Exercise 5. Read the passage then do the tasks.

Jessica:
I think it would be really cool to have a robot to do all the housework in my home. It could do all those jobs I hate like doing the washing up and tidying my room.

I find the idea of robots looking like, and even acting like humans, pretty scary. It is like one of those disturbing futuristic science fiction film.
Kim:
It’s like any new technology. You have to learn to use it wisely. We will soon get used to more robots in our lives. We will soon wonder how we ever lived without them.
Mahmoud:
I have heard there is a robot you can send to school and that will even do your homework for you.
Roberta:
@Steve
I read an article on the internet about people falling in love with their robot because it was so realistic.

Yes, but aren’t all these robots just taking jobs. The only winners will be companies who can save money from not having to employ real people.
Jake:
@ Mahmoud
I want one! Where can I buy one?
