Host: Dr Lu, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years
Dr Lu: Well, you’ll see robots working everywhere.
Host: Can you give us some examples
Dr Lu: Well, as we all know, China's robotics industry is growing fast. Robots will make our life easier. We’ll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen.
Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future
Dr Lu: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts.
Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day
Dr Lu: No, I don’t. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things.
Host: You mentioned AI. How will AI change our world
Dr Lu: Well, it will certainly change how we work, study, and live. For example, a smart refrigerator will know what you need and order food for you when you're running low.

Are you ready for tomorrow How will you prepare for the future
As a middle school student, I think I am still learning to be ready. I try to keep up with new technology and study, but I know there is more to learn. Being ready means being open to change and willing to grow.
I will follow Dr Lu’s advice: accept changes, keep learning (like studying science and technology), and work hard. I will also practice using digital tools and stay curious about the world, so I can adapt to new situations.

No, I don’t think so. Robots are good at following instructions and doing repeated jobs. But humans are better at being creative, showing emotions, and solving new problems. These human skills will always be needed.
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.
Discuss in groups
Post reading
I think the most important qualities are creativity and the ability to learn. Because robots can do housework or order food, but they can’t think creatively. We need to keep learning new skills to work with AI in the future. Also, emotional intelligence is important to understand others.

抓住今天，珍惜当下
/si z/
To prepare for the future, we should first accept change and keep learning new things. For example, we can learn how to use AI tools or practice coding. Also,it’s important to be creative because robots can’t think like humans. We should read more books and do projects to practice our thinking skills.
