Use what you have learnt to write about your opinion
about space exploration.
1. Are these arguments for or against exploring space
A. There are a lot of unsolved mysteries on Earth. So why
are we going into space to explore
B. It is necessary to find a new home for people in space, as
the resourses on Earth will run out.
Against
Use what you have learnt to write about your opinion

D. Exploring space encourages scientists to improve

experience research and experiments when so many
people need food.
Against

3. Get your draft back and revise it.
Sample Writing
Everyone gets excited by the news of the most recent space flights, and I too share in people's sense of awe and wonder at the photos from space that we see. Having said that, it is hard to believe that the high cost of space flight is justified so that we can get some lovely pictures. We should be spending our money more wisely, on what people need. I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food. Around the world, millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation. On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a
Space Exploration is a Waste of Time and Money
dollar a day, a child in Africa can be saved. Considering the billions spent on space travel, it just seems a better investment to feed the hungry.
Some people argue that someday we will have to go live in space because the world will be made impossible to live in
through pollution. This seems silly. When your house gets dirty, you spend the time and money to clean it up. You don't move house simply because you need to wash your windows or vacuum the floor. In the same way, it makes more sense to use our time and money to take care of our planet, rather than look for a new home.
Finally, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries on the earth. So why are we going into space to explore There are still many things to
discover in the ocean depths and the Antarctic. But we do not even have to go that far: Science has yet to unlock all the mysteries of the atom, and there are many realms of technology that we
are just beginning to understand and explore.
In the end, it just does not seem a very wise
investment to go to space. We have too many needs
here on the earth to be wasting our effort on
space exploration.
Thank you!
