' Read the newspaper article and discuss the questions after it. Dear readers! This is our last report about the discoveries on the alien spaceship. The group of young astronauts that met it in space, has already left it. They have explored all the sections of the spaceship. As we have already reported, they found a lot of interesting things there. Scientists from all over the world are working on their findings now. A lot of new discoveries have been made and we hope even more will be made in the future. But the travel in space has to continue. We talked to Mr Rich Spaceman, the person who prepared the team of young astronauts for this mission. Here is what he said: "This unexpected adventure has a great importance not only for the science of our planet, but also for the astronauts' trainer. Everything that hap­pened there showed that each member of the international team is a profes­sional now. They are very young yet but they demonstrated real courage, enthusiasm and strong will. They learned a lot during the trip and now I am sure they are ready to meet any other living beings in space. I know that they will represent our planet with honour. All the events also showed that the preparation programme developed in our centre is really effective and now we are planning to invite more schoolchildren from all over the world to partici­pate in the tests which will help us choose the best of them for new missions."
