With the rapid development of technology, AI has found its way into students’ study. I think AI can be helpful, but we should not rely on it too much. On one hand, AI can provide useful information and save time. On the other hand, using it too often may weaken our problem-solving abilities and creativity. Homework is designed to help us think and learn. I suggest using AI as a tool for checking answers or getting ideas, but we should still complete our tasks independently. This way, we can truly improve. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。学校英语报就是否应该使用AI帮助完成作业开辟专栏，要求考生写一篇文章投稿，谈谈自己的看法。 【详解】 1. 词汇积累 快速的：rapid → fast 依赖：rely on → depend on 完成：complete → finish 建议：suggest → recommend 2. 句式拓展 扩写句子 原句：On one hand, AI can provide useful information and save time. 拓展句：On one hand, AI can provide useful information and save time, which is helpful to us. 【点睛】 【高分句型1】I think AI can be helpful, but we should not rely on it too much.

Glad to tell you something about mobile payment in China. Mobile payment is most popular in China. It had made people’s daily life more and more convenient.

They each represent unique aspects of human civilization — our language, architecture, art, technology, and connection with nature. Together, they show how diverse and creative our world is. Among them, I believe “Hello in different languages” is the most worthy of being included on the disc. Language is the key to human communication and understanding. By recording greetings from around the world, we show not only the beauty of linguistic diversity, but also a peaceful message: we are willing to reach out to other life forms with friendliness and respect.
