Here is a plan: Beginning: Tell Copernicus who you are and why you want him to publish his ideas. Paragraph 1: Reason 1 and evidence. Paragraph 2: Reason 2 and evidence. Summing up: Ask him to think again about publishing his ideas. One possible version Dear Nicolaus Copernicus, I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons. I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory. I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong. So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory. Yours sincerely, Zhang Hua Surf the Internet and get more information about Copernicus. /Literature/Biographies/Science/Copernicus.htm Finish your “reading task” and “writing task” after class. Revise the whole unit. Finish “Summing up”. Using Language - Reading Writing About Copernicus Do you know what is the center of the solar system? Can you name the nine planets in the solar system?
