However, 29 of the answers was the same as the teacher’s. Then he said, “All of your answers are right. But in my opinion, the brakes in the car make us able to drive much 30 .”

In a word, instead of copying others’ ideas, you should have your own thoughts. Next, learn to work together with machines. Don’t be afraid of AI, it’s important to know how to work together with machines to improve your own abilities. Then, develop skills only human beings have, like creativity, and empathy(共情). Fourth, keep learning and changing. The world is changing fast and it’s important to stay up to date with the latest development s in technology and other fields. I hope these tips are helpful, John.
