Q: topic – environment

I think the most seriously problem we’re facing is global warming. I think every year we already begin to have this problems in our daily life, because the temperature in the summer is higher than past several years. I think we need to take some actions to stop or slow down this trend. In our daily life, we need to plant more trees and take public transportation. All in all, we need to do something to decrease carbon emissions.

(General (animal)-> daily life (temperature) ->solution(government + us))

I think the most serious environmental problem is global warming. I first saw this on the news many years ago. There are many serious issues happening in nature, on the news, such as the polar bears and other animals losing their homes. But right now, we are also beginning to see this problem in our daily life, such as the extreme temperatures. Last year, the highest temperature in Beijing was around 40 degrees. It was unbearable. In other part of the world, the situation is the same. I think we need to take some actions to stop or slow down this trend. The government can make some new policies to protect the environment, but somethings that we can do are planting more trees, taking public transportation when we can, and making less garbage, recycling, not wasting food or energy. The most difficult part is that we have to get everyone, every country and government, and every citizen/individual.

Q: topic – AI

I think nowadays, AI technology is around our life. It’s everywhere. Last time I was on a trip, I went to Xiamen, and a robot helped us check-in. And that robot also delivered my food. I think it’s very convenient and I just don’t need to move. But of course, there’s two sides to every coin. I think it’s dangerous to let AI to have their own awareness because I don’t know a lot about this topic but I’ve watched a lot of movies with robots coming to life and destroying earth/human race. I’m so afraid of it.

AI can help teachers to prepare for the course, and AI can help school to organize/keep record of our grades.

(good part (in our everyday life) -> dangers -> education)

I think nowadays, AI technology is around our life. It’s everywhere. Last time I was on a trip, I went to Xiamen, and a robot helped us check-in. And that robot also delivered my food. I think it’s very convenient. But of course, there’s two sides to every coin/there’s advantages and disadvantages to everything. I think it’s dangerous to let AI to have their own awareness because I don’t know a lot about this topic but I’ve watched a lot of movies with robots coming to life and destroying earth/human race. I’m so afraid of it.

I know AI is very powerful these days. It can make a fake video look very real. If they want, people can make a video of me robbing a bank, but I’m at interview right now. So we can’t tell the truth anymore.

In education, AI can help teachers to prepare for the course, and AI can help school to organize/keep record of our grades. But I think human teachers are irreplaceable/are very important because every teacher has their own style of teaching. I want to learn from teachers with different styles, it’s very interesting to me. Sometimes, it’s hard in the beginning when the teacher has a very different/strong personal style, but when I adjust, I’m very happy to learn in another way. I can also feel warmth or personality from the human teachers and the classroom environment. So teaching is not just about telling information.
