INTRODUCTION
General topic 1 (space): In recent years/ decades several countries have invested a lot of money in space study.

My opinion: From my point of view, such budget should be better used for earth problems.
BODY
Point of view 1: To begin with, more funds should be invested in solving/ dealing with poverty.

This is the reason why we need/ ought to/ had better offer financial support in order to improve/ enhance their quality of life/ life conditions.
Point of view 2: In addition to this, medical also needs more investment. To make it clearer/ To be more detailed there are many fatal/ incurable diseases these days such as AIDS or cancer and so on. Studies have shown that the number of victims is increasing at an alarming rate. For this reason/ This is the reason why more money needs to be allocated in order to/ so as to find out treatments/ remedies for saving people.
CONCLUSION
Confirm your own ideas again (in another way): To put it in a nutshell, although it is believed that outer space investment can give us more resources and living space in the future, it is only the hope until now. In the meantime, money ought to be better to put in the real/ practical difficulties human beings face every day.

Some people may claim that exploring space will sooner or later helps us to find another livable planet. However / Unluckily, billions of dollars have been wasted on space discovery without any realistic result so far. It is sensible to divert that big sum of money to helping the needy people as well as protecting the earth.

Some people may claim that class attendance should be optional. This is because it can allow students to have free time to do part time job in order to not only gain experience but also cover the daily expense/ living conditions. However/Neverthless, reality has shown that students who often skip classes have poor academic performance. More seriously, they are usually kicked out of school early.
