23 a) Read the dialogue. Say which sentences after it are true.

Sally: Pavel, what holiday do Russian people celebrate on April, 12?

Pavel: We call it Russian Cosmonautics Day. We celebrate it on April, 12 because that is the date when the first man in the world flew into space in 1961.

Sally: And he was Russian, wasn't he?

Pavel: Yes, he was. His name was Yuri Gagarin, and the name of his spaceship was "Vostok".

Sally: Oh, I remember now. Once I saw his photo in a magazine. It seems that in 1961 he was very young and good-looking.

Pavel: As far as I know, he was just 27 years old. People remember him as a very nice and friendly man, also very brave. I think one has to be brave to do what he did — to make the first step into the unknown.¹

Sally: You are right. He was a real hero, as I see it. Can you tell me more about him?

Pavel: Unfortunately, there is not much I can remember. I know that he was born in a small village near the city of Smolensk. When he was a young boy, he got interested in airplanes, spaceflights and rockets. Later he became a professional pilot. He was one of the best, and so after some hard training he got a chance to fly into space.

Sally: I'm sure there is a monument to him in Russia.

Pavel: There is more than one. In Moscow, there is a well-known monument to Gagarin in Gagarin Square. I can show it to you when we go to that part of the city.

Sally: Thank you. I'd like to see it very much.
