Last year, I took a Japanese language certification test but unfortunately failed. After examining the scores I got, my biggest weakness was the listening section. Therefore, I decided to attend a Japanese language cram school to enhance my Japanese language.

The Japanese teacher is a language specialist and has great enthusiasm for Japanese. He always encourages students to talk. What’s more, He often gives listening tests. At the beginning of class, I found it hard to speak in Japanese. In addition, it was difficult to understand the sentences in the listening dialogues. Although learning languages is not my strength, I still worked hard. Several months later, I gradually began to understand the dialogues of listening tests. Finally, I could have small talk with classmates.

Although I wanted to pass the Japanese language certification at beginning, I think that enjoying learning is more important now. Learning foreign languages helps me broaden my horizons and understand other cultures. Therefore, I will continue to put effort into studying Japanese.

Gap year

Some people believe that students should take a gap year after finishing high school to travel or work before entering university. Others think it is better to go straight to university. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

 

 

In America, it is common that some students would go travel or do part time jobs for one year before they enroll in university. I think it has advantages and disadvantages.

First, students could expand their horizons by traveling around. In addition, students would meet different kinds of people during jobs. It would help students learn how to interact with kinds of people and deal with negative emotions by doing part time jobs. Students also learn how to learn to cope with pressure in the workplace.On the other hand, students experience a learning gap because of gap year. They have to take half a year to get familiar with their major subject in university.

Even if gap year has disadvantages for students, I think it it is a worthwhile experience. The most important is they should plan their gap year carefully to minimize risks as much as possible.

Some people believe that in the future, all jobs will be done by robots. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently, many reports, newspapers, and review journals have concluded that all jobs will eventually be done by robots. I believe this prediction could become a reality in the future. At that time, robots will transform human life across the globe.

Since the 21st century, many scientists and engineers working in large enterprises and emerging technology companies have developed cutting-edge technology, bringing once-fantastical inventions into practical applications across various fields. Artificial intelligence is now at the forefront and is gradually influencing multiple professions. For example, supervisors have to hire secretaries for arranging their schedules and writing documents drafts. However, the innovative AI platform ChatGPT performs far better than human secretaries. For this reason, integrating AI with robotics could reshape the world. In addition, it is crucial that the most great chip manufacture company, TSMC, produces much more speed of calculation. Robots with chips could complete kinds of works.

Robots will replace human labor, reducing job opportunities over time. Humanity must start considering how to adapt to this transformation.
