- Space exploration is a waste of money? (IELTS writing essay) Space exploration is said to be bound to the future of humanity, due to the depletion of mineral resources and fossil fuels in our plantet, scientific comunity, private companies and some governments see space as a profitable interesting choice. The discovery of planets and asteroids riches in sellable mineral resources could mean in our near future a worth bussines venture for new recklessness bussiness owners. Considering that, exploitation, transport and commercialisation of those resources would encourage to set up new sort of business around those areas. That would be very worth for our global economy. But as all good ideas, there are disadvantages, the main handicap with this topic is that it is knowed that by the time we will be able to create the technology to pull out resources in space, humanity is likely to be dead. Because Science are quite far away finding this technology yet. What's more, there are another cleaner alternatives for generate energy inside Earth and the technology to built them are cheaper and faster to be developed than space engineering. In fact I don't understand why Earth governments won't economically streghthen those initiatives, After all the cheaper and faster they were the better. So I think that to spent too much money in space exploration is a waste keeping in mind that it won't resolve our global economic problems in short-term. In conclusion I think that space exploration is good for science fiction novels and movies or as a way to improve our knowledge about cosmos, but in our present world there is no use in it as a economical profit. We should focus to find new urgent alternatives to face our resources shortage inside our planet besides those being respectful with environment. Earth is the best spacecraft we know after all, so we should start to look it after better.February 4, 201700

I'm studiying English now and I,m not very good writing in English. so, I apologize because I'm likely to make grammar mistakes, but I think that this is a good way to improve our language skills toghether.
Saludos desde Japón
Hola! Mi nombre es Samantha. Yo soy de Canadá pero vivo en Japón. Me gusta leer, --- ciclismo y viendo la televisión. He estudiado a español durante uno semana. El español es muy diferente de inglés y japónes. Estudiar español es divertido.Underlined colour meaning:
-Green: The grammar structure It's fine, but this expression in colloquial Spanish sounds a little strange.
-Yellow: Grammar mistake.
-Grammar advices:
1."Hola!" --> In Spanish language we use two different symbols for the exclamation mark. The first ( ¡ ) goes at the beginning of the exclamation sentence, the second ( ! ) goes at the end of the exclamation sentence. In this case, the correct form to write the exclamation phrase would be: (¡Hola!)
2. "Yo soy de Canadá"--> The structure is correct but in Spanish language you needn't write the Personal Pronoun at the beginning of this sentence. You can leave it out if you want, because It sounds better and more natural. e.g. (Soy de Canadá)
3. --- ciclismo --> In Spanish we usually write a definite article before the noum (El, la, los las) which depends on the genre of the noum. e.g. (el ciclismo)
-Or you can use the verb "hacer" in infinitive form before the noum . e.g (hacer ciclismo) I think this form to write the phrase is better than the first who I explained you. But you can use both if you want.
4. "Viendo" --> In this case, you have made a conjugation mistake. The correct way to conjugate the verb in this particular case is using the spanish infinitive. e.g. (ver la televisión)
5. "He estudiado a español"--> You musn't write any preposition here, Beacuse you needn't. The correct form to write this (He estudiado español)
6. "durante uno semana" --> Numbers in spannish have a genre which depends on the noum, in this phrase "semana" it is feminine, so you should write: (durante una semana)
7. "de inglés" --> In spanish there is a grammar contraction for that structure (de+el =del). e.g (del inglés)
