If yu’re smene wh has been wrrying abut the rise f the rbts—hld n there just a secnd, and let them help yu impress yur friends with sme newfund skills in a freign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) t help us learn and imprve thse skills is nt new—sme f the nline language tls we turn t every day are pwered by AI.
But as new technlgies fld int the market, nw is a great time t take advantage f the tech. And accrding t experts, these tls aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One f the things that stps sme f us frm practicing speaking in a new language is a lack f self-cnfidence. AI can help—chatbts dn’t judge yu. Of curse, teachers dn’t either, but fr sme peple, cmmunicating with a bt may erase that fear f failure r shyness.
The latest chatbts use smething called natural language prcessing that allws them t understand human speech r writing, prviding a human-like respnse right away. While chatbts are extremely useful fr learners wrking individually, teachers can als ffer curse material and ask an AI system t prduce persnalized textbks fr grups f students. The AI can als prvide feedback (反馈) in secnds—gne are the days f waiting a week fr wrk t be graded.
Past nline language tls and games were able t tell yu when yu were wrng, but they weren’t always able t explain why. Nw, nt nly has that changed, but the explanatins are detailed and immediate. But this is nt t underestimate the rle f the teacher, wh can use the technlgy t help learn mre abut the strengths and shrtcmings f their students and persnalize their teaching.
S, if yu want t impress yur friends with yur perfect speech, dn’t be afraid f AI. Just think f it as a useful tl fr bth teachers and language learners, which will give yu mre time and space t enjy learning smething new!
8. What is the main idea f the article?
A. The dangers f Al-rbts.
B. The histry f nline language tls.
C. The benefits f AI in language learning.
D. The rle f teachers in the mdern classrm.
9. Why might smene prefer cmmunicating with a bt?
A. Because bts grade wrk faster.
B. Because bts prvide textbks.
C. Because bts are mre knwledgeable.
D. Because bts may remve the fear f failure r shyness.
10. What is the benefit f AI prducing persnalized textbks?
A. It saves time fr teachers.B. It reduces the cst f educatin.
C. It meets individual students’ needs.D. It prvides detailed lessn plans.

If yu’re smene wh has been wrrying abut the rise f the rbts—hld n there just a secnd, and let them help yu impress yur friends with sme newfund skills in a freign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) t help us learn and imprve thse skills is nt new—sme f the nline language tls we turn t every day are pwered by AI.
But as new technlgies fld int the market, nw is a great time t take advantage f the tech. And accrding t experts, these tls aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One f the things that stps sme f us frm practicing speaking in a new language is a lack f self-cnfidence. AI can help—chatbts dn’t judge yu. Of curse, teachers dn’t either, but fr sme peple, cmmunicating with a bt may erase that fear f failure r shyness.
The latest chatbts use smething called natural language prcessing that allws them t understand human speech r writing, prviding a human-like respnse right away. While chatbts are extremely useful fr learners wrking individually, teachers can als ffer curse material and ask an AI system t prduce persnalized textbks fr grups f students. The AI can als prvide feedback (反馈) in secnds—gne are the days f waiting a week fr wrk t be graded.
Past nline language tls and games were able t tell yu when yu were wrng, but they weren’t always able t explain why. Nw, nt nly has that changed, but the explanatins are detailed and immediate. But this is nt t underestimate the rle f the teacher, wh can use the technlgy t help learn mre abut the strengths and shrtcmings f their students and persnalize their teaching.
S, if yu want t impress yur friends with yur perfect speech, dn’t be afraid f AI. Just think f it as a useful tl fr bth teachers and language learners, which will give yu mre time and space t enjy learning smething new!
