Now brainstorm the possible advantages and disadvantages of Robots. Advantages Disadvantages To improve efficiency Bring convience Remote control Old people may can’t get hang of robots Robots may can’t fully realize our expression Lead to information leakage Expensive Kill people conquer the earth lead to unemployment With the development of technology, a variety of intelligent machines such as robots have been invented so far. It is obvious that these smart machines are being used to take the place of human beings, which will leads to controversy(争议) /ˈkɒntrəvɜːsi/ as there are advantages and disadvantages regarding this issue. On the one hand, these intelligent machines play a major role in our society, because the application of them has provided people with many benefits over the years. For example, , the latest robots are able to help us finish some life-threatening(威胁生命的) tasks we had to do by ourselves before. Moreover, a number of doctors are using robots to operate accurately and save time. Should We Let Robots Take Over The World ? On the other hand, despite the fact that intelligent machines apply a positive influence to society, there are negative perspectives /pəˈ spektɪvz/(看法) as well. Robots are running on what they are programed（设定）, which means they cannot think by themselves. In addition, the rate of unemployment has becoming higher because many companies are replacing manual /ˈmænjuəl/ (手工的) labour with robots. Personally, intelligent machines do help people live a convenient life though they may bring some problems. However, I will always look on the positive side of robot and accept it rather than resist it. 16 Thank you 17 $$
