a
piece
of
writing
that
gives
an
opinion
on
a
topic
by

Is
exploring
space
a
waste
of
time
and
money?
Countries
around
the?globe?are?spending?billions
of?dollars
and
lots
of
time
on?various
space
missions,?whether?to
Mars?or?other
planets
much
further
away.
Some
people?argue?that
we
should?stop
wasting?time
and
money
exploring?space.
Instead,
we
should
feed
the
world’s
poor
and
find
immediate
solutions
to
other
problems,?such
as?pollution
and
fatal
diseases.However
others
feel
this
is
a?shallow?view
which
fails
to
realise
now
exploring
space
helps
us.
Firstly,
exploring
space
has
already?made
a
difference?in
the
fight
against
world
hunger.?It
has
directly?resulted
in?the
many
satellites
that
now
orbit
Earth.?A
number
of?the
satellites
record
data
on
land
and
weather?patterns.
Then
the
data
is
transmitted
to
scientists
on
Earth.
After
careful
analysis,
the
scientists
can
provide
useful
recommendations
and
advice
for
farmers.?As
a
result,
space-based
science
has
helped
farming
in
its
efforts
to
grow
enough
food
to
feed
Earth’s
increasing
population.
Secondly,
space
exploration
has
already
promoted
technological
improvements
that
benefit
us
all.
High-end
products
around
the
world
are
made
to
a
higher
standard
now?because
of?advanced
technology
which
was
first
created
to
meet
the
requirements
for
space
exploration.?For
example,?space
technologies
have
helped
the
research
and
development
of
different
types
of
new
material.
They
have
also
helped
companies
make
better
heart?monitors?and
other
machines
that
doctors
regularly
use.
Today,
space
technologies
are
widely
used
in
all
kinds
of
industries,
and
everyday
products
such
as
GPS,memory
foam
pillows,
and
smart
phone
cameras
are
changing
our
lives.
Finally,
sending
astronauts
into
space
has
helped
people
to
think
about
the
world's
problems
and
even
to
find
ways
to
solve
them.
Seeing
pictures
of
our
planet
as
an
island
in
a
black
sea
made
people
realise
that
our
planets
resources
are?limited.
In
order
to
provide
for
such
a
rapidly
increasing
population,
scientists
are
trying
to
find
other
planets
that
could
one
day
be
our
new
home.
The
greatest
attention
at
present
is
on
Mars
because
it
is
closer
to
Earth.
In
the
future
humans
may
live
on
both
planets.
In

provides
the

with

benefits.
Therefore,
it
should
continue
so
as
to
provide

and

to

problems.

The

4

1.
Does

Does

My
opinion:
As
far
as
I
am
concerned,
it
is
worthwhile
to
spend
time
and
money
on
space
exploration.
Firstly,
exploring
space
can
greatly
promote
technological
development.
Sending
aircrafts
into
space
puts
scientists
in
a
situation
where
many
technological
problems
have
to
be
solved.
It
is
very
likely
that
they
will
get
some
inspirations
when
analyzing
these
difficulties.
After
thousands
of
trials,
some
ideas
will
turn
out
to
be
very
useful
inventions,
not
only
for
space
exploration,
but
for
daily
use
as
well.

your

less
than
4
paragraphs
and
polish
it
