Writing task 2, lesson 6: Opinion essay 写作第二部分，第六课：写作观点 Here’s the question and the full essay that you saw in the lesson: 下面是你在视频里看到的问题和写作全文： The money spent by governments on space programmes would be better spent on vital public services such as schools and hospitals. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 政府花费在太空工程里的钱要比花费在学校和医院这些至关重要的公共服务上 更好。你多大程度上同意或者不同意？ Governments in some countries spend large amounts of money on space exploration programmes. I completely agree with the idea that these are a waste of money, and that the funds should be allocated to public services. 一些国家的政府在太空探索工程方面花费大量的钱。 我同意这完全是一种浪费金 钱的行为，并且认为这些资金本应该被分配到公共服务上。 There are several reasons why space programmes should be abandoned. Firstly, it is extremely expensive to train scientists and other staff involved with space missions, and facilities and equipment also come at a huge cost to the government. Secondly, these programmes do not benefit normal people in our daily lives; they are simply vanity projects for politicians. Finally, many missions to space fail completely, and the smallest technological error can cost astronauts their lives. The Challenger space shuttle disaster showed us that space travel is extremely dangerous, and in my opinion it is not worth the risk. 有许多理由可以解释为什么太空工程应该被抛弃。 首先，为太空计划培养科学家 和其他相关工作人员是极其昂贵的， 工厂和设备也给政府造成了巨大的花费。 第 二，这些计划对于普通人的日常生活没有什么益处。那只是政客们的面子工程。 最后要说的是， 很多太空计划都完全失败了， 并且哪怕最小的技术错误也会导致 宇航员丧失他们的生命。 挑战者号空难显示了太空旅行是多么地危险， 我认为这 不值得冒险。 I believe that the money from space programmes should go to vital public services instead. It is much cheaper to train doctors, teachers, police and other public service workers than it is to train astronauts or the scientists and engineers who work on space exploration
