Period Six
Writing: 假如你是Tom,请你根据以下的表格,给一家英文报社编辑写一封信,告诉他你们班同学对克隆的不同观点,并表达自己的看法。
赞成的理由 反对的理由 你的观点
(1)克隆技术可挽救濒危动物; (2)可再造人体器官用来移植,(3)为老年人和病人带来福音 (1)克隆人容易提前衰老或死亡(2)克隆人的出现会使社会混乱
One Possible Version:
Recently in my class there is a heated debate about“To clone or not to clone”.The students for cloning say that cloning can help the wildlife in danger,and we can have more and more wildlife in the world,and it can help the old and the sick,for example,some cloned organs can be tranplanted in their bodies.
However,the students against it say that cloning can speed up the rate of growing old and death.What’s worse, cloning can make our society confused.There would be two or more of you,two and more of your parents and so on.
In my opinion,cloning is new technology,so socientists should do their best to make full use of it to help human beings.
