七上英语作文题目

When the Americans were getting ready to send their first men to the moon, an old

Irishman was watching them on TV in a restaurant.

There was an Englishman in the restaurant too, and he said to the Irishman, “The

Americans are very clever, aren’t they? They are going to send some men to the

moon. It’s a very long way from our world.”

“Oh, that’s nothing,” the Irishman answered quickly. “The Irish are going to send some men to the sun in a few months’ time. That’s much farther away than the moon, you know.”

The Englishman was very surprised when he heard this. “Oh, yes, it is,” he said. “ But the sun is too hot for people to go to.”

The Irishman laughed and answered, “Well, we are not stupid, you know. We won’t go the sun during the day, of course. We’ll go there during the night.”
