Nowadays, technology is developing at an alarming rate. While some people are thrilled with the benefits technology brings to everyday life, others are fearful about the results such advanced technology might have for humankind and suggest we stop relying on it altogether. Do you agree or disagree?

My intro:
Technology has become more and more common in our daily life. People can leave the boring work to the AI, but it also lead to high dependence. I agree that we should do things by ourselves more often to reduce the unemployment rate and not be controlled by machines.]]> 2023-06-28 07:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christyrv7/txrhbvpoenfqfwcq/wish/2634185940 Prepare a speech christyrv7 https://padlet.com/christyrv7/txrhbvpoenfqfwcq/wish/2634211194 A.

Your fluency and words choice is fantastic! 
You are able to communicate your ideas well and your pronunciation is clear. 

A few tense errors in your speaking (but don't worry, these will improve with time and practice) e.g. ...because I went to the hospital very often = ...because I go to hospital very often. We use "go" instead of "went" because its an action that you continue to do in the future. 

Be careful of repetition of words e.g. "because...because..." Try to vary your words to show the full range of your vocabulary.

However, this balancing system is currently under threat by human activities." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people tend to use renewable energy such as nuclear energy. It can produce electricity without causing air pollution.
For example, nuclear power produces virtually no carbon dioxide when they burned since they're generated through a process called nuclear fission, and this fission could last for a long times which mean it's able to generate electricity continuously and stably.
Considering the problems of environmental pollution and regeneration, I think nuclear energy is currently a relatively environmentally friendly energy source.
Disagree(J):
Although some people might think that nuclear energy is green energy because it wouldn't cause air pollution, however, the fact is it cause the pollution of the surrounding sea area. and the radiation energy is harmful to human body. Which shows that nuclear energy isn't as good as people thought.
The total number of casualties in Chernobyl was estimated at 93,000 by Greenpeace and now Pripyat has become an evacuation zone, beside that, the food chain of many surrounding countries are also affected by radiation, which in turn affects human health.
The negative impact from nuclear power is far greater than we thought, not only to human health but also to the whole world, which is closely related.]]> 2023-07-05 12:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/christyrv7/txrhbvpoenfqfwcq/wish/2638791125 Listening Exam Practice christyrv7 https://padlet.com/christyrv7/txrhbvpoenfqfwcq/wish/2639730701 1. the other hand
