N UCLEAR ENERGY . Examine the essay for overall organization and for grammatical problems. Note that the question that the student was responding to has been provided. Question: Nuclear energy has become a controversial subject. Some say nuclear energy is a good source of energy. Others claim it poses a serious threat to human life. Comment on each of these viewpoints, and then state your own opinion.Examine the paragraph for overall organization and for grammatical problems. Part I. Overall organization.

Discuss the grammatical problems you see in the paragraph.Nuclear energy is a controversial subject. As the world is developing each day, the source of energy is in great demand. The nuclear energy can provide us with the nuclear power that we so desperately needed. Although it could satisfy our needs, it poses a serious threat to human life. Therefore, nuclear energy is the answer to our needs but a risk to human life.Oil and other resources of energy are limited and will come to an end one day. Sciencetices are trying to create new ways of producing energy and came out with nuclear power. Many experiments were tested and used. At last, they came to the conclusion that nuclear power can be the energy source that we need.Nuclear power are a threat to human life. They may produce energy but they are dangerous. A very good example is the nuclear bomb. No doubt that it produces a great amount of energy but if it were to be used in war or in the wrong hands, it can produce great disaster and many people will suffer.I feel that if there are no other new ways of getting energy resources that is more safe and convenient than nuclear energy, we have no alternative but to use this nuclear power. When our limited energy resources are used up, although it may be dangerous and a threat to human life, we will be forced to use nuclear power. Therefore, in order to solve the threat of human life we must either create a new way of getting energy or create ways of making nuclear energy safer to
