Complete the conversation about training courses for astronauts, using the responses (A-D) given.

A. American astronauts will need to be able to talk with the Russian Mission Control Center. B. First, a person who wants to travel into space must be chosen to be an astronaut candidate. C. In order for astronauts to get a feel for what they will be doing in space, they practise on life-sized models. D. They must learn many things besides science. |
Phong: My dream is to be an astronaut. I think I have to work very hard to make my dream come true, Dr. Wilson.
Dr. Wilson: Definitely, Phong. Then the real work begins.
Phong: Astronauts have to take several classes?
Dr. Wilson: Right. For example, in order to beprepared for any emergency, astronauts take survival training.
Phong: I think it's very important. Do they have to learn foreign languages?
Dr. Wilson: They also have to take language classes.
Phong: I see, sir. What classes do they take to know how to work in space?
Dr. Wilson: These models are called 'mock-ups' and the Space Vehicle Mock-up Facility (SVMF) is where they practise.

E. In these mock-ups, astronauts will learn how they will move about. F. Because even experienced astronauts get sick in the plane. G. They may spend up to seven hours at a time under water. H. For this brief amount of time, astronauts feel weightless. |
(cont.)
Phong: “Mock-ups” and SVMF? What do they practise there?
Dr. Wilson: And in the SVMF, astronauts practise using the Space Shuttle Orbiter and parts of the ISS.
Phong: I think astronauts have to get used to being the almost weightless condition known as microgravity.
Dr. Wilson: Astronauts feel weightless for a short time in the plane called the Weightless Wonder or Vomit Comet. It provides about 20-25 seconds of zero gravity.
Phong: Vomit Comet? Why is it called like that?
Dr. Wilson: That's the reason why it gets its names.
Phong: What's the training course for spacewalks? They're awesome.
Dr. Wilson: Well, to practise spacewalks, they use a huge 'swimming pool'. Astronauts float in the water while they practise on models of space vehicles.
Phong: Thank you, Mr. Wilson. I think there are many things I have to do.
