以下内容按本节课课堂已讲方向整理，保留老师讲过的核心思路和表达，供课后朗读和 TTS 练习。

Which science subject is interesting to you?

I like animal science because we all live on the same earth. Animals are important to us, and we should be friendly to them. Besides, animals are really cute, so I think animal science is interesting.

Did you enjoy science classes at school?

No, I didn't enjoy science classes at school because science classes were really hard for me. I couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, and I got really low scores.

Do you think science is important for children to learn?

Yes, I think science is important for children because we use science in our life all the time. It can help us solve a lot of problems.

Is the city where you live crowded?

Yes, the city where I live is very crowded. I live in Beijing, and there are a lot of people living here. For example, I go to school by subway, and the subway is really crowded in the morning. I don't enjoy it at all.

Do most people like crowded places?

No, I don't think most people like crowded places because crowded places can be really noisy and cramped. People may get impatient, anxious, and stressed when they are in crowded places.

Do you like crowded places?

No, I don't like crowded places. For example, if I go to a crowded restaurant to eat, I might need to wait in long lines, and that makes me feel impatient.

How often do you listen to music?

I often listen to music because listening to music makes me happy. Like I just mentioned, music can give me a lot of energy.

Do you like to listen to music while studying?

No, I don't like to listen to music when I study because I need a quieter place to think. Music distracts me when I try to concentrate.

Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

Yes, I have played the piano since I was five years old. I enjoyed playing the piano a lot when I was little.

Describe a technology problem you faced.

This is a very interesting question. I face many technology problems in my life because I am not very good with computers. Today, I would like to tell you one recent experience. It happened last week. I needed to finish my homework, and I had to use my laptop to do it. However, when I went to the library and turned on my laptop, it wouldn't turn on properly. I was really anxious because the deadline was the next day. Without my laptop, I couldn't finish the homework and turn it in on time. So I asked for help from my dad. He checked the laptop and found out that my computer was running out of memory. It was low on memory, so he upgraded my computer, and that fixed the problem. I felt really relieved because I could finally finish my homework and hand it in on time.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in daily life?

The advantage of using technology is that it can save us a lot of time and make our life more convenient. For example, we have robots that can do housework like cleaning the floors, so we don't have to do everything by ourselves. On the other hand, technology might replace some human jobs, which could be a problem because some people may lose their jobs to robots.

How has technology changed the way people live?

Of course technology has changed our lives. Take smartphones for example. They make it easier and cheaper for us to communicate with our friends and families. In the past, people had to write letters and wait for days or weeks to receive a reply. But today, we can send a text message, and the other person can get it right away.

Why is it difficult for elderly people to learn new technology?

New technologies can be too complicated for elderly people to understand. As people get older, they may lose some ability to learn and adapt to new things. Also, some old people like familiar things, such as books or traditional phones. Young people have more chances to use new technologies at school and at work, but old people may not have those opportunities.

What can the government do to encourage innovation?

The government has the budget to fund research and train more professionals. Also, the government has the platform to educate the public and encourage people to innovate more.

What is your opinion on artificial intelligence?

I think artificial intelligence is complicated. On the plus side, AI can make our lives easier. It can do repetitive and boring tasks, so we can spend more time doing creative and interesting things. For example, my major is jewelry certification. AI may help me spend less time inspecting a piece of diamond, so I can do more research on how to cut it and make it more beautiful and brilliant. On the other hand, AI could make people lazy, and some people might lose their motivation to work.
