I disagree with the idea that robots will only bring benefits to people in the future. Robots will also have some negative effects. Firstly, they will be very expensive and we will spend too much money buying and fixing them. Secondly, robots in factories will be able to do everything the workers do, so robots will make them jobless. Thirdly, robots in our homes will do all the housework for us, so we will become lazy and inactive. In short, robots will do many things for us, but they may not improve the quality of out lives.

I disagree with the idea that with the help of technology , students will benefit greatly from studying by themselves at home.
Firstly, Many students will be lazy, they will spend almost time on playing games instead of learning.
Secondly , Students can find information on the Internet easily but they can’t understand all information and they won’t know that information is correct or incorrect.
Finally, Students need the teacher to explain what they don’t understand, the teacher will give them some advice to improve their studies.
In short, technology have many benefits but they may not improve the quality of our studies.
