The first man to walk on the Moon
Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was the first man to walk on the Moon. Simon is now reading an article about the astronaut and his space travel. Here is the article.
NEIL ARMSTRONG
Neil Armstrong was born on 5 August 1930 in Ohio, the USA. He became interested in flying when he took his first flight at the age of six. He received his student pilot’s licence when he was 16.
Armstrong joined the navy in 1949 and served as a pilot for three years. In 1955, he became a test pilot. He flew over 1,100 hours and tested all types of aircraft.
In 1962, he was chosen to become an astronaut. In 1966, he went into space as command pilot of Gemini 8. He and David Scott managed to join two spacecraft together for the first time in space. However, on their way back to the Earth, the spacecraft began spinning out of control. Armstrong received the order to cut the flight short. He successfully brought the spacecraft down into the western Pacific Ocean.
On 20 July 1969, Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Together with Buzz Aldrin, he landed the spacecraft Apollo 11 on the Moon. He said the famous word “one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind” as he stepped out onto the Moon’s surface.
Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon for about two and a half hours. They collected Moon rocks to take back to the Earth for further research. When Apollo 11 returned, the whole world was waiting to greet them. They were heroes.
Because of his excellent service, Neil Armstrong was presented with the Medal of Freedom, the highest award that a US citizen can receive. He was the pride of the whole world.

When we speak or write, we can use formal or informal language. We use formal language with our teachers or unfamiliar people. However, when we speak or write to our friends, we use informal language.

题二：Kitty is writing to J.K. Rowling, the British writer, to tell her something about Harry Potter. Help Kitty check the language she is using and improve it if necessary.
Hi!
I think you’ll laugh when you read this letter. Believe it or not, there’s a real Harry Potter in the world. It’s said that it’s a lot of trouble being Harry Potter, esp. when you’re a 78-yr-old man and you happen to share the name of a world-famous boy with magic powers.
The real Harry Potter often gets phone calls from both children and TV stations.
“The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he says with a smile. “I tell them I've been Harry Potter for nearly 80 years!”
However, the real Harry Potter says the Harry Potter series isn’t his cup of tea, and he doesn’t care if he’s famous or not.
Love,
Kitty
