Topic 1:

Write a persuasive composition whether Copernicus should publish his ideas when he is still alive. “Copernicus received a letter from Li Ming, a representative student of our school, persuading him to publish his ideas when he is still alive. Copernicus would like to listen to our opinions, according to which he will make a final decision. Let's express our own opinions and write to Copernicus.”

Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,

I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.

I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory.

I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show whether your ideas are right or wrong.

So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory.
