Flying in space was her dream in childhood.

She was licensed to fly a single and multi-engine land airplane, single-engine seaplanes and gliders. In 1997 Kalpana Chawla joined the Columbia Space Shuttle Flight STS-87.
Question no-4.
Let's learn some grammar:
Read the following sentences about Manas and Mayuri:
(i) Manas said to Mayuri," Hello, Mayuri! Have you completed the project on women in space?"
(ii) Manas greeted Mayuri and asked her whether she had completed the project on women in space.
The words spoken by a person/persons can be reported in two ways: Direct Speech and Indirect.
When we quote the exact words spoken by a person, we call it direct speech. Note that the exact words spoken by the speaker Manas are put within inverted commas.
There are some rules for changing Direct Speech to Indirect Speech.
* In indirect speech no inverted commas are used.
* The part used before the inverted commas (for example: said) in a reporting clause is called a reporting verb.
* We can also make the speaker's words a part of our own sentence. When we do so, the words are in Indirect Speech or reported speech. While reporting a speech, we make changes to some of the words in Direct Speech. We also often use the conjunction that in reported speech.
Here is a sentence in Indirect Speech. Write the sentence in Direct Speech in the space below. Remember to use inverted commas.
Mayuri said that she had read about it on the Internet.
------------------------------------------------------
(b) In column, A below are two sentences in Direct Speech. In column B there are the matching sentences in Indirect Speech. Are the sentences in Column B correct? If not, rewrite them correctly in Column C:
Column -A Column-B Column-C
Mayuri said to Manas, "Do Mayuri said to Manas that does
you know what NASA is?" he know what NASA is?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manas said," Our country will Manas said that," our country would
always remember her." always remember her."

2. s form; -----------------------looks: He looks at the moon.

(ii) I'm sure she-------flying in space. (past form of love)
(iii)It has -----to the sky. (past participle of fly)

Question no-13.
Project Work: The teacher will divide the students into groups. The groups will prepare a questionnaire ( a list of questions) to be answered by the students of other classes in the school.
The objective/purpose of the questionnaire is to find out how many students in the school know about Kalpana Chawla, what they think about women taking up space Science as a profession, and how many girls would like to become astronauts.
Students will prepare the questionnaire with the help of information from the lesson and from other sources [like books on general knowledge, the internet (if available), and so on].
Each group will prepare at least ten questions, using wh-words(what, where, why, when, who, whom, and how).
The group member will discuss among themselves what questions to ask and finalize the list of questions.
Every group member will prepare ten copies of the questionnaire. Then, he/she will go around the school at break time to get the questionnaire answered by students os other classes. (If there are five members per group, they will have 5*10=50 questionnaires answered by 50 students.)
After the questionnaires have been answered, the group members will count and note down the following points.
how many students know about Kalpana Chawla and how many do not
how many have responded with a 'yes' to the question on suitability of
girls taking up Space Science as a profession
how many girls would like to become astronauts
Each group will then share their findings with the rest of the class.
