Here is a picture of the Earth. It is a cross-sectional view of the earth. The earth looks flat in this picture. It shows people everything on the world. This picture is also very colorful and easy to see what parts they are. It is almost blue in this picture, it maybe the sea. I can see the seas, the islands and the blue sky on the earth.It has the sun in it and the sun is at the edge of the Flat Earth.

This is a picture of the Flat Earth. It just looks like a semicircle in the midair. It shows me some parts of the earth. There are many clouds I can see in it. It's so beautiful. I can see the blue sky, the water and the soil under the ground. It also shows me the deep soil under the ground. If you look at it carefully, you can find that there is a moon on the right corner of the picture. Around the earth, there are some other orbs.


2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?

1.The ground of the earth is flat. We can feel it when we walk on the ground.

2.We can not see the earth is round by using our eyes.

3.We can stand, run and lie on the ground smoothly. We won't slip because the earth is flat.

4.The horizon is a straight line that we see.

5.We can not feel the earth is moving.

3. Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?

I think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today. Everyone may thought the earth was flat in the past, but now many people accept the truth-"The earth is round". Though people used a lot of technologies to search on the earth, people think the earth is round now. People in the past all thought the earth was flat, but the idea has changed now. This makes people confused. It is hard to identify which is right. After all, the nature is mystery to discover. So, it is possible that humans have a false concept of the earth and the universe today.
