The latest technological advancement centering on the conversation at work, at school, and sometimes even at home, largely due the emergence of chat-bots such as ChatGPT and Bard, (be) Artificial Intelligence. These new conversational platforms use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help users find instant answers, get creations, learn new things. They can chat with you and provide responses that can help you do things.

While most of the Internet agrees it's not as good as a human at performing many tasks, the debate continues as to AI has the power to replace certain jobs, or even spell the end of humankind. Of course, it brings undoubted benefits, (depend) on how you use it.

(give) it's often described in science fiction films and novels as a world-ending technology that results in killer robots, the present (real) is less dramatic. AI is defined as a type of computer technology that is concerned with making machines work in an intelligent manner, similar to how the human mind works.

(actual), it means we can ‘train' computers to learn, respond and make decisions, but it still requires the ability (learn) from humans to get   anywhere near good enough. While Al is a hot topic right now, the idea has existed for decades. The latest chat-bots are a form of Artificial Intelligence can analyze huge amounts of data and generate responses, though they need a little reminder.

Most of our thinking is not critical thinking. We don't need to make many judgments to travel to work or cook dinner. Critical thinking can save us from blindly making poor choices. So how can you improve your critical thinking skills? You need to practise. There are many ways of doing that. Here are a few:

Look at articles or books written by people on all sides of the issue. For each source, evaluate the argument: What claim is it making? What reasons does it give? Are the reasons logical?

·When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why? What is the claimant's background and how does this motivate their opinion?

·Evaluate your own thinking. Where do you tend to not think critically? Why don't you? How can you improve?

·Question things you assume. What claims do you accept without knowing the reasons for them? Try to find out what others believe about that claim and why.

As you grow in critical thinking, you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person.

A. Stick to your claim.

B. Read about a topic people disagree on.

C. When you think of one, do some research.

D. It's analyzing facts separately so you can make decisions.

E. And it may help you to succeed at work or school as well.

F. We'll only use it if we make a conscious effort to ask questions about what we see.

G. But when a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it.

When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.

Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university's academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.

When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they've always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.

Regular physical activity is one of the most (importance) things you can do for your health. Everyone can experience some good (point) of physical activity-age, ability, shape and size do not matter.

Being physically active can help manage weight. Both eating physical habits play a key role weight management. You gain weight when you consume (消耗) more calories through eating and drinking than the amount of calories you burn, (include) those burned during physical activity.

(keep) your weight, work your way up to 150 minutes a week of physical activities, could contain (包含) dancing or yard work. You could achieve the goal of 150 minutes a week with 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

People differ (great) in how much physical activity they need for weight management. You may need to be more active than others to reach or keep a healthy weight.

To lose weight and keep off, you will need a high amount of physical activity unless you also change your eating patterns and reduce the amount of calories you're eating and drinking. So getting to a healthy weight (require) regular physical activity and healthy eating at the same time.

After many years, I still3 remember the last time I had to4. At that moment, starting a new school wasn't really that big of a5. I spent the next four and a half years in Mountain Home. I made four amazing friends anyone could ever ask for. However, when I had to leave them, I was6.

I soon7that starting a new high school was different from being the "new girl" in elementary or even middle school. It wasn't as easy to gain the "approval (认可)" of my8 now as it had been back then. Back in elementary or middle school, although I was a freshman, I had my friends and people I knew. I could very easily9 well over ninety percent of my class. However, at this new school, I10 no one.

I've been told over and over by my mum that I'll11 have to enter the "real" world and that the12 I have over all of these things will soon disappear. What adults13 to realize is that every day in a teenager's life is a battle (战役). We're no longer children, but not quite adults. We struggle to14 who we are.

Although I still have about a year and a half left, I honestly believe that being a teenager has been the hardest15 in my life, something I'm sure I'll carry with me for the rest of my existence.

It's natural for young children to want to spend time with their parents. But doing housework often causes Mum and Dad to take many hours away from their kids.? Use this as a chance to get your children to help you out with housework, and find endless ways to stay with them. The following are some simple, basic tips on what to do.

Break down big housework into smaller tasks

. If you expect them to help with a mountain of washed clothes, apply the "divide-and-conquer (征服)"method. Smaller children can help with handkerchiefs, while older kids can be arranged shorts and shirts.

If a task is too difficult, don't allow your children to take the easy way out and quit. Instead. make things easier for them by offering help. This will give them the impression that you're a team and that they can depend on you.

Bargain or negotiate (协商)

This is especially helpful on extremely busy days when your kids don't have time to help out.

Use repetition

Children learn through continuous reinforcement (强化), so be patient, even if it may take a while for them to do a task properly.. In the case of folding (折叠) towels, you can instruct them that each fold should be one-fourth of the entire towel.

A. So what is the solution

B. Offer a proper cleaning tool

C. Offer a helping hand when needed

D. They can then add up all the points every weekend

E. You can work around a schedule but still keep flexible

F. Use a step-by-step way when explaining what should be done

G. Housework that is easy for adults may seem hard for children

Europe took the lead, with seven out of the top 10 cities and 63 countries in the top 100. The only non-European cities in the top 10 were Dubai at No.2, Tokyo at No.4 and New York at No.8. Madrid came third, while Amsterdam, Berlin and Rome were at Nos.5, 6 and 7 respectively. Barcelona and then London rounded out the top 10. Asia did well in the top 20 as Singapore (11). Seoul (14). Osaka (16) and Hong Kong (17) all made the list.

According to the report, the secret of Europe's success is "fast-paced urbanization (城市化) and widespread technology adoption". Travellers now focus on high-speed Internet, flexible booking choices and spaces for teleworking. The report said, "Improving sustainability, transportation networks and social influence are some of the key goals cities are achieving today to increase competitiveness, improve their tourism offer and deliver a perfect customer journey."

Istanbul topped the list for the number of international arrivals in 2023, followed by London and then Dubai. The cities with the biggest year-on-year growth were Hong Kong (2, 495%) and Bangkok (142%).

However, growing visitor numbers can be a mixed blessing, with bad influence on the local communities and the environment. Nadejda Popova, a manager at Euromonitor International, discussed in a report the ways cities are facing up to the challenge of overtourism.
