Valentina Tereshkova was bom in 1937. She is the first woman to fly in space. Tereshkova flew aboard Vostok 6 from June 16 to June 19, 1963.
Tereshkova was bom to a peasant family in the Yaroslavl region of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Tereshkova began work at a textile factory when she was 18 years old. She soon joined a club of amateur parachutists. When the Soviet space programme began to consider sending women into space in 1961, she applied to become a cosmonaut.
Shortly before the June 16, 1963, the launch date, Tereshkova was chosen to fly aboard Vostok 6. She made 48 orbits totalling 70 hours 50 minutes in space.
Tereshkova married fellow cosmonaut Andrian Nikolayev in November 1963. Their daughter Yelena was bom the following year, the first child of parents that had both been in space.

(Suggested answer)
The chart describes the factors that affect the success of learning English as a second language.
Some factors relate to the student’s first language and ability in that language. A learner’s fluency, degree of literacy and level of education also affect the capacity to learn English.
Teaching methods also influence the success of the learner. The skill and experience of the teacher are as important as the teachaing strategies used by the teacher and the quality of the teaching aids and technology available.
Students of English are also affected by various personal factors. The motivation of the learners, their age, the learning conditions and the time available for study are all important influences. The student’s feelings of security about learning English are similarly significant.
A clear understanding of all these factors will obviously assist in the learning of English as a second language.
