Text 7A1-II
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost. The Road Not Taken. 1916 (adapted).

How the Human Body Changes in Space
For years, TRISH (The Translational Research Institute for Space Health) has supported research projects and studies that aim to solve the challenges of human exploration in space. It is important that we know, first, the risks to human health during space travel. Understanding some of these risks (see below) is essential for a successful return to the moon in NASA’s Artemis missions.
Muscles
Astronauts experience decreased muscle mass, strength, and endurance because moving around requires reduced work from the legs and back. As a result, the muscles can begin to weaken or atrophy. To help combat this, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have a strict exercise regime.
Neurological
In space missions, astronauts can experience disorientation, space motion sickness, and a loss of sense of direction, making completion of even basic tasks difficult. In an emergency, decreased sensorimotor function and postural stability could be dangerous.
Cardiovascular
In space, astronauts may face decreases in blood volume and aerobic capacity, while also experiencing increased arrhythmias. Although the cardiovascular system functions well in space, the body does not require as much work from the heart (still a muscle, after all) in microgravity. This could lead to deconditioning and a decrease in the size of the heart.

Text 1 – How children learn languages
Questions 31 to 39
How long does it take to learn a language?
Many different factors affect the time it takes. These include
your child’s age, first language, their reason for BLANK I English and their teachers. You can help your child learn quickly
by BLANK II them lots of opportunities to use English. It helps
to have real reasons for BLANK III a language, rather than just
BLANK IV grammar.
Is it true that boys and girls learn languages differently?
Yes. At early ages, girls tend to develop language more quickly. Remember that it’s OK for children to develop at different
speeds. It will be more similar by secondary school age. However, by this stage children might think that languages are ‘more
of a girl thing’. Attitudes to learning can have a big impact on
educational success so it’s important to find ways to encourage
your child and help them enjoy their learning.
Do primary and secondary children learn languages differently?
Yes, there are differences.
Primary school children are learning their first and second languages at the same time. It’s really important
to support both languages. Children with a strong foundation in their first language will find it easier to learn
a second language. Encourage your child to play, sing
and read in both their first and second languages. Remember to plan separate times to focus on each language.
If you say something in English and then in another language,
your child will automatically listen for their stronger language
and ‘tune out’ the other language.
Teenagers are interested in exploring their personalities and
identities. This creates lots of opportunities to use popular culture, films, TV, music and video games. Teenagers also enjoy
challenging authority, which provides opportunities for debates
and discussion.
Will learning another language affect how well my child
does at school?
Multilingual children learn at a young age that they can express their ideas in more than one way. This helps their
thought process and makes them better, more flexible, learners. Research has found that children who speak more than one
language do better in school, and have better memories and
problem-solving skills.
What kind of learner is my child?
Watch your child playing. What do they enjoy doing? Puzzles and problem-solving? Physical play and sports? Word games?
Writing stories? Creative play? Try doing these types of activities in English and make a note of what your child responds to
best. Alternatively, ask your child to create in English their own
one-week ‘dream timetable of activities’. Let them choose how
to present it. For example, they could act it out, prepare a written
fact file, make a video, draw pictures, go on a treasure hunt or
make a scrap book.
