Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
SPACE HOLIDAY
Are you thinking about going on a holiday in space? Well, you may not be able to go to the Moon, but you could think about a space tour! This kind of 'holiday' lets people stay in space inside a space station. Of course, it is very expensive, and you would need to be a millionaire to pay for it!
First, it costs 30 million dollars! Second, there is a very long waiting list, and there are no free spaces for many years. Third, you have to be very strong and healthy. You also need to do a lot of training to get ready before you can go on this kind of holiday.
Why do people want to travel in space? The answer seems to be the excitement and fun of seeing Earth from above. Astronauts say the view of Earth from space is absolutely amazing and unforgettable.
While space holidays are still a dream for most people, many now look for unique trips with space-like activities. These are different from a normal package holiday and give a special experience. However, they are also much more expensive than regular holidays and require special preparation.

Today, text-messaging has become the most common form of communication for young people. Many teachers worry that students are not writing correctly at school because they are used to informal language. They fear that once students get comfortable with "text-speak," they will find it difficult to use correct grammar and spelling in their academic work.
This trend began with email and online chat rooms. Over time, young people made sentences and words shorter to communicate faster. Today, text-messaging has its own grammar and vocabulary, almost like a real language. This raises an important question: Does text-messaging really harm students' writing skills?
People have different opinions. Some argue that students are losing the ability to write long, formal sentences. However, others believe text-messaging has a positive effect. They say it shows students are creative and good at expressing themselves. If students can separate texting from schoolwork, they may actually learn to appreciate reading and writing more.
One way to reduce negative effects is to use technology as a learning tool. For instance, teachers could allow students to text their assignments but require them to use correct spelling. This helps students understand that while "text-speak" is fine for social life, formal language is necessary for school. By using familiar technology, students learn to switch between different styles of communication depending on the situation.
Nowadays, sending text messages is the way young people communicate most often.
Teachers believe that "text-speak" makes it harder to use formal grammar.
Students should use the same language style for both texting and schoolwork.
The current form of text-messaging was influenced by earlier digital communication tools.
Some people believe texting helps students express themselves better than formal writing.
