Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.Paragraph 1 (Text 2)To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration is important fo

Therefore, more research is necessary.Argumentative essayArgument, evidence, restatement / recommendation /

4、 a call to actionText 1When people talk of exploring the sea more, they usually mean exploiting it. Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010. Plas

5、tic pollution is also bad, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water.Read the two texts below and find the arguments and evidence in them.Mining for resources is very damaging, especially in the Arctic. Because of climate change, there is less ice now, which means we can

6、look for more fossil fuels further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue. Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong. Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so-called research. Altho

7、ugh this was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy.The sea is home to life, not human beings possessions. It is huge, but it is more sensitive than we think. If we do not protect it, future generations will not forgive us.Arguments1 Exploratio

9、ruly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration is important for our future. For example, scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change. We need to understand what is happening to our

10、planet so that we can take action. Therefore, more research is necessary.Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and

11、energy. Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes.The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals.Of cour

12、se, there are still environmental risks. However, these should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we may have more options for managing this balance.Arguments1 Sea exploration is important for our future.2 Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its

13、 resources better.3 We need new resources for future development.l Scientific research s h i p s c a n h e l p address important issues like climate change.l New medicines, food resources and energy.l Predict events such as earthquakes.l Vast amounts of resources may be under the sea and ice.Evidenc

16、ss the following questions and take notes.1 What is your opinion about sea exploration?

17、 thing.In groups, discuss the following questions and take notes.2 Has your opinion changed after reading the two texts? Why or why not?Yes, my opinion has changed. Before reading Text 1, I did not know that sea exploration could add to sea pollution, via deep sea drilling for example.In groups, dis

18、cuss the following questions and take notes.3 Are there any other aspects of sea exploration not mentioned that you think are important?We do not know what we dont know; We need to explore the ocean so that we can better understand issues such as acidification which leads to seawater to become more

19、acidic, and how to fight these problems; Studying the ocean causes the creation of new technologies that can help us in other areas.Based on your note, write an argumentative essay on sea exploration, expressing your opinions with supporting facts.1 The following questions may help you.lWhat is the

20、purpose of sea exploration?lHow does sea exploration help us to protect the sea?lHow does sea exploration cause damage to the sea?lIs there a good balance between protection and exploitation?2 Use the PEEL method to help structure your argument.PointWhat point do you want to make?EvidenceWhat facts

21、and examples can you find to support your point? How reliable are the sources?ExplanationExplain how the facts support your opinion and show other opinions to be incorrect.LinkConnect this point to the next point, or back to the main point of the essay or paragraph.3 Write your draft and exchange it

22、 with a partner.4 Get your feedback and revise your draft. Even though the oceans make up about 70% of the earths surface, more than 80% of the oceans remain unexplored. While some people say that we should not explore the oceans, their reasoning is not very sound. Exploring is not the same as explo

23、iting. When we explore a place, we go just to see and understand what is there.We should explore the ocean, first and foremost, because we do not know what we do not know. We thought we knew many about the ocean, but we were wrong. There could be life forms in the ocean, for example, that fit none o

24、f the neat categories we have for life while we have no clue that they even exist.This brings up the second point. We already know many things about the ocean, but we need to learn more. A good example is ocean acidification. We know that it is causing coral Sample WritingFinally, to do this researc

25、h, we have to enter an extreme environment not very friendly to humans. This requires the development of new technologies that can also benefit us in other areas. For example, in many ways, the deep ocean resembles outer space. The technologies can benefit each other. For another instance, the techn

If we care about science, about protecting our oceans, and about developing new technologies, we need to do all w

27、e can to support ocean exploration. to die. We know that using less fossil fuel would cause the process to slow down. However, we need to learn more to find out how to stop it.
