Complete the text about Nuclear Danger by writing a body paragraph in a Giving Reason Composition.

Nuclear Danger

Nowadays, many countries have been trying to develop nuclear energy. Although there are some benefits
of nuclear energy, it is generally seen as a dangerous substance on earth. Einstein hadnt thought that atomic
particles would be so destructive for earth; however, atom bomb is still a danger for whole world. Nuclear energy is
similar to atom bomb in some ways. There are several disadvantages of using Nuclear energy.

One of the disadvantages of having Nuclear energy is that________________

Even though it brings some benefits for us, its destruction of the earth is unacceptable. We need to use
other natural resources to have energy such as wind power or solar power. Many people may support the usage of
Nuclear energy, but we can stop this harmful event by co-operating. In my opinion, humankind is going to figure out
his mistake and correct it soon.
