  2. Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

💡 À retenir : Science is the "why" and "how" of nature; technology is the "tool" we build from it.

How should I introduce the ethical dilemma in an essay?
  1. Start with a hook (a general statement about progress).
  2. Define the technology briefly.
  3. State the conflict (e.g., "While X offers benefits, it poses significant ethical risks").

💡 À retenir : Focus on the consequences of technology, not the dates.

How to handle the "Reported Speech" in an argumentative essay?
  1. Use it to introduce expert opinions: "The researcher stated that AI would change the future."
  2. Ensure the tense shifts correctly (e.g., will becomes would).

💡 À retenir : Reporting experts adds credibility to your argument.

Is "genetic engineering" always bad?
  1. No, it has medical benefits (curing diseases).
  2. The ethical issue is about "designer babies" or playing with nature.

💡 À retenir : Nuance is essential; distinguish between medical necessity and moral overreach.

How long should my essay be?
  1. Follow the instructions on the exam paper (usually 200-250 words).
  2. Quality over quantity.

💡 À retenir : A well-structured essay with clear arguments is better than a long, messy one.

Can I use "I think" in my essay?
  1. It is better to use formal expressions like "It is argued that" or "One might suggest".

💡 À retenir : Academic writing prefers impersonal structures.

What if I don't know a specific word?

  2. Don't leave a blank space.

💡 À retenir : Use simple, clear English rather than complex words you aren't sure about.
