think we should do to prepare for
the future
Example
观点 1：不会取代
I don’t think robots will replace humans one day. Because humans have creativity and emotional intelligence.
Question 1
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.
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!
Question 2
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.
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.
Question 3
Homework
Do you agree that “Today’s choices will influence your future” Write 3 - 5 sentences to share your ideas. （你是否同意 “今天的选择会影响未来”？写 3 - 5 句话表达观点 ）
