Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First of all, transport should be much better.
22、 At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Marsit takes a few months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light.

30、 failureLast term, I took part in an English competition. I thought I was good at English and I would win in the competiton. But in fact, I did really badly in the competiton. I felt so upset and didnt want to say anything. My parents were worried about me. They told me that“Failure is the mother of succes”. They gave me great encouragement. I also learned that I shouldnt give up. Failure is annoying, but what it can teach us may never be taught in other ways. We should learn from the failure.
