Summary

English becomes omnipresent all over the world, about third of the world's population are exposed to it, and by 2050, it is foretold, half the world will be more or less proficient in it. In addition, it is the language of computers and the internet. It is not an easy languages. For example, the verbs tend to be irregular, the grammar bizarre, and the match between spelling and pronunciation a nightmare. Moreover, native speakers sometimes have trouble understanding each other because it is widely spoken and many versions have evolved (The Web Site of British Magazine).

Paraphrase 1

An article in Science magazine states that there is another crucial problem which astronauts should take into consideration which is maintaining astronauts’ metal because they are detained in isolation place which produces apprehension and loneliness (Clinton 18).

Paraphrase 2

Eventually, how can astronaut assuage when they stayed for weeks in hostile place because there will be a lot of arguments between them how can they deal with stress. Anyone can be angry with his friend (Clinton 18).

Paraphrase 3

A letter to Editor in Time Magazine reports that we should not spend amount of money to reach Mars. It will not provide anything that will make our life better on earth. We should disturb those billion for “home improvement” we should think of making progress in curing cancer, AIDS, and other diseases; in purifying our water, air, and soil: in feeding hungry nations. Why do we face dangerous outer spaces? We should find a solution to homelessness, poverty, and unemployment on Earth ( Brunish 9).

Paraphrase 4

An article in Time magazine mentions that speed is everything on the way to Mars and not only a seven-month trip in detained space can be indirect. The most essential problem is that it can be fatal because of radiation exposure in deep space, where earth’ magnetic field is not available to leave astronauts far more exposed to deadly cosmic energy than they are in orbit (Kluger 42-50).
