Some scientists believe that there must be 1on other planets because the universe is so big. 2.other scientists don' t think so,because plants 3 a very specific environment for life to 4. There are facts that 5 both sides of the argument.

    On the one hand,the universe is 6 . There are billions of stars and thousands of solar systems (太阳系) .Many of these solar systems have pjanets that go round and round a sun like Earth

7 there are so many pl^iets in space,it is 8 that one of these planets could have theright conditions needed for life. Recently,experts found 54 planets similar to Earth. They 9 that one of these planets has the 10 atmosphere (大气层) and temperature needed for life. 11 in our solar system,scientists have found 12 of water on Mars. They believe that this could 13 that there is,or was,a form of very simple life on these planets.

    On the other hand,a planet needs very special 14 to have life. A planet would need to have water,the right temperature and the right mix of (化学物质) in the atmosphere.

In addition, 15 scientists believe that life might exist on other planets,we have never found evidence to 16 it. A recent report 17 that it is very unlikely that there is life on other planets. They believe we don't have enough evidence to 18 whether there is life on other planets.

     in conclusion(综上所迷) ,i do not 19 that there is life on other planets. I do not think that any other planets could have 20 the same conditions as Earth. Therefore,I do not think that there could be life on other planets.
