The teacher is writing on the blackboard and the students are sitting in their seats. They are likely to use paper books for studies. The overall setting is quite conventional (传统的；常规的).In the second picture, a modern teaching method is shown. The teacher is using a large screen instead of a blackboard. There may be some advanced teaching machines. The way of teaching seems more technology-based compared to the first one.Which kind of school do you like?The fun they had1 In her diary, on 17 May 2157, Margie wrote: “Today, Tommy found a real book!”2 It was a very old book. They turned the old, yellow pages. It was strange to read the words. They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen.3 “What a waste!” said Tommy. “When you finish the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have a million books on it! I wouldn't throw it away.”4 Margie asked, “What's the book about?”5 “School.”2157年5月17日他们翻开又旧又黄的页面。它们在纸上一动不动而没有在屏幕上移动真浪费！读完这本书Read the passage. 2P60把它扔掉这本书讲的是什么？6 “Why would anyone write about school?”7 “Because it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago. They had a teacher, but it was a person. There was a special building, and all the kids and teachers went there.”8 Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, “Margie! School!”9 Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. Her teacher was a machine. It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: “Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening.”来自几百年前该上学了！就在她的卧室旁边机器开着，等着她。亮着把昨天的作业放入开口处10 Margie did so sadly. She was thinking about the old schools.

These robot teachers can answer students' questions in real time, mark (评分) papers quickly, and even provide emotional support for students. Write a short passage to describe digital life in 50 years' time.P635Organise your ideas with the chart below. I believe that people's life will be more digital in 50 years' time. With the development of technology, digital devices will play a more important role in our daily life. People will use smart devices for almost everything. Robots will do all the chores and help us manage schedules at home. Schools will use virtual reality（虚拟现实）for lessons, allowing students to “visit” historic sites or “explore” space. In my opinion, such changes will have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it will make life convenient; but on the other hand, people may become lazy and spend less time on face- to-face communication. Overall, it will depend on how we balance digital devices and real - life connections.Check.
