Present the writing requirements. Writing requirements: Use what you have learnt to express your opinion in an essay about the changes that could be caused by advances in technology by following the example of the text you have read. 2. Make writing preparations. 1) Work in groups. Brainstorm a future advance in technology, and its possible advantages and disadvantages by filling in the form. Advance in technology Advantage Disadvantage Introduce the advance in technology. 1. ….; 2. ….. 1. ….; 2. ….. 2) Think about the answers to the following two questions. Why do you want to write about this topic? What’s your own opinion on the topic? 3) Think and talk about how you will organize your essay by following the example of the text structure you have read. (1) Text structure and paragraph organization. (2) Useful expressions and signpost. (hence, nevertheless, on the one hand,…on the other hand, for example, moreover, also, personally, of course) 3. Read the sample writing for reference. The other day, I read about a company developing companion robots. These are robots that are supposed to be friends for people who live alone. Some of these companion robots are actually like small pets that a person can talk to and interact with. But unlike real pets, they do not have to feed them or take them for a walk. However, this company is also developing a companion robot that is exactly like a human being. It can walk and talk just like a person does. This all got me to think. On the one hand, some people could say that a companion robot like this is good for us. For example, if someone old lives alone and seldom goes out, a companion robot could provide him or her a lot of comfort and enrich his or her life. Further, the robot could help monitor the health condition of that person. For example, if the person falls down and gets injured at home, the robot can call the doctor immediately to come and help. On the other hand, some people also use this technology to avoid social contact. For example, there was a young man who recently got “married” to an anime character. What if it became common for people to get married to robots rather than human beings in the future? The gap between people could further widen due to the development of realistic robots. Personally, I do not see companion robots as an answer to people's problems. We should be providing each other with true companions and true friendship rather than cold machines.
