What do you think school education means?
Andy's parents used to tell him important school was for him, but he paid little attention to it. One day, when he walked past a mobile phone company, he saw an advertisement.
"Sir, are you hiring people?" he went into the company and asked, "Yes, but you should be the man who we need, "the manager answered. He looked at him for a few seconds from head to foot. "Do you have a high school diploma (文凭)? Or do you have any work experience?"
He felt so ashamed and uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say, because he has neither of them. Then he just turned around and left He could not fall asleep that night，and he thought a lot about his future. "I must go to school or I can't do anything without a good education, "he said to himself silently. He decided to finish his study and got a diploma.
Few years later, when he returned to the company facing the same people, he had more confidence this time. He showed his diploma to the manager. He looked at it and said, "Great, welcome to join our company."
Now he is still working in the same company. With this experience, he always advise people to attend school. Education helps you have a bright future. Now he is not worried about his future because he is still learning in his spare time.
When you're not at home, many worries may start to fill your mind. Did I turn off TV? Did I close the door? With a smart (智能的) home, you can keep all of these worries off.
A smart home is a home with a network (网络). This network connects many things in our houses, such as our lights and TV sets, and allows controlling everything in your home from far away through your mobile phone over the Internet.
More and more people may start to get a smart home, because it makes life much easier. It can help you know what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on holiday abroad, you can use a smart home app to turn on or off the lights, the fridge and so on. Some smart homes can even feed the cat and water the flowers.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix and people can use the instruction to build the smart homes. When something wrong appears, you can only use the instruction to deal with it yourself without paying anybody.
But for home— users, the smart home can be quite expensive to get. Also, because the smart home system (系统) allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it is easy for bad people to secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure— the smart home will change the way we live and work.
