B. Now read the first paragraph of this article and decide whether you were right of wrong

Russia’s Cosmonauts Training Center plans to double and even triple the amount of candidates during the upcoming supplementary recruitment campaign, compared to the previous one, the center’s head Yuri Lonchakov told reporters on Wednesday. "There are two aspects to the recruitment process, as it requires a technical education and flight training. In addition, the applicants will take tests in physics, mathematics, the Russian and English languages and the history of culture," the head of the Cosmonauts Training Center added.

Andrew Nikonov (a BMSTU graduate) has decided to write a letter of application to the Cosmonauts Training Center. He is required to write letters both in Russian and in English to demonstrate a good command of English.

In his letter below, the paragraphs are out of order. Read the letter and write the correct order of paragraphs.
