Automated（自动化的） kitchens aren't only in shows like Star Trek. Now, robots can cook chicken, make pizzas and salads. AI can create recipes （食谱） depending on what's in the kitchen. More plans are being made to automate great dining kitchens.
At first, technology is often expensive, so restaurants and other businesses use AI kitchen technologies first. Later on, the prices might drop enough for people to use at home. This could change how homes and society work.
The good things about AI kitchens are that cooks don't have to do boring tasks like peeling potatoes or standing at a work area for a long time. This gives them time to do more important things. For people who want personalized food, AI can meet different special diets and tastes.
But there are also risks. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communicating and expressing oneself. But if humans aren't needed in kitchens anymore, these benefits might disappear. Family relationships might not be good without a kitchen where people work together.
Also, the kitchen is like a science lab at home. It's important for science education. Cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem- solving.
We also need to think about cultural risks. For example, AI might mess up traditional recipes and methods. It might make cultural details（细节） seem the same or too simple. This could mean that AI and robot cooks make fewer different dishes. If we depend too much on technology to make food, there might not be much variety（多样化） in taste. It's like how AI art pictures on different apps seem similar.
Convenience can have a high cost. So it's important to think about the possible social problems that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are important to our daily lives.

Recently, a primary school in Jiangsu, brought out a new policy(政策) about homework. Students should stop doing homework at 9 pm, even if they haven't finished all of it. They don't need to make it up the next day. This is to make sure that students have enough sleep time. Do you think it's a good idea?
Yes Kids should get about 10 hours of sleep every day. The best time to sleep is between 9:00pm to 9:30 pm. This is because we kids are at the peak(高峰期) of our physical growth. The time between 10 pm to 1 am is especially important for our growth. At the same time, not having enough sleep will make us feel tired. For example, once I slept late, I would feel sleepy and upset the next morning. Yu Haozhe,15 |
No Even if we don't study after 9 pm, many teenagers will not go to bed. They may play games or watch TV. Also, finishing homework is our main task as students. If you don't do homework, how can you improve yourself? So I want to say that our study should not be limited by time. We should improve our study efficiency(效率)according to our own situation. Lin Sinuo,15 |
