on board. The crew also
has to make sure that the station is in top shape, so we clean, check equipment,
maintain and repair or replace broken equipment. Crew members also must exercise
two hours each day to stay fit and keep their bones and muscles strong. Sometimes
we need to do a spacewalk to work outside the station in our spacesuit. It’s a tough
and dangerous job but the view is terrific. The extra-vehicular activities, or EVAs, help
keep the space station running.

Once when we were outside the space station, suddenly there was a loud explosion,
we were startled and looked around and determined the cause of the explosion, but
found nothing. When we look at the roof of the station, there is smoke rising.
We immediately returned to the station to check the technician to see if there was any
damage to the equipment so that we could immediately deal with it.

Fortunately, the problem is not serious, we have spare equipment available to carry out
the replacement and repair of the relevant area. If it is not possible to replace it, we
must contact the earth station or the station on a nearby planet for resupply. What a
long day!
