范文
Dear Jim,
Learning that you often use ChatGPT to assist in your learning tasks, I would like to share my thoughts on this matter.
Personally, I do not tend to use artificial intelligence to complete my learning tasks. While its efficiency and accuracy are indeed impressive, we can gain a deeper understanding by learning independently. In my daily routine, I have a preference for high-tech products as well. They make it possible for me to access information, learn new things efficiently, and keep in touch with friends anytime, anywhere. Nevertheless, I don’t have them control my life by setting a fixed time for using them.
I wish you all the best in your academic journey. I am confident that with your dedication and hard work, you will achieve excellent results.
Yours,
Li Hua
续写微场景练 (主题:亲子教育)
根据续写故事情节和黑体部分的提示, 利用本单元词汇和句式补全续写场景,并背诵。
尽管如此,我儿子还是坚持留着坏掉的电视,把电视搬到了客厅一角。他一看到我困惑的表情就加重语气解释说:“它会不断提醒我要小心。”当我的目光落在那块破屏幕上时,我忍不住想起了我儿子那句预言性的话:“像这样。”这两个词在我的脑海中回荡,似乎给我深刻的人生教训。意外时有发生,父母的宽恕在塑造孩子的性格中起着重要作用。这件事确实让我们一家人更加亲密了。
Nevertheless, my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. He carried it to the corner of the sitting room. ①The instant he saw my confused look he explained with emphasis,“②It will constantly remind me to be cautious.”As my gaze fell on that cracked screen, ③I couldn’t resist recalling my son’s fateful words:“Like this.”These two words echoed in my mind, seemingly offering me a profound life lesson. Accidents happen and it is the parental forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character. The incident indeed brought us even closer as a family.
仿写(加黑部分)听到Jeff的决定,他的父亲凝视远方。然后他说了句仍在Jeff脑海中回荡的话:“我早该知道你会一事无成!”
