本单元的写作项目是写一篇科幻故事。 科幻故事是开放式作文的一种，一般给出一段材料，要求我们充分发挥想象力来拓展原材料内容，运用逻辑推理的方法，沿着材料的纵横方向延伸，给故事添加开头、中间过程或结尾。想象必须合理而且内容丰富，要抓住主题，运用恰当的词汇、句型与语句间的连接成分写出连贯的表达，语言要流畅、具有美感。其基本框架为：
The Time Traveller stops in the year 802701.The whole earth looks like a garden with beautiful, happy people called Eloi who play all the time, but this hides a horrible truth: there is a whole world of people called Morlocks who live underground in a dark, mechanised society who use the Eloi as a source of food.The Time Traveller meets an Eloi woman and falls in love with her.The Time Traveller and the Eloi woman are attacked by Morlocks. He is able to escape, but he loses contact with the woman and perhaps she is killed.
Example:
The Morlocks then steal the Time Machine and use it as bait to capture and kill the Time Traveller. However, once he is in the Time Machine, he pulls the lever and begins to travel in time again and is able to make his escape. He travels 30 million years into the future to see the sun cool and the earth turn into a lifeless planet. He then travels back to the time from where he started out, only to find that three hours have passed.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for attending our company’s news conference. With the development of the economy, people have to face various pressures, who don’t have enough time to attend to the elderly in their family, leading to a serious social problem.
To tackle this problem, we bring out the household robot designed to take care of old people. Not only can it cook meals at a fixed time, but it can also accompany old people to kill boring times, such as chatting with them. Moreover, it can deal with emergencies.
I do believe that it would be a great help for you to own such a robot.
Thank you.
