ChatGPT: As an AI(人工智能) language model, I can do many things to help people improve their English. I can offer advice on grammar and vocabulary, help with pronunciation and provide feedback(反馈) on written or spoken English. What’s more, I can take part in conversation with people in English which can help them practice their language skills interestingly and naturally. Would you like me to help you with any problems of your English?
John: No, not at the moment. That sounds even more powerful than some English teachers. So do you think you’ll replace(替代) some human beings in some areas, such as English teachers, news reporters or people who do customer service work?
ChatGPT: No. I don’t think I can replace them completely. Though I can provide useful help in many areas, I am still a machine and there are things only human beings can do. English teaching, news reporting and serving are far more than skills. They are also about feelings, thoughts, cultures and so on. However, I believe that I can be a valuable tool to support and improve the work of human beings in these fields. By working together, better results can be achieved to those we serve.
John: Great. I like your ideas. So my next question is, what advice would you give to human beings in order to be better prepared for the future?
ChatGPT: Good question, John. Here are a few pieces of advice for people to think about. First, develop thinking ability. In a word, instead of copying others’ ideas, you should have your own thoughts. Next, learn to work together with machines. Don’t be afraid of AI, it’s important to know how to work together with machines to improve your own abilities. Then, develop skills only human beings have, like creativity, and empathy(共情). Fourth, keep learning and changing. The world is changing fast and it’s important to stay up to date with the latest development s in technology and other fields. I hope these tips are helpful, John.

What is the best way to cut down air pollution? Use the subway or take the bus. But here is a more creative way — write a poem on a poster (海报). The science expert Tony Ryan and the words expert Simon Armitage, from the University of Sheffield, the UK, came up with the idea.
The unusual poster is 10 meters by 20 meters. A beautiful poem about the nature beauty was written on it. It is coated with nanaparticles of titanium dioxide (二氧化钛纳米粒). It can take in the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it near a busy road. It can eat up things called nitrogen oxides (氧化氨), which cause breathing problems.
The new technology is cheap. “It would add less than ￡100 to the price of a poster. What’s more, it would turn advertisements into materials which help to cut down the pollution.” Ryan told the BBC.

The trains run across mountains and the Great Wall to the north of Beijing. They run on a high-speed railway line connecting Beijing and Zhangjiakou.
The railway is an important support project for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
| Some of the places of interest near the line Juyongguan Great Wall MingTombs (明十三陵) Badaling Great Wall Guanting Reservoir National Wetland Park (官厅水库国家湿地公园) Crowing Mountain scenic area (鸡鸣山景区) Ancient City of Xuanhua Zhangjiakou Ancient Fortress (张家口堡) |
The 174-km railway’s trains move at a top speed of 350 km/h. This shortens the travel time between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the host cities of the 2022 Winter Olympics, from over three hours to less than an hour. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has 10 stops in total. It will help boost (促进) tourism.
Who’s Zhan Tianyou? In 1872, the Qing government chose 30 young boys to be sent to the US to study. 他们是中国历史上第一批出国留学的学生。Zhan Tianyou was one of them. After graduating from Yale University, Zhan came back to China. In 1905, the Qing government decided to build a railroad between Beijing and Zhangjiakou. Zhan, who studied engineering, led the project. The project is best-known for its Y-shaped switchback (人字形坡路) |
Some of the trains on this railway are smart trains that can run by themselves. Passengers can also watch live events during the 2022 Winter Olympics on the train, which is equipped (配备) with 5G technology.
Some people regard Zhan Tianyou as the “father of China’s railways”. He led the building of the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, China’s first indenpendently-designed (独立设计的) railway.
Back in the Qing Dynasty, building a railway without foreign help was thought to be impossible. But Zhan, the chief engineer of the railway project, insisted (坚持) that it could be done. After overcoming many difficulties, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line started working in 1909. Its trains ran at 35 km/h.
It’s said that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway stands for the development of China’s railways over more than a century, as well as China’s development in general.
