Describe a product or application which is based on artificial intelligence
You should say:
What it is
What it is used for
How it is used
And what you think of it
You know, artificial intelligence is gaining its popularity in modern life because of the convenience it brings to us. I desired to own at least one, so I had been tightening my belt to possess a household appliance that operates based on AI. This is a house-cleaning robot.
I bought this robot on the Internet and only 3 days later, it became one of my family members. In fact, I could say that it is the most hard-working member of my family, and also the cleanest. It never refuses to work when I activate and tell it to clean the house, and it’s also so diligent since it can focus on cleaning up to 4 hours without complaint, no matter how dirty my room could be.
It can remove pet hair, automatically navigate around obstacles like chairs or tables’ legs. If I want it to clean the house when I go out, all I have to do is to set up a mapping plan, a time limit and turn it on. I’m pretty sure that the floor will be bright and shiny when I come back. More intelligently, this robot can autonomously recharge its battery and come back to its home when it has finished work. I mean that its operation is totally automatic, without any control or monitoring of humans.
As for me, this is the state-of-the-art technological device that I could grasp the opportunity to buy. It’s really a labour - saving device. Thanks to this gadget, I never have to worry about tedious household chores like laundry or cleaning. Besides, I have more time to pursue other interests and be immersed in some real page-turners, so I still think it is a perfect purchase.

A very interesting text about how we teach reading to kids! (值得一讀!)
https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading
學界爭論不休的 whole language approach 和 systematic phonics approach,究竟哪一個有更多的科學理據,去支持成為較適合幼兒閱讀的策略呢?
Whole language approach 著重提供一個豐富的、包含讀寫聽說的語言環境,著重文字在文本中呈現出來的意思,鼓勵孩子運用思考力從不同的 cues(例如圖畫、上文下理、beginning sound)去猜估文字,講求make sense of language。孩子有學習 phonics 的,只是不完整也沒有系統。
.graphic cues (what do the letters tell you about what the word might be?)
.syntactic cues (what kind of word could it be, for example, a noun or a verb?)
.semantic cues (what word would make sense here, based on the context?)
另一套觀點則強調要 explicitly, systematically 教授 letter 同 sound 的關係,怎樣 decode words,即是在孩子初學習英語時,集中把 phonics 的系統循序漸進式地好好掌握。
香港的學校多是採用 whole language approach,而家長努力付費外補的多是 phonics。
文中詳細描述了能夠掌握有效 phonics 策略的學生是如何閱讀:
//Here's what happens when a reader who has good phonics skills comes to a word she doesn't recognize in print. She stops at the word and sounds it out. If it's a word she knows the meaning of, she has now linked the spelling of the word with its pronunciation. If she doesn't know the meaning of the word, she can use context to try to figure it out.
By about second grade, a typically developing reader needs just a few exposures to a word through understanding both the pronunciation and the spelling for that word to be stored in her memory. She doesn't know that word because she memorized it as a visual image. She knows that word because at some point she successfully sounded it out.
The more words she stores in her memory this way, the more she can focus on the meaning of what she's reading; she'll eventually be using less brain power to identify words and will be able to devote more brain power to comprehending what she's reading.//
近年很多學者從科學研究的角度證實 systematic phonics approach 對提升孩子閱讀能力更有幫助。
