What is the future of AI（人工智能）？Will it be a good thing？ We asked students what they think．
|
I believe AI will be more useful in our future lives． It's now used in many fields， like phones and medicine． No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans． However， I'm sure AI will help us solve many problems． |
|
I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves． In the near future， AI will develop at a high speed． Humans may be replaced because Al robots will do lots of human jobs． |
|
I really think that AI will change the way we work， the way we live，and the way we think． Imagine if we could put a CPU inside our brain! Soon we'll be able to improve our math and memory． How exciting！ |
|
Think of what's happening right now． Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders． So I think Al will be very dangerous for humans． We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do． |

A Spring Morning
This spring morning in bed I'm lying，
Not to awake till the birds are crying．
After one night of wind and showers，
How many are the fallen flowers!

Most families love to go on holiday together． It is great fun to leave your common life behind and go somewhere different and exciting!
（1） Some people enjoy traveling around cities and visiting museums． Other people prefer outdoor holidays， where you can hike or go boating． Some people like cruises， where the huge ship is like a hotel．
Many families go on holiday in summer， when schools are closed． （2） In the past， most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town． However， now many people choose to go abroad instead． One reason for this is to escape（躲藏） the possibility of rain at home!

（4） In winter， many people go skiing． The Alps are a very popular place to ski． The mountain scenery is truly wonderful! You can try downhill skiing， cross﹣country skiing or snowshoeing．
Not matter what kind of holiday you take， there are two things that nearly everyone does． The first is to sent postcards to friends and family at home， so they can see a photo of the place where you are． The second is to buy some sort of souvenir（纪念品） to that you can remember your trip﹣﹣maybe a T﹣shirt or an art piece． （5）
