Original

I think the nuclear weapon is not good and everyone should lose them because the nuclear weapon kill many people, and also if someone use the nuclear weapon that area can’t live people, and the space on the earth will be less and less — people cannot live on the earth. And more nuclear weapon will cause wars, and when the wars happened many people will die; the people will have a trouble. A leader of a country need to take care of the people of his country, and he mustn’t let his people feel hungry, or unsafe.

And more nuclear weapons will cause more wars, and when the wars happen many people will die; the people will have a trouble.

Original

I think there also some kind of living things in the universe – because the universe is very big and there are many planets in it. Our people just explored very little and there also many other planets that we didn’t explore and those planets maybe have the living things on them. We can’t find them because they are far away from we and our technology – we don’t have enough technology to reach their planets that they live so we can’t find them now.

I think there are also some kind of living things in the universe – because the universe is very big and there are many planets in/within it. Our people have just explored very little of it and there are also many other planets that we haven’t explored and those planets may have the living things on them. We can’t find them because they are far away from us/our planet and our technology – we don’t have enough technology to reach the planets that they live so we can’t find them now.
