Instructions:Your essay should be no less than 150 words.
Directions:You are to write an essay on the topic\Will Computers Replace Us?\ You should base your essay
on the outline below. 范文：
1．计算机在工作中的表现。 2．计算机是否将取代人类。
3．你的理由
As is the case we can see, the rapid development of computer technology is exerting profound impact on our life, almost in every aspect. In addition to the use in working, computers are finding their way into the home. They are so intelligent that they seem to be able to solve all problems; consequently, some people say that it will sooner or later take the place of human beings.
As for me, I firmly hold the view that there is no such possibility on the grounds that computers are but machines, made by humans. They can only do as humans instruct them and our tasks are far too complicated for any machines to undertake.
For human, there is one thing that computers can never accomplish, that is, the former can make decision by their own while the latter can do nothing unless they are programmed.
In my opinion, computers will remain nothing but an extension of human brains, no matter how clever and sophisticated they will become.
