DRAFT
NG:
In "Extreme perception and animal intelligence", the authors Temple Grandin and
Catherine Johnson mention that the intelligence of animals due to their great
perception. They claim that animals are very intelligent. As an example, they
mention dogs thar use their sense of perception to notice that a seizure is
approaching, and they also mention a horse that achieved to count on its own.
The first history is about how some dogs use their great sense of perception to
predict seizures. Some dogs are trained to act after a seizure has started. For
example, Grandin explains that those dogs can even pass medicine and phones to
their owner and these are things all dogs can be taught to do. But some dogs that
can perceive gestures that let them know that their owners will have a seizure up to
30 minutes before. These dogs read their little signs that are invisible to people.
Some dogs can learn on their own to use their perception to a better level than
humans are capable of teaching them.
The second story is about a horse that apparently could solve mathematical
problems using his perception to read people's answers, his name was Clever Hans. 
Clever Hans could count on making the sound at the time of his answer with his
paw. He could answer math questions,but the person asking them had to know the
answer since Clever Hans got the answer by reading the person who asked. Clever
Hans didn't know exactly how to count, but he could get the answers by reading
the behavior of humans using his perception.
Clever Hans and the seizure alert dogs learn to use his sense of perception without
human help,making them smart. Nobody could teach them to do it. What makes
these animals smart is that they didn't have to learn to do what they learned.

Awesome life now in 2175. I
have a foster son and I am
divorced. I do
everything for him since
he is my inspiration to
continue. He has
studied at school since he was
5 years old. He's so young,
I'm in love

Now I am in my spaceship

my robot, which is very

punctuality and getting

essential for my boss.
Now living is amazing
because there are advanced

However, sometimes there are
drawbacks
because humans are not
perfect when it comes to
building new
inventions.
Sometimes I remember how
life was like a hundred years

health, but I don't care
because now everything make

Now my life has advantages
that make me feel more
comfortable. For
example, there are robots
capable of performing many
of the human
activities. When you go to a
shopping center, a robot
welcomes you
and invites you to buy the
modern spaceships created to
transport
people from one place to
another. It is as if they told
you, "Being
flying in the sky allows you to
see the moon playing hide and
seek
with the clouds." It's
awesome! Another amazing
thing is that
scientists discovered the way
of living under the sea where
dolphins
dance like experienced
dancers. Also, another good
thing is that all
types of cancer have been
overcome because medicine
has evolved.
People would say that
everything looks perfect, what
problems could
there be? However, now
there are some problems
to face. For
example, the environment has
become extremely polluted
because
there are nuclear plants
in every country, making
two continents
uninhabitable. Another
negative point is that some
people get bored
because they don't know
what to do because
robots do almost
everything. Many poor people
lost their jobs after being
replaced by
robots. Also, mid-air
crashes have increased
because many people
use their spaceships which
don't work very well.
In conclusion, technology has
made my life more
comfortable, but at
the same time it has
increased the pollution of
the world and
accidents. I am happy for the

Descriptive Essay

It is at least 6 am on Friday, August 18, 2175, and some stores are closed. I was
going out to buy some things, when a robot told me:, "You have to wear your protecting
uniform..." This special one seems like an astronaut uniform made of rubber because it
was a rainy day. A spherical and light helmet made of glass. In addition, the vigorous
helmet had two flexible tubes that transported oxygen and deleted carbon dioxide. But it
just gets me more worrisome. Each person that I saw looked like a robot, but they kept
their faces and gave a friendly gesture. Every time I recall my experiences since I’ve
been immortal, I can acknowledge that my life has had happy and unhappy
situations.
Since I’ve been immortal, I can get into some emphatic happy situations. I
had had around five occupations. I have been a biologist, a physician, a filmmaker, a
painter, and an actor. I couldn’t describe how much happiness I’ve felt in these years. I’ve
taught in unified universities where people from a lot of countries could go across their
minds. They only needed to scan a numerical code that was located in their hands. After
that, I produced some 6D movies. I’ve been studying a new technological device that
allows people to enjoy movies and series. This device was put on cellphones and people
could be transported to a new experience as if they were part of a film. I live in a house
that contains organic materials and it’s made by loveless robots. They’re fast. While
they’re working, I could spend more time with my friends and family. I usually visit them. I
was dating some people. I hope I had a secure relationship. I wanted to have only two or
three children. My immortal life has given me awesome moments that I won’t ever forget. 
Despite my immortal life, I’ve had some unhappy situations. I could have had
more than five occupations, but I didn’t earn enough money to do it. I worked all the time
inevitably, and that just provoked anxiety. As a filmmaker, I had to borrow money from the
bank in order to fund some projects. For a long time, the houses were physically separated
from one another because I couldn't stand my neighbors. I’ve had some friends who
change their own houses every decade or once a century. However, robots are super-fast;
they just obey me. They can’t have a good conversation as well as people. By the way, my
communication with my parents has had insufferable moments. My parents argued with
me about my dates. They believed they could control my life. If only I could meet someone
special for me! I thought I’d never get married. So, I wouldn’t have my adorable children. I
will be immortal, but I’ve been living alone all this time.
When I remember my life as an immortal woman, I am able to think about
good and bad moments. I read a quote from an old book where Mark Twain said, "The
secret of getting ahead is getting started." In the next century, I hope my life will be totally
different. I already don’t want to be immortal!
