Second, more resources will be found. I think the moon may have some special kind of energy resources that can be useful to Earth. It just takes time for scientists to find it.
Third, people may live and work there. Tourists will also be able to visit. I want to be one of the first visitors. I hope that one day we humans can spend holidays in space and explore the universe.

build a space station on the moon
I’m most interested in building a space station on the moon.

send a spacecraft to the nearest star
I’m most interested in sending a spacecraft to the nearest star.
Because it’s such a big challenge, and it would help us learn so much about stars and the universe. I love the idea of exploring the unknown!
search for life in the solar system
I’m most interested in searching for life in the solar system.
Because it’s super exciting to wonder if there’s life on other planets, like Mars. Finding life would totally change how we see the world!
build a satellite to collect the sun’s energy and send it to Earth
I’m most interested in building a satellite to collect solar energy and send it to Earth.
Because we really need clean energy, right? This could give us more green power and help protect our planet. That’s really useful!
After the discussion, the team leader says to you:

三阶 成篇章 赏美文
句子中filled me with”比“I am curious”更生动;“collect...and send...”动词连用,动作清晰
The universe has always filled me with curiosity, and my space dream is to build a special satellite to collect solar energy and send it back to Earth.
First, our planet is facing serious energy shortages, so clean solar power from space could be a perfect solution.
句子先用“unlike”对比,再陈述优势,最后用“providing”补充结果;
Second, unlike solar panels on Earth, this satellite can work 24 hours a day without being affected by weather, providing a steady supply of green energy to us anytime.
Third, using space solar energy is good for the environment, which will help reduce pollution and slow down global warming.
Humans have achieved many things that were once only dreams. I hope one day my satellite will shine light on every corner of the world.
“shine light on”双关:既指实际照亮(太阳能发电),也象征带来希望;画面感极强
From the story of Chang’e to the real Chang’e missions, from Tiangong space station to a future moon base — China is making dreams come true. Today, you didn’t just write an essay. You wrote a proposal. Maybe one day, you will be a space engineer, a designer, or even walk on the moon.
