关于进行太空投资的雅思作文范文

　　For over fifty years, a number of nations have been involved in the exploration of outer space. This research has been very costly. Has this money been well-spent or wasted?

　　Some people believe that the research should be eliminated because of its expense, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of the scientific and human resources. These people point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to send astronauts to the moon, but they just brought back worthless rocks. These people say that the money and effort could be spent on more important projects right here on the earth,such as providing housing for homeless people, improving the education system, saving the environment, and finding cures for diseases.

　　However, other people believe that space research has provided many benefits. They point out that hundreds of useful products, from personal computers to heart pacemakers to freeze-dried foods, are the direct or indirect results of space research. They say that weather and communication satellites are also products of space programs. In addition, supporters of the space program point to the scientific knowledge that has been acquired about the sun, the moon, the planets, and even our own earth as a result of space research.

　　I agree with those people who support space research. Space research, has already brought many benefits to humanity. Perhaps it will bring even more unimaginable benefits in the future. Moreover, just as individual people need challenges to make their lives more interesting, I believe the human race itself needs a challenge, and I think that the peaceful exploration of outer space provides just such a challenge.

　　广州启德教育资深老师解析：辩论型题目，使用对称式结构，一共写了四段，开头段改写了题目，第二段是从资源的合理运用的角度反对太空研究， 第三段从人类已获得的巨大益处阐述了来支持太空研究，第四段表达自己的观点和第三段是一样的。全文语言很不错。

　　在过去的五十年间，大批的国家致力于外太空的研究。这项研究耗资巨大。这是物有所值还是一种浪费呢？

　　一些人认为这项研究因为其在金钱、科技和人力等方面所需要付出的代价而应停止。这些人指出花费了数十亿美金去将宇航员送到月球，但是他们仅仅带回来无用的岩石。这些人说这些资金和努力在地球上能被用于更重要的项目，例如为无家可归的人们提供住房，改善教育体制，保护环境和为疾病找到治疗方法。然而，另一些人认为对空间的探索已经给人们带来了巨大的益处。他们提到了许多有用的产品，从个人电脑到心脏起搏器，又至冷冻食品，这些都是太空研究直接或者间接的结果。这些人还指出气象和通讯卫星也是太空研究的产物。此外，太空项目的支持者们也指出那些已知的有关太阳、月亮、行星，甚至我们的地球的知识本身就是太空研究的产物。

　　我同意那些支持太空研究的人们的观点。太空研究已经为人类带来了巨大的益处。未来它可能会带来更加想象不到的好处。此外，就像单独的个体需要挑战他们的生活以得到更多的乐趣，我相信人类本身就需要挑战，而和平的外太空探索就恰好为我们提供了这样一个挑战。
