script: 
因为我儿子今年初三。所以我之前跟他交流过。他大学应该读什么专业？什么专业更适合于他的这个性格特征？和适合他长项。我当时记得我跟我儿子说了一句话。我说你不管你将来选择什么样的职业，一定不要和选择和机器竞争的职业。等你毕业的时候，人工智能一定会方兴未艾。你那个时候去和机器竞争。你根本不是他的对手。工业革命解决了。人的一些工作由机器来承担，他解决了人的这个体力问题。而信息革命，他将解决人类的智力问题。所以我们会看到在未来10年，20年，很多的工作将会被机器承担。而我们在选择择业的时候，我们就要考虑还有什么样的工作是机器承担不了的。这是我们要去看到的第一个趋势。

选择   xuǎn zé ；to choose
人工智能  rén gōng zhì néng； artificial intelligence (AI)

translation:
Because my son is in the third year of junior high school. So I talked to him before. What major should he study in college.What major is more suitable for his character,and suits his strengths. I remember I told him that no matter what career you choose in the future, never choose an industry that competes with robots. By the time you graduate, artificial intelligence will be in the ascendant. If you go compete with robots then. You can't beat them. The Industrial Revolution has solved the problem that some of the work of man is undertaken by the robots, which solves the physical problem of human beings. As for the information revolution, it will solve the problem of human intelligence. So we will see the fact that in 10 or 20 years, a lot of work will be done by robots. And when we choose a career, we have to consider what kind of jobs can’t be undertaken by robots. This is the first factor we need to consider.

Verbs of Motion

Growing up in Kerala — the words for children, the language adults use with the young, and the ceremony in which a Malayali child is given the alphabet.

I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.

THE WORDS
കുട്ടി - kutti - child
കുഞ്ഞ് - kunju - baby, and a term of endearment for anyone smaller than you
ആൺകുട്ടി - aankutti - boy
പെൺകുട്ടി - penkutti - girl
പയ്യൻ - payyan - a boy, a lad
മകൻ / മകൾ - makan / makal - son / daughter

THE TWO YOU WILL HEAR A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY
മോൻ - mon - literally son
മോൾ - mol - literally daughter
Used constantly as affectionate address to any young person, and by older people to adults far younger than themselves. If a woman of seventy calls you മോനേ or മോളേ, you have been treated as family, and the correct response is to be pleased.

THE GRAMMAR HIDING IN THAT — THE VOCATIVE
Malayalam has a distinct form for calling to someone. It generally lengthens the final vowel into ഏ or ആ.
മോൻ → മോനേ
മോൾ → മോളേ
ചേട്ടൻ → ചേട്ടാ
അമ്മ → അമ്മേ
You have been hearing it all along without being told it had a name.

വിദ്യാരംഭം — THE GIVING OF THE ALPHABET
On വിജയദശമി, small children are made to write their first letters, traditionally in a tray of rice, with an elder guiding the finger. It is one of the gentlest ceremonies anywhere: a culture treating the alphabet as something given, by a person, on a day worth remembering.

Were you taught to write by someone holding your hand? Tell me who.
