The Advantages and disadvantages of Space Travel

There are several advantages of space travel. First of all, it could provide man with new places to live in and new sources of energy. In addition, space travel helps people understand the universe better. Also space travel research does good to other research fields.

However, space travel also has some disadvantages. It uses up too much money which could be spent in other ways. What’s more, the idea of man living on other planets is unrealistic. Space travel could be dangerous, too.

In a word, though there are the disadvantages, I think space travel is a good thing. It is important for man to explore and learn about the universe.

通过问题引导学生对文章结构框架的学习：

1. Where does the author’s opinion lie?(作者的观点是在哪一段提出来的？)

2. What are the differences between the passage and yours , and which one is better ? (你的文章与范文有什么区别，谁的更好？)

3. What the use of the last paragraph?(文章最后一段起什么作用？)

（意图：对比自己的提纲和短文的提纲，查找差异并对自己的提纲作出改进。）

1. 作者是怎样提出自己的观点的？

2. 作者是怎样陈述自己的理由的？

Step 5呈现第二篇短文，小组讨论并归纳文章结构和实用的字词、语句。

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you about a recent discussion our class have had on whether or not university students should be financially independent.

60% of the students think that university students don’t have to be financially independent, because trying to make money will affect their studies. They also think that they can repay their parents in the future.

25% of my classmates hold the view that doing part-time jobs will help one gain work experience and learn more of society. Besides, when students find it hard to make money, they won’t waste their money any longer.

15% of the students, including myself, partly agree with the opinions above. Personally I think that as grownups, we should not depend on our parents any more. However, if our parents can afford to pay the tuition for us, we should put our studies in the first place. Thank you for reading my letter

Yours, Li Hua

（意图：短文的学习，逐步加强学生对文章的语篇分析理解技能的训练，以便于在下一步自己的写作过程中，学生自己模仿。）
