二、审题建模(动笔前先想清楚这五件事)
项目
写作要点
体裁
议论文(英文报投稿,讨论类),四段式:立场—理由1—理由2—结论。
人称
以第一人称(I)表明立场,用 we / mankind 谈人类整体。

八、范文赏析
【参考范文】
Is Space Exploration Worth the Money?
Whenever a rocket lifts off, someone asks the same question: could this money have been better spent on the ground? My answer is yes—it is worth it, and not for the reason most people think.
First, space research pays us back in ways we rarely notice. Satellites guide our buses, warn us of typhoons and connect calls across oceans. Materials developed for spacecraft now keep food fresh and make artificial limbs lighter. In other words, the money does not disappear into the sky; it comes back as technology we use every day.
Second, exploration is how a species survives. The earth has limited resources and a long history of disasters. Learning to live beyond it is not an escape but an insurance policy for our grandchildren.
Of course, there are those who argue that the money should be spent on hospitals and schools. They have a point—but the choice is not either/or. A country can build both, as China has done. The question is not whether we can afford to explore, but whether we can afford to stop.
【学生习作】
Is Space Exploration Worth the Money?
Some people think space exploration is a waste of money. I don't think so. I think it is very important.
First, it can help us. We use satellites every day. We can watch TV and use maps. This is very good for our life.
Second, it is interesting. Many young people like space. They want to be astronauts. It can make them study hard.
So I think we should explore space. It is good for us.
【自我修改清单】(写完对照检查)
□ 第一段是否明确亮出了立场?
□ 两条理由是否各有“证据”(技术、数据、具体任务)?
□ 是否使用了 First / Second / In other words 等衔接词?
□ 是否承认并回应了反方观点?
□ 有没有用至少一个从句、一个非谓语动词、一个倒装或强调句?
□ 结尾是否有一句有力的收束,而不是简单重复开头?

Dear Eric,
I'm writing to invite you to join our Space Club, which is looking for new members this term.
The club meets every Friday afternoon. We watch documentaries about space missions, build model rockets and, once a month, visit the science museum to see real spacecraft. Last term we even talked with a young engineer online and asked her what it is like to work for a space programme. No experience is needed—curiosity is enough.
If you are interested, please fill in the form on the club's website before next Wednesday. I'm sure you will find it rewarding.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

Is Space Exploration Worth the Money?
Whenever a rocket lifts off, someone asks the same question: could this money have been better spent on the ground? My answer is yes—it is worth it, and not for the reason most people think.
First, space research pays us back in ways we rarely notice. Satellites guide our buses, warn us of typhoons and connect calls across oceans. Materials developed for spacecraft now keep food fresh and make artificial limbs lighter. In other words, the money does not disappear into the sky; it comes back as technology we use every day.
Second, exploration is how a species survives. The earth has limited resources and a long history of disasters. Learning to live beyond it is not an escape but an insurance policy for our grandchildren.
Of course, there are those who argue that the money should be spent on hospitals and schools. They have a point—but the choice is not either/or. A country can build both, as China has done. The question is not whether we can afford to explore, but whether we can afford to stop.

Is Space Exploration Worth the Money?
Some people think space exploration is a waste of money. I don't think so. I think it is very important.
First, it can help us. We use satellites every day. We can watch TV and use maps. This is very good for our life.
Second, it is interesting. Many young people like space. They want to be astronauts. It can make them study hard.
So I think we should explore space. It is good for us.
【习作点评】
优点:立场明确,两条理由清楚,能举出卫星、地图等生活例子,结构是标准的四段式,没有跑题,语言基本正确。
问题一:理由停留在“有用”“有趣”,没有解释“为什么有用”。“We use satellites every day”只是陈述,应补一句“它们为轮船导航、预警台风,救了很多人”。
问题二:缺少具体事例与数据。全文没有一个年份、一个任务、一项技术,说服力弱;加入“神舟”“北斗”“天宫”等具体名词,分量立刻不同。
问题三:句式单一,全是“主语 + 动词”的短句,没有从句、非谓语和连接词,读起来像罗列清单。
问题四:没有回应反方观点。议论文若不处理“钱不如花在地面”的质疑,立场就显得单薄;应加一句让步再反驳。

【写作指导:本单元写作的三个得分点】
得分点一:把“有用”写成“看得见”。写“satellites are useful”是 6 分,写“satellites guide our buses, warn us of typhoons and connect calls across oceans”是 12 分——三个具体场景,胜过十个形容词。
得分点二:议论文要“接住”反方。用 Of course, there are those who argue that… 让步,再用 but the choice is not either/or 反驳,一句就把思维层次拉开。
得分点三:本单元词块要用够。launch a satellite、go into orbit、make a breakthrough、make contributions to、in the long run、explore the unknown 至少出现 5 个,结尾用 The question is not whether…but whether… 收束,气势与逻辑兼备。
