Lecture on AI receiving favorable comments

On November 8th, an inspiring lecture on AI and humanity was organized in the school hall, mainly targeted at students in Grade 11.

The lecture started with general accounts of AI, in which its development and practical applications were briefly introduced. What followed was the convenience and potential threats brought to human civilization. As claimed, though benefiting humans enormously, AI might replace humans if not managed appropriately. Finally, a promising prospect of humans living in harmony with AI was forecast.

Undoubtedly, the lecture was both educational and appealing, giving warnings and inspiring the students to adopt objective attitudes to AI.

When Teachers' Day came around, Hamed had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school's clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. The audience's jaws dropped.

As the last note(音符)ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. After the performance, shy and silent as Mohi was, he gave Hamed a big hug. Love may be silent, but it is always there. Since then, they have been best friends and no one laughed at Mohi any more. With the encouragement of Hamed, Mohi has pursued his dream of being a musician. Not only do friends keep us company but also help us to be our better self.

W: Hey, forgot to tell you … Joe and Anna are moving to Paris!

M: Really? Isn’t that a bit sudden? How did that happen?

W: His company offered him a job out there. They’re going for at least a couple of years.

(Text 2)

M: Hello, I’m calling to ask whether you can send someone to take a look at our ceiling. It’s been leaking since last night’s rainstorm.

W: Hi, Mr. Stevenson. I’m afraid we’re already booked up for this week. But I think we can make it next Monday.

(Text 3)

W: How was the training?

M: The training was a great challenge. I learned a lot.

W: I’m glad you see it that way. Not a lot of people take a positive attitude towards training.

M: Anyway, I’m glad I went.

(Text 4)

M: Have you seen my blue sweater? It was on the back of my chair before I went to the meeting, but now it’s disappeared.

W: Are you sure you left it there? When I came in the office to remind you about the meeting I didn’t see it.

(Text 5)

M: Listen to this. The Education Minister is now saying that teachers deserve a pay rise. That’s a complete change of opinion!

W: I’m glad to hear it. He’s been listening to public opinion, obviously.

(Text 6)

M: Hi, my name is Tom Smith. I saw a sign that said all visitors need to sign in here.

W: That’s correct. May I ask your reason for visiting City Hall today?

M: Actually, I’d like to take a tour. I’m interested in historic buildings.

W: Is that so? We’ve had more visitors ever since the regional museum opened.

M: Oh, I was just there. Do you have any idea where I should start?

W: Here, take this brochure. It has some information about the building’s history and shows you where the points of interest are. Let me know if you have any questions.

(Text 7)

M: Have you met our new marketing manager? I heard he came from our Chicago branch and started work here last Monday.

W: Yes, I saw Mr. Wang in the staff meeting on Friday for the first time. He looked very energetic and organized. In particular, I liked the way he developed our new marketing strategies. He encouraged participants to share their ideas in an informal and inviting way.

M: It sounds like he has a constructive approach. I hope he will bring us more enthusiasm and help us increase our profits in the end.

W: That’s exactly what I want from him. By the way, there is another meeting that he is supposed to chair on Tuesday. You’ll be there, won’t you?

(Text 8)

W: Good morning. You have reached Dr. Henry’s office. This is Laura. How may I help you?

M: Hi, this is Joel Phillips. I’d like to reschedule my appointment today at three o’clock to another time tomorrow. Is that possible?

W: I’m afraid the appointments are already fully booked for this week. Mr. Phillips, you’ve already waited two weeks to make this reservation and you really should have your teeth examined. Is there any way you can come today as arranged?

M: I know, but I am at an urgent meeting with my client right now and I might not make it to the three o’clock appointment. Well, I’ll try to conclude everything quickly in the meeting so that I can arrive at your clinic on time. Thank you.

(Text 9)

M: Today I’m talking with 15-year-old Adriana Brown. She built her own bicycle generator. Adriana, can you tell us about your project? How did you get started?

W: Well, I’ve helped my dad with some of his projects. But I decided I wanted to do my own project this time. So I researched ideas on the Internet. I decided on a bicycle generator because it’s really useful. I can use it to power my computer.

M: So, how did you build it?

W: First, I found plans for generators. I chose a simple design and made a first draft of the project. Then, my dad made some suggestions and I made another draft. After that, I started to look for materials. The only problem was that I didn’t have a lot of money, so it was difficult!

M: So, what did you do?

W: Well, I went to a bicycle shop and a car repair shop. I told them about my project. They gave me some extra parts.

M: Oh, that was nice.

W: Yeah, it really was … When I got all the materials, I was ready to put it all together.

M: Well, I think it’s great. Very impressive!

(Text 10)

M: OK, are you all settled? Well, first of all, welcome to Cardiff University. I’m here to explain what we can offer you.

Now, as a new student at the university, you will probably need some sort of guidance to help you to use the library effectively to study and research. Some of you have asked about a guided tour but we find this rather confuses people. So, in this first week, we run a series of talks which focus on different aspects of the library and its resources.

OK, now let me give you an outline of what’s available to you. You’ll find that the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. Many students do most of their research on the Internet and the library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you’ll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need.

Naturally we do still have the full range of classic reference books for you to use and there are several copies of each one. This is because some of you may prefer to borrow a book rather than sit in the library. There is a restricted loan time on these so that they are not missing from the shelves for too long. Although there is a Section Manager for each part of the library, they are very busy and so, if you do get stuck looking for things, you should ask the relevant Cataloguing Assistant. As your Training Supervisor, I just oversee your work for a week and will not be around after this initial week.
