"Sora"is a new model created by OpenAI, an American company. The cool model is surprising the world. It doesn't just make text and pictures for us anymore. It can turn your words into videos like magic! Just tell Sora your ideas and watch it make a video right before your eyes.
Whether on a large TV or a small smartphone, Sora's videos are always easy to watch and enjoy. Sora can also make scenes with lots of people doing different things with clear details(细节). It's also learning how things should look in real life.
Why is it so good? Sora is a good learner. It looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small parts. It uses these parts to make a new video. The new video is gray at first and you can't tell what's in it. Then, Sora overhauls the video until it looks fine. Sora also gets help from ChatGPT. It can turn the user's short sentences into clear instructions. This helps Sora make the video just as you asked.
OpenAI is still testing Sora, so it is far from perfect. Sora may find"busy"pictures hard to understand. For example, when a person moves, things around them change. Sora can' t make everything look real. In one video created by Sora, a grandma blows the candle on a birthday cake, but the flame(火焰) doesn't move. Besides, Sora may not be able to tell"left"from"right"and mess up a person's leg movements(移动).

A girl shares her different middle school experiences
How time flies! I have studied in my middle school in Hong Kong for more than three months. At first, I was really not sure about everything, but now I feel more confident and I really love my school.
In Hong Kong, schools give students a lot of free time. This helps students learn how to manage their time. Our school day ends around 2 or 3 p. m. every day, so students can join interest classes and school clubs after school. I have joined the swimming team practice on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
However, the rules here are quite strict. During the first week, we got a handbook(手册). It has rules about homework, hair and what to wear. If our hair reaches our shoulders, we have to tie it up. We must wear white socks and sports shoes. As for schoolwork, we have to hand it in on time. If we don't follow the rules, we will lose points and have to write a reflection(自我反省)about it.
The balance between free time and strict rules has shaped my learning experience. I'm really looking forward to my next year in Hong Kong! Shao Pinglan, Pei Zheng Middle School in Hong Kong
