A. Answer the questions with a partner.

1. Do you use artificial intelligence (AI) in your everyday life? If so, in which
areas?
2. Do you think AI can make our lives easier? If so, in what ways?
3. What do you think is happening in the photo?

B. Read the short text and answer the following questions with a partner.
As technology advances, machines can do more tasks that humans used to do.
For example, AI can write reports, answer customer questions, and even drive
cars. This makes many workers feel worried about losing their jobs. Machines
are already taking away jobs like data entry and customer service. Experts
believe more and more jobs will be replaced by AI in the future.
1. Do you think AI will take away more jobs in the future? If so, which ones?
2. Do you think there are jobs that AI can never do? Why?
3. Can AI help us do our work better? How?

 II. WRITING MODEL

A. Read the question and the opinion paragraph. Match each part (1-10) with one of
the explanations.
Do you think AI will take away humans’ jobs in the future?
(1) In my opinion, AI will not replace our jobs completely, but it will change how we work.
(2) First, AI can handle repetitive and simple tasks much faster than humans. (3) In fact,
AI can manage nearly 50% of routine tasks such as collecting and sorting information at
workplaces. By doing these tasks, AI can help people save time and focus on more
important work that needs human attention. (4) Second, many jobs require creativity
and critical thinking, and AI cannot perform these as well as humans. (5) Just like a
machine can put phone parts together but cannot design them, AI can assist with tasks
but cannot create original ideas like humans do. For example, when I used AI to help
generate ideas for a story, it provided plenty of suggestions, but they were all too basic
and lacked the originality I wanted. (6) Third, AI will create new jobs in the future. (7) For
instance, people will need to develop AI systems, maintain them, and make sure they
work properly. These jobs will require technical skills and create job opportunities. (8) In
conclusion, AI may change the way we do our jobs, but it will not take over most of them.
