Activity 1:
Suggested answers:
I agree on Dr Han's idea that computers will be cleverer than us
in the future.Actually there are already computers,like
AlphaGo,that are smarter than most people.
I don't agree on Vincent Black's idea about floating cities,
because I doubt that sea levels will rise that much.
Activity 2:
Deep thinking
Sample dialogue:
A:Good afternoon,Ms Zhang.Thank you for agreeing to do this
interview.
B:I'd love to.
A:First,could you please tell our audience what you do?
B:Certainly.I'm a doctor.I perform transplant surgery every
week.
A:That sounds like a very high-tech job.How do you think the
surgery will be operated in the future?Do you have any
predictions about that?
B:Yes,well,I believe that doctors in the future will have much
better means to help people.I can imagine that nanobots will
be put in patients'body to detect the illness.And in the
future,there will be adequate supply of organs for patients
who need transplant.
A:Well,that would be really good news for all of us.Could you
please explain how this will be possible?
B:Well,it will be possible because of special 3D printers.In the
future,doctors will be using them in hospitals regularly to
create healthy copies of people's organs.Then they will
replace the unhealthy organs with the healthy copies.

Curiosity:Driverless/Self-driving tech is the future,and
experiencing it firsthand would be exciting.
Safety:If the car is proven reliable,it might reduce human
error accidents.
Convenience:I could relax or do homework during the ride
instead of focusing on the road.
ONo,I'd hesitate.
Trust issues:Current driverless/self-driving systems aren't
perfect;mistakes made by the car could bring risk to us.
Lack of control:I'd feel uneasy handing over safety to a
machine.
Ethical dilemmas(伦理困境):What if the car faces an
unavoidable accident?How would it decide who to protect?

Should we advocate or fight against robots?
Activity 2:
Advantages:1.can do dangerous tasks for human beings
2.can improve the efficiency of work
3.can make our daily life easier
Disadvantages:1.lead to people's poor creativity,flexibility and
self-motivation
2.make people out of work
Activity 3:
1.different opinions and the thesis (statement
2.advantages and disadvantages of the advanced technology
3.restatement of the writer's opinion
4.Sample writing:
The other day,I read about a company developing
companion robots.These are robots that are supposed to be
friends with 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.

【参考范文】
At present,with the development of AI technology,AI
teachers have become a new trend in our life.
18
There is no doubt that AI teachers are beneficial.Compared
with traditional education,we have access to AI teachers easily
wherever we are,from whom we can get personalized teaching
so that we can make progress at our own pace.
However,each coin has two sides.While AI teachers do
have some advantages,as machines,they lack emotions,so
relating to students is not better.Moreover,programmed in
advance,they are unable to handle unexpected situations as real
people do.
Despite the fact that AI teachers are becoming more
popular,I think we will more likely see them adopted as
assistants in our future study.
