Are you interested in robots?

(Answer) One hundred percent yes, I have always taken an avid interest in all kinds of
technological innovations and artificial intelligence is no exception. (Reason) I think robots
with extremely enormous memory are getting more sophisticated and they will soon be a
tool that can help humans with a lot of things such as domestic tasks or even replace
people in workplace.

Describe a technological application that you are impressed with.

(Answer) Today I would like to talk about a robot which made its debut on a daily news
program that I saw a couple of weeks ago.
(Reason) The news was the introduction of a humanoid  named Sophia - the first robot
citizen of the world. Sophia was developed by a robotics company that is best known for its
development of human-shaped robots with artificial intelligence. (Example) She is built
based on basic human’s personality traits such as  creativity, empathy, and compassion.
She had the chance to talk to many different important figures in the field of technology.
During every talk, she was interviewed as a human being, she knew how
to strike  up conversations  with the hosts and I was totally impressed with the things that
she could do. She could show different emotions on her face, imitate human gestures and
even facial expressions.
(Example) Another intersting thing about Sophia is that she said she was the first robot to
be on the cover for ELLE Brazil, a well-known magazine.  She was also the focus of the
world’s media as she announced that she would destroy humandkind. Honestly, I think
Sophia would be the beginning of a new era when automation could
do demanding  jobs such as teaching people languages or peforming surgeries. Many
people have raised concern about the adverse effects of artificial intelligence when they
enter the workforce, but I reckon that it will be a great help to humans in the near future.
Would robots change our society significantly?

(Answer) Well, I do think that our society will experience dramatic changes owing to robots’
presence. (Reason) A large proportion of  human labor would be replaced by artificial
intelligence in the workplace, especially in manufacturing  zones. (Reason) Labor-
intensive work could be done precisely by robots which would save a lot of money.
Beside, automatons can replace humans in dangerous working sites, such as underground
mines or outer space.

Do you use internet much during the day?


(Answer + Reason) I have to say that I am an internet addict and without the internet, my
life would be difficult. I go online most of the time, either doing work-related tasks or online
shopping. It is so convenient that I consider it an indispensable part of my daily life.

Describe a website that you use regularly

(Answer) I would like to talk about a website named Youtube, which is a web page that I get
access to everyday. It is the most prevalent video-sharing website in the world with billions
of people streaming videos on a daily basis. I am a complete Youtube junkie and I cannot
let a day go by without seeing videos in it.
(Reason) I first learnt to use Youtube when I was at grade 8 at school. My elder brother
taught me how to log in and that was an eye-opening moment when I saw tons of videos of
various content uploaded on the website, and it has become my favorite broadcasting-
searching tool ever since. (Example) I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift; so you know I can
search all the songs, video clips or interviews related to her and spend the whole day
watching them. In addition, when I want to cook a certain dish, I can easily find the recipes
by just typing some key words on the website’s toolbar.
(Reason) Besides the entertaining purposes, Youtube is also a great source of knowledge
with various types of tutorial videos; for example, there are videos about doing exercises,
playing a musical instrument or mixing items of clothing. This website is also free and user-
friendly. I can easily look for a video that I need, subscribe to a channel that I find helpful,
leave a comment and discuss with others about the related issue that the videos mention.

What are the disadvantages of the Internet?

(Answer) Well, it cannot be denied that the internet has simplified our everyday life, but
there are still a lot of drawbacks. (Example) For example, while the internet helps
individuals to make online purchases, it could generate a way for some cybercriminals to
steal credit card information and use for illegal purposes. (Example) Besides, because of its
convenience, it may reduce the amount of time that people see face to face with each
other. There will be the ones who are glued  to    the screen  all day and focus
on forming  virtual relationships instead of real-life ones.
