1Story of the week 15 minutes

A short text about Yuri Gagarin.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Первый в космосе (The first in space)

Юрий Гагарин родился в тысяча девятьсот тридцать четвёртом году.

Он стал лётчиком, а потом космонавтом.

Двенадцатого апреля тысяча девятьсот шестьдесят первого года он полетел в космос и сказал: «Поехали!»

Полёт длился сто восемь минут.
