think we should do to prepare for
the future

1e
Post-reading
观点 1：不会取代
I don’t think robots will replace humans one day. Because humans have creativity and emotional intelligence. For example, robots can’t write touching stories or understand deep human feelings like we do. We can make friends, love others, but robots just follow programs.
观点 2：部分取代（但有限）
Maybe robots will replace humans in some simple jobs, like factory work or cleaning. But they can’t replace us in jobs needing human connection, such as teaching or nursing. Teachers can encourage students with love, but robots can’t do that.
1. Do you think robots will replace humans one day Why do you think so
Example
I think creativity, adaptability and teamwork are important. Creativity helps us invent new things. Adaptability lets us deal with future changes, like new jobs. Teamwork makes us work well with others, maybe even with robots!
Learning skills and kindness are key. We need to keep learning new knowledge for future jobs. And kindness helps us care about others, which robots can’t have.
2. What do you think are the most important qualities that people in the future should develop
Example
First, study hard to get more knowledge.
Second, learn new skills like coding or foreign languages.
Also, stay curious about new things, so we can adapt to changes easily.
We should exercise to stay healthy, because a good body helps us face future challenges. And read more books to open our minds. Plus, practice teamwork in group activities.
3. What do you think we should do to prepare for the future
Example
1. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years
所以，作为一名未来学家，你能告诉我们 50 年后的生活会有怎样的不同吗？

(2)副词：如同；像…… 一样
常用来修饰形容词或副词的原级，一般用于 “as...as...” 结构（否定句可用 “not as/so...as...” ）
