Sample answer:

In my opinion, I would like to visit Mars because it is the most realistic planet for future space travel. Next year our school space club is going to make a project about Mars, and I am presenting the planet on Friday.

Mars looks like a red, dry and rocky planet. It has mountains, valleys, craters and polar ice caps. The facts show that Mars is smaller than Earth and has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.

There are many reasons for visiting Mars. You can see Olympus Mons, the biggest volcano in the Solar System, and Valles Marineris, a huge canyon. People are going to study its soil, look for signs of ancient life and test new space technologies there.

I believe people will live on other planets in the future, but it will be very difficult. The problem is that other planets have no comfortable air, water or temperature for humans. I agree that Mars is the best first choice, but I very much doubt whether people will live there easily.
