ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot（聊天机器人） tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a their homework.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and e-mails, create recipes（食谱）, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned（禁止） the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks and devices（设备）.

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate（不准确的） information.

"It does not build critical-thinking（批判性思维） and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic（学术的） and lifelong success," said Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary of the New York City Department of Education.

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.

However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting（起草） policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor（副校长） for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible（明智的）. "We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use," he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is "adapt our learning, teaching and examinations". That way, we can "have integrity（诚信） while recognizing the use of the tool".

Each year, Lunar New Year is symbolised by one of 12 zodiac animals.

This is based on a story about the Jade Emperor trying to find a way to measure time. He told the animals they were to compete in a race. The first 12 animals to complete the race would be rewarded by having a year named after them. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. The last time there was Year of the Rabbit was in 2011. The next one will not be until 2035.

In the story of the Jade Emperor, the rabbit was the fourth animal to complete the race. The rabbit was so confident that he would win that he took a nap allowing three other animals to arrive before him.

In traditional Chinese Culture. Rabbits are quiet and agile（敏捷的）, which suits traditional Chinese aesthetic（审美的） values of being gentle and cultivated（有教养的）.There is a view in Chinese culture that rabbits are smart and gentle. This is shown by the phrase "dongrutuotu", a Chinese idiom used to describe people who are as smart and agile as rabbits. So it is believed that people who were born in the year of the rabbit would have the characteristics including being kind, agile, quiet and responsible.

There is also a Legend about a Jade Rabbit living on the moon which is the pet of Chang' e, a goddess widely known in China. This can explain why rabbits are regarded as an auspicious（吉祥的） sign.

In addition, in ancient China, people generally believed that the more children you have, the luckier and happier you will be. This belief makes the rabbit a popular symbol of good luck and fortune, because the rabbit is naturally full of vitality（活力） and fertility（生育能力）.

So, now it's the rabbit's turn. Maybe the Year of the Rabbit can bring you good luck!

"Life's a long, long journey." so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some ideas of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories（类别）:

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?

Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?

Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do? Pleasure—

How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
