Post-reading
1e Discuss the questions.
1. Do you think robots will replace
humans one day Why do you
think so
I don’t think robots will replace humans, because we have creativity and emotions.
2. What do you think are the most important qualities that
people in the future should develop
I think the most important quality that people should develop is being adaptable and open to change, learning lots of different skills that they can switch between over the course of their lives.
They should also always
be prepared for the future.
3. What do you think we should do to prepare for the future
To prepare for the future, I think we should study new technology so we can understand and use it to help us. We should also not forget about how to do simple things, as they will always be important. We shouldn’t let technology make us useless!
