第三部分 话题能力提升——读写综合
一、阅读导入
There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence （AI）. The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that a good teacher can develop a child's confidence and creativity outside lessons. So the value cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future Of course. Just imagine how happy our teachers will be if they don't have to correct hundreds of papers.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally. What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to develop our kids' personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decision. To achieve this, depending only on AI is impossible.
In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the information you want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.

With the development of science and technology, we can see all kinds of smart products in our daily life. They all bring great convenience and progress to our society.； However, with smart technology being widely used, many workers will lose their jobs. Also, some students depend on smart products too much that they will lose their ability to do things by themselves.； All in all, just as every coin has its two sides, smart products have both advantages and shortcomings. I believe that if we use them correctly, they will bring us more convenience in our life in the future.
