Are we going to be replaced by machines?
I’m going to summarize a conference from Ted (ted dot com) with the title “The jobs we’ll lose to machines and the ones we won’t”.
Machines are becoming smarter in processing data and trying to predict and mimic human behaviours. Some studies show a future where machines will be able to complete more human tasks in a more efficient way and will be more difficult to find a job. Technics like Machine Learning derived from Artificial Intelligence are the basis of this new revolution.
The question is what kind of jobs are in danger because of the automation. Machines are better than us processing large amounts of data and completing repetitive tasks. Jobs based on this kind of tasks will likely be eliminated and developed by machines.
But we are better than machines in tasks not based (completely) in past data. We are talking about correlation of novel situations or solving new problems (for example, definition of a business strategy and, in general, activities with a high percentage of creativity).

Monday morning
It's Monday morning again and I'm taking my car to pick up my sister. The weather is cloudy and windy and the traffic is fluent.
I'm thinking about the amount of work I have to do today while I'm waiting to the traffic light. I have decided I'm going to try to relax myself. The past week was very stressful but this Monday will be different.
Finally I put some music on the radio of my car. The sun starts to shine and I realize I'm singing.

English is not easy
In my opinion, learning English is not easy. And this is not a problem. Let me explain why I'm saying this.
I have realized the best things aren't always the easiest things to achieve or maybe they aren't truly possible. For example, I'm 36 years old and I know I'm never going to speak as a native. It doesn't depend on the time of studying or practicing.
But, on the other hand, I'm enjoying following this learning path, making new friends and new experiences.
For this reason, It's worth learning English.

The answer from my friend
Hi Joaquin!
Thank you for your advice. I was thinking about what option I can choose to invest my money, and finally I have made a decision. I'm going to buy a new laptop, but trying to balance its features with my wallet. It would be marvellous if I could buy the most expensive laptop at shopping centre but this is not necessary to write my essays.
It's true I also need to buy some clothes but I think I'm going to wait for Black Friday to try to afford some bargains.
Oh, but, what about you? You must be bored of my silly things.
Your brother told me you are enjoying with your new swimming classes. Is this true? I was shocked with this because you always said you hated swimming. What has it changed in these weeks? I hope you will reveal the mystery.
Big hugs and I look forward to your reply.
Alex.

A letter to my friend
Hi Alex!
I'm so glad to read you. Congratulations for passing the exam. You are lucky your parents give you some money to celebrate it. I think you have to be careful with money and try to save up a bit.
On the other hand, maybe it's a good option to buy some new clothes. Yesterday I went to a shopping centre and I got a new leather jacket and a pullover. The pullover is red striped with a weird picture in the back. I think you can buy something like this. If you are more patient It's a good option to try to save up a bit more money and buy a laptop. You need a laptop to write your essays and improve with your English (watching movies with subtitles, studying free resources and connecting with other students who want to improve with languages as well).
I hope my advices would be valuable for you.
Keep in touch.
Joaquín.
