SAMPLE ESSAY:

Space exploration is undoubtedly very important and has

resulted in many of the amazing technologies that we
cannot live without today. However, in my opinion,
governments should spend their budget on other things
that are more important for their citizens, like improving
healthcare and developing infrastructure. This essay will
explain why these areas are worth investing in, than
space exploration.

Firstly, if a government uses its space exploration budget

to improve its healthcare system, it will benefit everyone.
For example, the healthcare system in Cambodia is an
area of major concern due to its increasing expenses. It
will be better if such a large sum of money can be used
to cover the medical bills of every Cambodian. Moreover,
hospitals need money to improve their facilities and buy
new equipment. If people are healthy, the country’s
working rate will improve too.

Secondly, every government should spend more on

infrastructure such as school buildings and roads. Once
schools are built and fully equipped with the latest
facilities, the students’ capacity to achieve will soon be
seen. Cambodia’s civil wars have left many of its roads
damaged. Therefore, it is important to rebuild those
roads because roads are like veins without which a
country cannot fully function. Better the infrastructure,
better the quality of life will be.

In conclusion, despite the valuable technologies that

humans can get from space exploration, I believe that
governments should focus on improving their citizens’
living standards first. As people clearly need better
healthcare and well-developed infrastructure, far more
than space technologies, governments should spend
their billions on such things.
