One main advantage to word processing packages is the (1)                                          [….printed as many times as you …, ….each copy looking as good as the first, …..more efficient way to store documents, ...creating, editing and printing., a sequence of commands & keystrokes..., ...saving the document…, ....ease with which changes can be made., will have opportunities to arrange layou].

Most people learn foreign languages if they work hard and are dedicated to their goal. It doesn't take special skills to be an efficient and             (depend) language learner, just an efficient method. It is true, however, and after much          (analyse) experts have agreed, that there are difficult and easy languages, but no language is impossible to learn. The easiest languages are those that have many              (similar) to your mother tongue or to another language you speak. Many people say they would be            (interest) in learning a new language, but they lack the talent.

These people were probably discouraged by bad            (experience) in school. Everyone can learn to speak any language. And you don't have to move to a country where they speak the language you want to learn; that would not be very           (practice). With hard work you can achieve fluency in               (communicate), which is the aim of learning to speak a foreign language.

Will deep space travel ever become a         (real)? It is a question that many people have often wondered about.            (science) do believe that humans will probably succeed in travelling to other planets in our solar system but not to stars or planets outside our solar system.

And of course we can only imagine how           (danger) such a mission would be. Still the idea of exploring space continues to grow in            (popular).

Until we find a cheaper and safer way to explore space and really find out what's out there, we'll just have to use our             (imagine) to satisfy our curiosity.
