参考范文
I would be happy to accept the chance to travel to the moon.But if I visited the moon,perhaps I would face many problems.One of the problems I might have:How should I stop my food floating away.I would have to take all my food with me if I went to the moon.As far as we know,in the spaceship there is no gravity so the food would float around if it was solid.So I would make sure that it is specially made as liquid space food.I can put my liquid space food in a cub and then I would be able to eat it more easily.Perhaps I would use a straw to eat it.It would solve the problem.
