I moved to the United States as a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.

Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I didn’t take art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said, “Think about the future”, I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested it that urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.

I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me a question: “Wow! Do I really want to do this? ” But I finally survived the course.

Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior(室内) design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.

Throughout my career, I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working. Therefore, you can get as many projects as possible. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger:drunken pedestrians(行人).

Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are drunken more frequently and with higher blood alcohol levels than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents. Various studies have shown forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in deadly crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 which by law in most states signifies intoxication (醉酒) compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents according to recent federal data.

Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in US traffic accidents is at least 7 000 or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.

"We're dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem", said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc. , in Norwalk Coon.

Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research Council's Transportation Research Board (TRE) in Washington in January.

Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past according to Kay Colpitts who chairs the board's committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits she said and researchers have been puzzled about how to prevent disasters.

If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers atop of the list, it's easy to imagine robots and factory workers. But are we underestimating what robots can do？

In some cases, they already do better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all？

British education expert Anthony Seldom thinks so. He even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He forecasts that robots will do the main job of disseminating knowledge and teachers will be like helpers. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and even brain signals. Then they will pass the information on to each student in the way he or she can understand.

However, it's not a popular opinion. Most people think it's impossible that robots will have the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9%—16% of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.

Being a teacher is a difficult job and teachers often feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?” but “How can't robots help teachers?” Teachers spend a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 1 hour a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
