Sometimes it's difficult to create a motivational text so that students are “on top” with your subject. Within the Training with Artificial Intelligence, with this fortnight's prompt, we're going to see how to make ChatGPT help us with this.
I am a teacher and I am preparing the presentation sheet for the Latin subject. Create some motivational paragraphs addressed to my students explaining the importance of the subject for the future. Write in Spanish from Spain.
This is an example of what it returns to us:
Dear students,
The study of Latin is a window into the past, an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the richness of classical culture and understand the roots of our own language. By mastering Latin, they will be able to access a wide range of literary, historical and philosophical texts that have shaped our current society. In addition, it will provide them with a solid base for learning other Romance languages, such as Spanish, French or Italian.
But beyond its historical and linguistic value, Latin also develops fundamental skills for the future. The study of this subject promotes critical thinking, analytical skills and precision in written expression. These skills are highly valued in today's world of work, where effective communication and the ability to solve problems are key to success.
In addition, Latin will give them an advantage in studying other disciplines, such as medicine, law or philosophy. Many technical and scientific terms have their origin in Latin, so their knowledge will allow them to understand and use these concepts correctly, facilitating their learning in specific areas.
Let us not forget either the value of perseverance and discipline that the study of Latin requires. Through this course, they will learn to face challenges and overcome obstacles, developing a mindset of perseverance and determination that will be useful in any aspect of their lives.
In short, studying Latin will not only provide them with a deep knowledge of our history and culture, but it will also equip them with fundamental skills for the future. I encourage you to make the most of this course, to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Latin language and to discover everything it has to offer.
I wish you a successful and enriching academic year!
Sincerely,
[Teacher's name]
Maybe we don't end up liking the excessively formal tone... let's make a small variation and see the effect: we'll add “Use an informal but correct tone.”
I am a teacher and I am preparing the presentation sheet for the Latin subject. Create some motivational paragraphs addressed to my students explaining the importance of the subject for the future. Write in Spanish from Spain. Use an informal but correct tone.
And we see how the result is markedly different:
Hello boys and girls!
Welcome to the wonderful adventure of Latin! I know that some of you may be thinking: “Latin? Seriously? What will it do for me in the future?” But let me tell you that this subject has much more to offer than you can imagine.
Latin is like the DNA of Romance languages, that is, the origin of our own language, Spanish. By studying Latin, not only will you learn an ancient and fascinating language, but you will also better understand the structure and vocabulary of our own language. Did you know that more than 60% of words in Spanish have Latin roots? Incredible, right?!
But that's not all. Latin is like a trip back in time, an open window to ancient Rome and its culture. Through classic texts, you can immerse yourself in the lives of great characters such as Julius Caesar, Cicero or Virgil, and discover how they thought and lived at that time. In addition, you will better understand the influence of Roman culture on our current society, from law to architecture, through literature and art.
But what about the future? I assure you that Latin will open doors for you that you don't even know exist. By studying this subject, you will develop skills such as analysis, logic and the capacity for abstraction, which will be useful in any professional field you choose. In addition, Latin is especially valued in careers such as Law, Medicine, History or Philology, among others.
So, dear students, I encourage you to embark on this linguistic and cultural adventure. Not only will Latin help you to better understand the world around you, but it will also allow you to discover new ways of thinking and expressing yourself. You won't regret it!
See you in class!
To hug,
[your name]
