People began to make robots about several hundred years ago. In the past, some of the early ones looked like animals or humans. However, they couldn't talk and were pretty dumb. They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again.
Now modern robots don’t always look like people. Some are like big machines, and others are nothing but long arms attached to boxy(四四方方的)bodies. However, modern robots are smart, some can solve problems on their own. Their brains are computers and their eyes are sensors(传感器). Motors (发动机) help them move.
In the future, robots will learn from their mistakes more than they will do now. They will be smarter. It s possible that we will have robot judges, robot household workers and robot factory workers. Robots will help people to do more things.

A kind of little cars may someday take the place of today's cars. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution from the cars. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities and the streets will be less crowded. Three such cars can park in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas(汽油). If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future.

What do you think the life in the future will be like
In the future there will be computers in every family. Computers will help us to know a lot all over the world. We will be able to talk by e-mail. Scientists will make many robots. Robots can help us to do some cleaning, do some cooking and do some washing. We can do some shopping and see a doctor without going out of our homes.
The life in the future will be good. For this, we will study hard. I believe we'll be able to do this.
