own, idle students frequently capture English questions or
mathematical problems, upload them on these apps, and then
copy the suggested answers as well as solutions into their
notebooks. The shortcoming is that these students can hardly
understand what they are writing down, which leaves them a big
gap of knowledge. Moreover, it’s very unfair for diligent students
who burn the midnight oil to complete the tasks without any help.
Plus, depending on these apps is a double-edged sword because
when teachers are suspicious of cheating ones, they have many
ways to examine whether students solve problems themselves or
not. In short, it is advisable that learning apps, Photomath, QANDA,
to name but a few, should be used as a last resort or by advanced
learners who prefer finding out more various solutions to their
problems.

Today, voice messaging is a popular function that people use to send their
spoken recorded messages. In terms of its advantages, mobile users can create
voice messages quickly and easily via smartphones. It can help save time on
typing and avoid spelling mistakes. It’s also very convenient to contact others if
you don’t want to show your face or cannot make video calls. As for its
disadvantages, this modern communication needs a stable Internet access. In

addition, for some people, checking voice messages is rather inconvenient and
answering them might be done later. In short, voice messaging has both pros
and cons. I think people will still use it as a common way of communication in
the future.

I agree that robots will play an important role at home. First, in the future,
robot helpers will be able to do most hard household chores like doing
the laundry, cleaning the rooms, etc., so humans will no longer put up
with these boring chores. Second, intelligent robots will be a great
companion for single people. They can listen to their problems and give
them useful advice without any complaints. Finally, these robots will also
take on the role of babysitters. They can play with children, help them do
their homework and protect them from bad people. I believe human life
at home will change for the better thanks to robot helpers.
