Welcome back to . speak up. And Jenny. and this is your spoken english practice time. Today's topic is help for Young families. 今天的任务有两个。先听懂一段疗育儿补贴的对话，然后说说家庭还需要什么帮助。Lily, families with babies can get money from the government. Now. yes, IT is called the child care subsidy. Does that make Young people want . more children? IT helps, but IT does not solve everything. What else do families need? They need . good kindergartens . and shorter working hours. So money is only one part of . the answer. right? Time and help matter just as much. My ant . says her community has a nursery. Now that . is the kind of help that really works. 好，我们抓三个重点。第一个被动含义的说法，families can get money from the government, 情态动词加动词原形。第二个说不能解决一切，IT does not solve everything, not加everything是部分否定。第三个说同样重要time and help matter just as much as much，表示同样多易错点。Solve的宾语是problem，要说solve the problem，回答问题要说answer the question，两个动词别换错。下面进入跟读环节，我会用正常语速把整段对话完整的读两遍。第一遍读完马上读。第二遍请你跟着我一起读。Read after me first time.

We can build with nature, not against IT. That is a nice way to put IT. Let's join . the weekend. Clean up in the park. Count me in every small . help counts. 好，我们抓三个重点。第一个说过去很少，i rally saw birth here years ago, rally表示很少用于过去时。第二个时间状语从句，animals come back when their home is safe when引导时间状语从句。第三个对称结构，protecting them is protecting ourselves. 前后都用动词in很整齐，易错点rarely seldom本身含否定意味，句子里不要再多加not反身代词是ourselves不是ourselves。下面进入跟读环节，我会用正常语速把整段对话完整的读两遍。第一遍读完马上读，第二遍请你跟着我一起读。Read after me first time.

That is a Better way to use a new tool. Our teacher says, thinking is the real . homework. I agree. A, I is a helper. not a replacement. Let's use IT to learn not . to copy. 好，我们抓三个重点。第一个说只用它做了什么？I only . used AI to check my ideas, use . something to do表示用什么来做。第二个用动词ing做主语，i think copying is wrong, copy在这里当主语用。第三个说先后顺序。i write first, and I ask AI to find my mistakes first加，但表达。顺序很清楚。易错点ask somebody to do里to后面接动词原形，不能说SAI finding。另外copy的in形式是copy in不是copy in。下面进入跟读环节，我会用正常语速把整段对话完整的读两遍。第一遍读完马上读，第二遍请读read . after . me . first time。Lily, did you finish the english writing?

今天的任务有两个：先听懂一段聊机器人老师的对话，然后说出你对机器人进课堂的看法。
二、情景对话

汤姆，我们班来了一个机器人小助手。
汤姆：Really, what can it do?
真的吗，它能做什么？
莉莉：It can answer our questions and check our homework.
它能回答我们的问题，还能检查作业。
汤姆：That sounds useful, but can it be a real teacher?
听起来挺有用，但它能当真正的老师吗？
莉莉：I don't think so, because it cannot care about us.
我觉得不能，因为它不会真正关心我们。
汤姆：You are right, a teacher knows when we feel sad.
你说得对，老师知道我们什么时候难过。
莉莉：A robot is good at facts, but a teacher is good at hearts.
机器人擅长讲知识，老师擅长懂人心。
汤姆：So the best way is to let them work together.
所以最好的办法是让它们一起配合。
莉莉：Yes, the robot helps, and the teacher guides.
对，机器人来帮忙，老师来引导。
汤姆：I like that idea, learning should still feel human.
我喜欢这个想法，学习还是该有人情味。
三、重点讲解
好，我们抓三个重点。第一个，说能力：It can answer our questions，can 后面直接加动词原形。

第三个，说擅长什么：A robot is good at facts，be good at 后面接名词或动词的 ing 形式。
易错点：can 后面永远接动词原形，不能说 can answers；另外表示不擅长要说 be bad at，不是 be bad in。

People can do safer jobs. The important thing is to learn . new skills. So change brings both problems and chances. Exactly that is how I see you. too. 好。我们的。重点，第一个比较急，there are fewer Young workers stand before, 但前面要用比较级。第二个说原因，maybe because workers pay me go up, because引导原因状语从句。第三个说不一定，not always machines can do dangerous work, 也可以用not necessarily易错点，workers是复数名词的所有格撇号放在S后面单数名词的所有格式，workers别写错位置。下面进入跟读环节，我会用正常语速把整段对话完整的读两遍。第一遍读完马上读。第二遍请你跟着我一起读。Read after me first time.
