Homework:
Recite the passage.
Writing Finish off writing B3.
Sample answer:
It is clear that many exciting things will happen in the development of space exploration in the future. I think manned space missions to Mars will happen in my lifetime and a permanent base on Mars will also be established.
Hopefully, new energy sources will be developed, which will make space flight cheaper and faster. But how soon and how far we advance in developing the required technology to do so depends on the collaboration between the many countries around the world. It is possible that the technology will be available before 2040 and I am looking forward to that.
