AI is coming into our life in many ways. Recently, a smart AI technology named ChatGPT came out and excited the world. The number of its users had reached 100 million just in the first two months.
ChatGPT can be used in many different areas. It does quite well in chatting with people in a natural language. You can ask it any question and get a proper reply soon after. It is able to search for the exact information and give you the most useful advice. What amazes people most is that it is quite good at writing. Learning from the data (数据) on the Internet, it can finish a book report, a survey result, a teaching plan and even a novel. It is reported that a university student in the US got the highest score with his essay completed by ChatGPT. The president of Israel (以色列) even gave a public speech written by ChatGPT. In February 2023, this AI technology passed the job interview of Level 3 engineer for coding (编码) with a yearly pay of over $180,000. And in March, the newest GPT-4 came out with higher intelligence and quicker response.
The development of AI technology is surely changing the world. Will it completely take the place of reporters, teachers or painters? This is a big challenge for many to face.

How can you combine (结合) games with English learning? The answer is Wordle! Wordle players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries.
Invented by software engineer Josh Wardle, the game has been popular with millions of players across the world. Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example, the answer for March 3 is ALOUD.
As you guess, the game gives you hints (提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle (谜).
You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable (音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel (元音), so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word “think”, there is only one syllable and there is one vowel “i”.
Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word “table”. Only “a” was green. Then, I guessed “maker” and the “r” turned yellow. In the end, I guessed “carry” and I was correct!
Wordle is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time?
