Listen to the interview again and write down the discourse markers that you hear. Make a note of how each discourse marker is used in the interview. Then compare your answers with a partner.
Listen for discourse markers
Discourse markers are used to organize a text by marking sequence, contrast, opinion, purpose, and so on. Listening for discourse markers can help you understand a text more easily. For example, first, however, above all, in order to, etc.

Thinking and discussing
1. What do you know about robot technology What can robots do
Robots technology has its cons and pros. It can bring great convenience to human beings together with some scientific or moral problems. A robot is a machine that can do a task according to computer programmes or through the use of some kind of controls.
Post-listening
Thinking and discussing
2. What benefits do you think robots or AI will bring Do you
think they will cause problems as well
The main benefits are that they can do some kinds of work more quickly, better, and cheaper than humans, and that they can take the place of humans when no humans are available or when humans cannot do the work. They can cause problems, however. First, what happens if they no longer serve people or stop following orders Second, there is the possibility that at some point we will have difficulty determining what constitutes a living being and what constitutes a machine.
