2月5日·海外托福写作范文+分析| 太空探索

2.5日海外

教授This week, we will be discussing space exploration. Some people think that it is a waste of money for governments to fund space exploration. Others disagree with this view arguing that space exploration is a valuable and necessary investment for our future. They think that it is worthy for governments to fund space exploration. I want to know what you think about this topic. Do you think that governments should fund space exploration? Why or why not?

Kelly:I don't think that governments should fund space exploration because it will be too costly to build spaceships and develop related technologies. Though space exploration tech costs billions, it doesn't offer direct benefits to most people, which makes its funding a controversial issue.

Andrew:Personally, I do think that all the costs will be worth it. The potential scientific discoveries and technological advancements could have far-reaching impacts that justify the initial investment. Imagine the new inventions that might come from this exploration. Such technology could greatly improve our everyday lives.

审题注意点:

1.这道是个老题了，重复了24.4.6日老题。比较有难度.

2. 题目翻译:

教授：本周我们将讨论太空探索。有人认为政府资助太空探索是浪费金钱。然而，也有人持不同观点，认为太空探索是对我们未来有价值和必要的投资。他们认为政府应该资助太空探索。我想知道你对这个话题有什么看法。你认为政府应该资助太空探索吗？为什么或者为什么不？

(3). 审题注意点：

1.Do you think that governments should fund space exploration? Why or why not?比较传统的利弊题型。

2. government fund:联系团里讲解的政府投资思路/语料。

👩🏻‍🏫：这个题目从正面去写space travel的内容，需要有大量的知识储备，反而从政府角度会容易一些。

3. space travel:满足人类的好奇心。

4. space exploration:比如探索金星，火星上是否有生命，他们是如何变成现在这样的。是否有人类需要的资源：能源，空间资源。人类是否可以移民过去….

参考提纲一：

我同意kelly的观点。探索外太空会给政府带来沉重的经济负担。因为太空探索需要庞大的资金投入。比如，仅仅是修造一个太空飞船就需要上万的科学家，工程师和工人来多年的投入。但是，另一方面，政府的资金是有限的。如果花了大量的资金在太空探索上，就没有足够的资金来投入其他更重要，更紧急的项目，比如教育，医疗和就业。所以，我觉得这不是一个好的政策。

参考提纲二：

我觉得这是一个好政策。投资外太空有利于现在的人类。比如，很多用于太空的科技也可以用于现在。比如纳米材料，做航天服的材料可以用在极端环境下工作的人类，比如沙漠和极地地区。

参考范文：

I agree with Kelly's perspective that governments should not allocate funds to space exploration.First, these ventures require massive financial investment, often running into billions, which would unduly strain a government's budget.For instance,developing a single advanced spaceship involves the collective expertise of numerous scientists, engineers, and builders, working for years and requiring highly specialized equipment and materials.

Second, the issue of budget constraints.Governments operateon limited budgetsand mustprioritize sectorsthat directly impact the well-being of their citizens,such as education, healthcare, and environmental protection. Allocating significant funds to space projects would inevitably mean reducing investment in these critical areas. This would have real-life implications;for instance,underfunded educational systems could affect the future prospects of young people relying on student loans, and insufficient healthcare could endanger the lives of vulnerable populations.

In conclusion, although space exploration is an exciting endeavor, it should not be a priority for government funding, given the immediate needs and financial constraints faced by most nations.Therefore, it is prudent for governments to defer such ambitious projects until more urgent needs are met.
