What do you think about time travel? Please write 5 or more sentences on your opinion.
Ms. Nanna's example:
I think that time travel does exist. I can choose to mentally time travel if I can read. Through books I get to visit strange and exotic lands that take place in the past, present, and future. I can emotionally time travel if I think an event that has happened in my life. Pretty soon I think scientist will solve the physical time travel question. With time and science, I believe that anything is possible, even time travel.
