Many of you already use ChatGPT for tasks in English, including writing emails and daily work repsponsibilities. Not only is the AI tool becoming more popular with students, but its capabilities are progressing too. So we are left with the question: If students use calculators for mathematics, is it time to let students use ChatGPT for their English work?

Other stories include the rapid rise of Temu, the commerce app fighting for the customers of Shein and Amazon, and a video that further explores the topics from last week’s video — do you think differently in different languages?

Here are some interesting stories that I have found this week. With different topics, I am sure you will find something that is new and challenging for you. Why not use this as a chance to learn some new language?

Try to note some new language that you see or hear in the articles or video and bring it to the class.
