These changes happened because AI tools were brought in. By using AI, teachers at the school come up with personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams to help each student in different ways. After students finish studying a unit, AI helps to pick different questions from an online database (数据库). ________ Firstly, students complete the exercises created by AI. Then, teachers use the AI tool for grading. The tool provides data and graphics (图表) to help teachers understand both the whole class’s performance and each student’s progress. After that, according to their performance in the exams, students can get a personalized error log (错题日志) or homework made by AI. So students can spend less time on what they already know and study what they don’t know. Finally, students can visit the AI system in the class. Some may ask AI to find more similar questions for key points of the lesson. Some ask AI to give them harder questions. They can even choose to print them out. How do students feel? We don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books anymore. —He Liyan,14 Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she finds out the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help. —Wang Dinghan, 15 I used to have a notebook where I wrote down my mistakes so that I could remember them. But now. AI does it for me! It’s really convenient (便利的) and useful! —Yu Zifu,15 34.

These changes happened because AI tools were brought in. By using AI, teachers at the school come up with personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams to help each student in different ways. After students finish studying a unit, AI helps to pick different questions from an online database (数据库). ________ Firstly, students complete the exercises created by AI. Then, teachers use the AI tool for grading. The tool provides data and graphics (图表) to help teachers understand both the whole class’s performance and each student’s progress. After that, according to their performance in the exams, students can get a personalized error log (错题日志) or homework made by AI. So students can spend less time on what they already know and study what they don’t know. Finally, students can visit the AI system in the class. Some may ask AI to find more similar questions for key points of the lesson. Some ask AI to give them harder questions. They can even choose to print them out. How do students feel? We don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books anymore. —He Liyan,14 Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she finds out the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help. —Wang Dinghan, 15 I used to have a notebook where I wrote down my mistakes so that I could remember them. But now. AI does it for me! It’s really convenient (便利的) and useful! —Yu Zifu,15 34.
