We had an argument over whether it is necessary to carry out outer space explorations at a class meeting the other day.Different students have different attitudes towards it. Some of us think it’s important to research the outer space.First of all，people can get a better understanding of the outer space through their exploration.Secondly，new resources can be found there for human being.Thirdly，this exploration can possibly bring about new living space for human life in the near future. However，others are strongly against it.They believe that it takes so much money to do this kind of exploration，which is not worth the value.Besides，it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work in the outer space. In my opinion，people should be pioneering，and therefore such explorations into the outer space are worth trying out. 参考范文 7.Summary 1.I’d love to know ...我很想知道…… 2.Well, I’d really like to find out ...嗯，我真的想弄清楚…… 3.I’m most curious about ...我对…… 最好奇 4.I’m very keen to know ...我非常渴望知道…… 5.I hope you won’t mind me asking about ...希望你不介意我询问…… 6.I wonder how/what/why/...我想知道如何 / 什么 / 为什么…… 7.I’d particularly like to know ...我尤其想知道…… 8.I’m most interested to discover ...我最感兴趣的是发现…… 9.I wish to know ...我想知道…… EXPRESSING CURIOSITY 1.Argumentative essay structure: Introduction → Main body (3 arguments) → Conclusion 2.Arguments for space exploration: Help fight world hunger Promote technological improvements Think about global problems & seek new living space 8.Homework 基础巩固层（必做） 听力原文填空 I’ve gotten used to floating around just ________________________.
