人教版高中英语必修第三册 Unit 4 Space Exploration
单元写作任务专项训练
本单元的写作任务是写一篇议论文(an argumentative essay),就“太空探索是否值得”等有争议的话题表达自己的观点。要求文章包含以下部分:
亮明观点(State your opinion):开头直接表明立场;分论点与论据(Arguments and evidence):用两三个分论点支撑观点,配以事实或例子;回应对方(Address the other side):简要回应相反观点;总结(Conclusion):重申观点,发出号召。
在动笔之前,教材为本单元的写作提供了充分的输入与铺垫。阅读输入:Reading and Thinking 的 “Space: The Final Frontier” 梳理了人类探索太空的历程;Reading for Writing 提供了一篇就“太空探索是否浪费钱”展开论证的范文,正反观点交锋清晰。教材引导学生学习议论文的论证结构。
语言输入:教材引导学生关注表达观点的句式(In my opinion… / I firmly believe that…)、列举与递进(First… Second… What's more…)、转折与让步(However… / Admittedly…, but…)以及总结句式(In short… / That is why…),并提示每个分论点都要有论据支撑,避免空喊口号。
写作输出:教材设置了“写议论文”的写作任务——学生先分正反两方展开辩论,再仿照范文把本方观点整理成一篇 80 词左右的短文,与对方互评。本单元的写作任务旨在培养学生运用观点—论据—回应的结构进行说理的能力,学会有理有据地表达立场,同时激发科学精神与探索未知的热情。

Should Students Use AI to Study?
Recently our school has debated whether students should use AI tools in study. In my opinion, AI is a helpful assistant, not a replacement for thinking.
AI can explain difficult problems step by step and offer practice at any time. However, if we copy its answers, we will never really learn. The tool is only as good as the way we use it.
So my suggestion is simple: try first, then ask AI. Let the machine help us think, not think for us.

Space Exploration Is Worth Every Penny
Some people say exploring space is a waste of money on Earth. I disagree.
First, space technology has already changed our lives: weather satellites warn us of storms, and GPS guides us home. Second, exploring space pushes science forward and creates jobs and new industries. Third, it reminds us that our planet is small and precious.
Giving up the stars would not feed the hungry; wiser spending would. Space exploration is an investment, not a waste.

Protect Our Blue Planet
Hello, everyone. Astronauts say that from space, the Earth looks like a blue ball hanging in darkness. There is no other home in sight.
Seeing that picture, I asked myself: why do we pollute the only home we have? Every plastic bag we throw away may end up in the sea. There is no “away” on a small planet.
So start small: save water, sort your rubbish, and use less plastic. Protecting the Earth is protecting ourselves. Thank you!

Dear Chris,
Thanks for your last letter. You asked about China's space programme, so let me share some exciting news.
Our space station is now fully built, and astronauts take turns living and doing research there. Last year, Chinese astronauts gave a live science lesson from space, and millions of students watched.
I dream of becoming an engineer in this field one day. Dreams, like rockets, need a strong push every day, so I am working hard at maths and physics now.
Yours,
Li Hua
