Step 4 Understanding the complex sentences
T asks Ss to understand some complex sentences.

1. It’s strange that we try to sleep with no pressure against our back, but the unusual beds don’t bother us any more. (para. 2)
2. With so much going on, the space station needs a lot of maintenance, so we constantly check support systems and do some cleaning. (para. 3)
3. Splendid as the view of the Earth is, spacewalking is not as exciting as you might think. (para. 4)
4. Considering these negative effects low gravity has on the human body, we discipline ourselves to do at least two hours of exercise every day. (para. 6)
