Can you think of more
Discuss the three questions in your group and make a new interview with your partners.
In my opinion, I believe... because...
In the future, people should/will/shall...
Q1: Do you think robots will replace humans one day
Why do you think so
Yes, I think robots might replace humans in some jobs. They work much faster than people and never feel tired. For example, in car factories, robots can put car parts together 24 hours a day. They don’t need to rest, eat or drink, and they almost never make mistakes. This is better than human workers who might get tired.
No, robots won’t fully replace humans. They have no real thoughts, feelings or creativity. For example, a robot can’t be a good teacher. Teachers can tell funny stories to make students love learning. But a robot can only read lessons from a program and can’t care about how students feel inside.
