The technology of intelligent machines improves amazingly with the help of artificial intelligence. Robots, known as steel-collar workers, are widely employed in different aspects, such as marine research, space exploration and some modern assembly lines. Robots bring about advantages undoubtedly, and meanwhile, they are not as versatile as expected. (49 words)
The advantages of robots are innumerable. The employment of robots on assembly lines saves a lot of labor forces. Robots are widely used in developed countries. In Japan, one out of ten thousand workers are robots, which not only improve the working efficiency, but also enhance accuracy. That is the reason why robots are so popular in automobile industry and electronic production line. (63 words)
Another merit is that robots can take the place of human beings and work in the dangerous environment or the places not accessible for us. Human beings have extended their cognition to the outer space, where there are considerable unpredictable dangers. Robots can work in any kind of situation, no matter how awful the environment is. In hospital, robots work as professional doctors doing operation on the patients. Furthermore, robots can work around the clock, never knowing what tiredness is. (80 words)
However, the disadvantages of robots are undeniable. Firstly, all the robots and other intelligent machines are designed by human beings. What robots do is follow the instruction and pre-set programming by human beings. If there is something wrong with the electric circuit or programs, robots will become good-for-nothing machines. Besides, robots cannot work creatively when confronted with complicated situation. (59 words)
In short, robots are subsidiary to human beings. However competent they are in various kinds of field, robots will never take the place of human beings and play a decisive role in our work and life. (36 words) (287 words totally)
2 Some people think that the employers with higher education standard should be paid more than those are not well-educated. To what extent do you agree?
It is commonly thought that our society had dramatically changed by advanced knowledge and modern science, while whether the folks with higher education background should be paid more than others has sprung up a heated debate. Some approve of it, whereas the idea that it is unjustified and ridiculous is supported by sound reasons.
Those who maintain this idea is reasonable claim the following factors. Firstly, with penetrating insights and outstanding analytical skills, the well-educated people may play an essential role in the information age. A little time is needed for them to handle complex machines and adapt to the work which may save a host of funds for the government and enable them to get higher salary. In addition, the fact the more one learns, the more one earns can set a favorable role model for adolescent to encourage them to devote more time to study, with the intention to get a decent job.
The youth may feel the pressure on their shoulders and spare no efforts to enhance their employable skills.
On the contrary, there is no denying that everyone in the society should be treated equally. The salary should be based on one's contribution and responsibility rather than his education level. What is more, many people with a multitude of theories still cannot finish simple practical job, having no qualification to show their knowledge and earn more.
As far as I am concerned, both have merits and demerits. What the government should do is to pay staff according to both educational level and hands-on ability, which can benefit the society as a whole.
3 Will the popularity of English and tourism harm the minorities and minor languages?
Economic globalization benefits the world immensely, especially the prosperity of tourism. As a result, the cultures, languages and customs in the minorities are not mysterious to the world any more, which should be attributed to the popularity of tourism. (39 words)
It is a consensus that tourism can stimulate the economic development in a region, since tourism plays an important role in the acceleration of the improvement of service, such as transportation, accommodation, catering and other marginal business. With a view to attracting more tourists, the minority regions have to consider how to improve their image and service, during the course of which they can have an overall plan to promote the status of their region. Nowadays, many people travel for minority regions to satisfy their curiosity, where they can have unexpected findings. (92)
Furthermore, tourism can strengthen the interflow of cultures and traditions between the people in different regions. Trips to minority countries and regions render people a lot of new cultures and customs, which, presumably, have been handed down from old ages and enjoyed very splendid history. Formerly, people can only get some segments about the minorities from videos, films and other incomplete descriptions on books. Now, tourists have more opportunities to communicate or even live with the minority people and acquire first-hand knowledge about them, which provides the researchers with a lot of authentic information. (94 words)
Admittedly, tourism damages the natural environment in some minority regions and spoils the peaceful life of them to some degree due to their frequent activities in the minority regions, the environment being deteriorated in some regions, which is not what we expected. (42)
Generally, the popularity of English and tourism brings more advantages than damage to the minority regions, since it has enriched people’s knowledge and widened their horizons. But meanwhile, we should be on the alert for the damage to the minority regions and take effective means to tackle the problems tourism arouses. (49 words)
