L55-1: From the earth: Greetings

ɛl55-1: frɒm ði ɜːθ: ˈgriːtɪŋz

Recent developments in astronomy have made it possible to detect planets in our own Milky Way and in other galaxies. This is a major achievement because, in relative terms, planets are very small and do not emit light. Finding planets is proving hard enough, but finding life on them will prove infinitely more difficult. The first question to answer is whether a planet can actually support life. In our own solar system, for example, Venus is far too hot and Mars is far too cold to support life. Only the Earth provides ideal conditions, and even here it has taken more than 4 billion years for plant and animal life to evolve. Whether a planet can support life depends on the size and brightness of its star, that is its 'sun'. Imagine a star up to 20 times larger, brighter and hotter than our own sun. A planet would have to be a very long way from it to be capable of supporting life.

任务配置：L0、L3、L4

练习感悟： 听了一遍自己发的复述，存在的问题包括be动词单复数，会把该用has的地方用上have，另外现在完成时里的动词，不记得变格式，会把taken说成take，未将动词名词化，会把brightness说成bright。复习很可贵，我现在可以一定程度的查缺补漏了，棒。今天有些累了，想赶明天再狠狠练，今天就中等练。
