| Pollution, climate change, and the overuse of natural resources are the 3 things that are making Earth unlivable everyday. |
Inference: Use Clues from the Text to Think of an Answer

| There are some difficulties that humans would face if there was a move to Mars like oxygen and water. Since the oxygen in Mars is so thin, it’ll make it riskier and the lack of water. |
| Because the large amount of carbon dioxide could be used by those plants during photosynthesis to convert the atmosphere into oxygen making Mars more suitable for survival. |

Would you want to be one of the first people living on Mars?
Come up with solid reasons for your choice, and provide evidence, and examples to support your reasons.
| I’d like to be one of the first people to be on Mars because I want to experience new things and see things that you wouldn’t normally see here on earth. I wanna be able to see Mars before anyone else because what if Mars changes after people start coming on? I also want to be the first person on Mars because I think it would be interesting to experience Mars without anyone else telling me about it. Like if somebody has seen Mars and told you what it looks like. It’s like trying something new everyday and I’d like to experience it for the first time without knowing anything about it. I want to be one of the firsts because I think the concept of living on Mars is fascinating so i think it’d be pretty cool to be one of the firsts. |
