Computers

B1–B2

Computers are amazing machines. They can do many things like store information, play games and connect to the internet.

The internet is a place where you can find lots of information about anything you want. You can also talk to people from all over the world. It's very easy to use.

First, you need to turn on your computer and wait for it to start up. Then you need to open your browser. Once you're online, you can search for information using a search engine. You can also send emails to friends or family who live far away.

There are many social media websites where you can share photos and videos with your friends.

Computers have made our lives easier and more interesting. However, we should be careful when using them. We should not give out our personal information to strangers or click on suspicious links.

Computers are great tools for learning, working and having fun!

Artificial Intelligence — B2–C1

Applications, ethics, study, careers and AI assistants.

Text 1 — AI: Artificial IntelligenceApplications and ethical questions.

AI: Artificial Intelligence

B2–C1

Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is a rapidly growing field. It involves the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions and learning from experience.

One common application of AI is the development of chatbots, computer programs designed to simulate conversation with human users. Chatbots can be used by companies to provide customer support and assistance.

AI is also used in healthcare research and tools, including systems that analyze patient data to identify patterns and support diagnosis or treatment planning. Performance depends on the specific system, data and task.

In transportation, AI is used in the development of automated and self-driving vehicle technologies. Such systems may improve safety and traffic efficiency, although their real-world performance and regulation remain important considerations.

There are also ethical concerns about AI, including job displacement, privacy, bias, security and responsible use.

Overall, artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving field with the potential to transform many aspects of our lives. As the technology develops, it is important to consider its impact on society and use it responsibly.

B2–C1

As a computer science major, Sarah had always been fascinated by artificial intelligence. She spent countless hours reading books and articles, trying to understand how machines could be programmed to learn and solve problems. Finally, she enrolled in an AI course at her university.

The course was challenging, but Sarah was determined to succeed. She spent long hours in the computer lab, working on coding exercises and experimenting with different algorithms. She also joined a study group, which helped her understand more complex concepts.

One day, her professor announced a competition: students had to design an AI program that could play chess by evaluating positions and choosing strong moves. Sarah saw it as a chance to put her skills to the test. She spent weeks tweaking the code and testing it repeatedly.

On the day of the competition, Sarah's heart was racing as she watched her program compete against those of her classmates. The tension in the room was palpable as the programs played move by move. Finally, Sarah's program emerged victorious.

Her classmates congratulated her, and her professor was impressed. Sarah felt proud of her accomplishment. From that moment on, she knew she wanted to dedicate her career to artificial intelligence.
