范例答案　Yeah, but only to a certain extent. Back in middle school, I learnt some basic astronomy in physics class, like the eight planets in the solar system. Apart from that, most of what I know comes from the news whenever China successfully launches a manned spacecraft, which always catches my attention.

Recently, I have been really into a Chinese sci fi movie called The Wandering Earth, which explores what humanity might do when Earth is facing a crisis.

范例答案　If money and physical fitness were not an issue, then absolutely, I would jump at the chance. Exploring outer space sounds like a once in a lifetime experience. That being said, I know astronauts have to be in peak physical condition, so realistically speaking, I am not sure I would make the cut.
