Task 1. Read the text. Write True orFalse next to the sentence.

How did all the planets get there? How is it only our planet has life? Will we ever travel to other planets? I often think about these questions. I think our planet is the best. It looks so beautiful from space with its mixture of blue and green. The other planets look too strange to me. Mercury is just a red, hot ball, pretty much the same as Mars. Saturn looks like a real planet. Its rings give it an extra-special look. The other planets don’t look that interesting. I don’t really know much about Venus, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter. When I was at school, we learnt that Pluto was a planet. However now it is not. Scientists have decided there are now only eight planets in our solar system and not nine. I wonder why they dropped Pluto.
