Упражнение 7
Пример ответа. Yuri Gagarin was born in Klushino, near Gzhatsk, in 1934. He grew up during the Second World War and later trained as a metalworker. While studying in Saratov, he joined a flying club and discovered that he wanted to become a pilot. He served in the Soviet Air Force and was selected for cosmonaut training. On 12 April 1961, he became the first human to travel into space. His spacecraft, Vostok 1, completed one orbit around Earth. After the flight, he visited many countries and continued to work on the space programme. He died during a training flight in 1968. I admire the patience and discipline he needed to prepare for a journey that nobody had made before.
