My robot in the future
I think I will have my own robot in the future. It will look like humans and do the same things as a person. My robot will be able to talk to me and help me do the most boring jobs, such as cleaning, shopping, cooking and so on. Sometimes it will also be able to play with me like my good friend and make me happy. I hope robots in the future won’t be too expensive.
