READING AND WRITING – PART 6

QUESTIONS 29 - 35. Read the passage
about places to go on vacation.

For
each question, mark A, B, or C.
ROBOTS TEACHERS

Do you
think that robots could never do what a doctor or teachers do? It's easy to
imagine robot cleaners and factory
workers, but some jobs need human
connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do?
In
some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness.
Also, some patients might feel more
comfortable sharing personal
information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots
in
education after all?
British
education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for
the robot takeover of the classroom:
2027. He predicts robots will do the
main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants.
Intelligent
robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even
brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to
each student. It's
not a popular opinion and it´s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and
the ability to really connect
with humans like another human can.

One
thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.
In some parts of the world, there aren't
enough teachers and 9–16 per
cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem
could be partly
solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't
get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier,
higher-paid job.
Those
negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all
over the world are leaving because
it is a difficult job and they feel
overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace
teachers?' but 'How can
robots help teachers?' Office workers can
use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings
and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work,
including more than 11 hours a week
marking homework. If robots could cut
the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers
would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Example:  You can try only American food.
