‫We're going to look at some vocabulary all around the topic of space space is one of those topics that
‫most likely will come up in the reading section of the Eilts test.
‫There's definitely a small chance you might see this in both speaking, listening and writing.
‫But overwhelmingly, if you are going to see something around space, it will most likely be in the
‫reading section of the test.
‫So it's definitely worthwhile understanding some essential vocabulary around this topic.
‫So here is our list atmosphere.
‫Exploration.
‫Galaxie.
‫Solar system.
‫Satellite.
‫Terrestrial.
‫Colonies and finally, astronauts.
‫So let's move on to our first piece of vocabulary, which is atmosphere.
‫Atmosphere is everything between where we are standing now, the ground of earth all the way to the
‫edge of our sky, which is where we find all our oxygen and carbon outside the atmosphere is where you
‫will find space.
‫Due to burning fossil fuels, humans have damaged our earth's atmosphere and I've highlighted fossil
‫fuels as it's a very common term to to label oil and gas and those kinds of energy giving fuels.
‫Once a spaceship leaves our atmosphere, it is then in space so that we have atmosphere.
‫Next up is exploration.
‫Exploration is to explore, to find new places that no one has yet been to.
‫In the 1960s, America and Russia were pushing the limits of space exploration.
‫And I've highlighted again another term pushing the limits when you use this term, pushing the limits,
‫you're describing doing something that is very innovative, challenging, you're trying to be the very
‫best at it.
‫Let's take a look at the next example sentence, if we continue harming our planet, exploration of
‫new habitable planet will be important.
‫And another piece of vocabulary highlighted habitable or habit habits somewhere live habitable.
‫A habitable planet is somewhere that humans can live.
‫Onto our next piece of vocabulary, which is Galaxie.
‫A galaxy is a huge collection of stars, and inside those areas are many different solar systems and,
‫of course, planets.
‫The galaxy where Earth is located is unimaginably huge place.
‫Some people think there is other life in our galaxy.
‫And moving on, we have solar system, a solar system is a part of space that has one sun with planets
‫going around or orbiting this sun.
‫In our solar system, there are eight known planets, including Earth.
‫Governments are currently planning to travel to other planets in our solar system.
‫Here we have satellite.
‫A satellite is a human made piece of technology, a spacecraft that goes around or orbits our planet
‫such as our planet Earth.
‫Due to advancements in satellite technology, we now have excellent device signals.
‫A satellite will often stay in space for many years.
‫And moving on, we have extra terrestrial, extra terrestrial is any form of life that is not found
‫on our planet Earth.
‫It is also known as alien.
‫Some scientists feel that extraterrestrial life could exist on planets as close as Mars.
‫For thousands of years, humans have told stories of extraterrestrial life.
‫And here we have colonies, colonies means to move humans or a group of people somewhere where nobody
‫is currently living.
‫We move people there to make a town, a village or a city.
‫We can say that we will colonize unexplored places.
‫Let's take a look at some examples.
‫I believe there is some chance we need to look to other planets to colonize in the future.
‫Many films have shown Mars as a planet to colonize, so colonize means moving a group of people to somewhere
‫where nobody currently lives to make a home for themselves.
‫And here we have astronaut, I'm sure most of you understand what this means, but for those who don't,
‫an astronaut is a person who goes to space.
‫On the other hand, astronauts face very dangerous and frightful journeys that sounds very similar to
‫adults writing part to sentence.
‫As a child, I dreamt of becoming an astronaut.
‫So that's a whole list of eight essential phrases and pieces of vocabulary around the topic of space.
