My bedroom isn’t big but I’ve got a bed, a wardrobe, a table, two chairs and some bookcases in it. It’s got a big window too. On the second floor there’s a big bedroom for my parents and a bathroom.

There are a lot of unusual things about our house.

For example, there are 70 stairs (!!) and the door is 400 years old! My favourite place in the house is on the roof. It’s got an amazing view of the sea and mountains. It’s really beautiful. There isn’t a garden but we have got a forest and there’s a cave under the tower. I love our house!

My life in the mountains My name’s Helga Fischer and I’m 16 years old. I don’t live in a big city, but in a small village in an area called Styria in the south of Austria. I love it because it’s got lots of mountains, forests and lakes, but my home isn’t very near my school. I go to a very small school in the mountains – it’s only got 49 students!

On weekdays, in the morning, I always wake up at 6:30 a.m. I don’t like getting up early, so I stay in bed as late as I can but then mum calls me and I hurry up! I usually have a shower and get dressed very quickly, and I leave home at 7:00 a.m. I don’t have breakfast at home, so I take some bread and fruit with me. I usually meet my friends in the village and we catch the bus together. On the journey to school, I usually chat with my friends, so it isn’t boring.

Our school is very high up in the mountains, and we travel along small, winding roads to get to it.

We never walk or cycle because the journey is all uphill! In spring and summer it’s quicker than in the winter. That’s because it snows a lot and we have to drive very slowly because of the ice.

1 We usually get to school at about 8:15 a.m. and we start classes at 8:45. We have three classes in the morning and then we have a break. We always have lunch at midday. After that, we have two hours of lessons. I finish classes at 2:30 p.m., and I get home around 3:30. After school I always do my homework (boring!), but I read books and play with my younger brother, too.

On Tuesday afternoon I play basketball. In the evening, I sometimes help my mum with the cooking, even though she doesn’t think I’m a great cook! At 8:00 p.m., we have dinner. Finally, I go to bed at about 10:00 p.m.

An unusual job Warm up 1 Look at the photos and read the title of

the article. Where are the men? What do you think is unusual about their day?

A Typical Day in Space On a typical day in space astronauts have got a lot of different jobs to do.

A work day on the International Space Station isn’t eight hours, it’s twelve hours!

The astronauts get up when it’s morning at Mission Control in Houston, Texas. They haven’t got a bathroom on the Space Station and water is difficult to use because there’s no gravity. The astronauts wash with gel soap and then they put on their clothes. They have breakfast in the ‘kitchen’, then they look at their list of jobs for the day. They talk to Mission Control about any problems they’ve got, and then they start work.

The Space Station is the astronauts’ laboratory. It’s also their office and their home. In the afternoon they work on experiments with the scientists at Mission Control. They write about their experiments on their computers, they look at data and they clean the Space Station. It’s very important to keep healthy in space too, so the astronauts also exercise for two hours every day. This helps them prepare for space walks. They put on their special spacesuits and helmets and they practise walking in them.

In the evening the astronauts sit down to have dinner and talk about their day. They don’t make dinner, or cook any of their meals, because their food comes in packets. It’s not delicious but it is healthy.

They go to bed when it’s night in Houston, but they haven’t got beds, they sleep in special chairs!

(1947-2016) Born David Robert Jones in Brixton, South London, during his career Bowie produces 27 studio albums and hundreds of singles. He also stars in films, theatre shows, and is the voice behind Lord Royal Highness in TV’s Spongebob Squarepants.

Innovative, creative and iconic, Bowie constantly changes his musical style, appearance and identity. Famous alter-egos include: astronaut, Major Tom; alien, Ziggy Stardust; and the aristocratic Thin White Duke.

A master of self-promotion, he presents Black Star, his final album, on his 69th birthday. Two days later he dies. ‘Look up here: I’m in heaven’, say the lyrics of the song ‘Lazarus’ on that album.

Listen to the song online. Read this extract and answer the questions.

Ground Control to Major Tom Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you…

‘Here am I floating ’round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue And there’s nothing I can do’ ground control base di controllo a terra dead morto (non funziona) floating galleggiando tin can (space ship) scatola di latta (nave spaziale)

1 2 3 4 5 34

Who tries to contact Major Tom? Why can’t Major Tom hear them?

Where is Major Tom? What can Major Tom see?

What can he do to resolve his problem?

Space Oddity is Bowie’s first chart hit in 1969, the year astronauts land on the moon.

Critics see the song’s character, Major Tom, who loses contact with Earth, as a metaphor for Bowie’s own isolation and loss of control.

Whatever its true meaning, the song becomes the background to the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon Landing on TV.
