Show some pictures that introduce the sun, the moon, the earth, space, spaceship, satellite, universe, etc.
Ask the students to look at the pictures and say: Look, this is a satellite. Today we are going to read about it. The title of the passage is “The Universe and Man - made satellite”. Watch the video about satellite and speak out what a satellite is.
After watching, let the students discuss the questions for a while. Get them to give the explanations in English.
For instance: A satellite goes round the earth. The moon is a satellite of the earth. There are many man-made satellites in the space too. Then explain that man-made is an adjective meaning made by people. “Man” in this text means “the human race”.
