Why is the passive voice used
The passive voice is used to focus on the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. It is used when we don’t know the performer, or the performer is unimportant (and therefore omitted), or the performer is to be highlighted (and therefore placed toward the end).

The Passive Voice 被动语态
语态是动词的一种形式，用来说明主语和谓语动词之间的关系。
英语动词有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者，被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。
使用被动语态的句子，谓语动词的形式是“be +动词过去分词”。
1.常见时态的被动语态
时态 被动语态的构成 例句
一般现在时 am / is / are +过去分词 The school walls are painted every year.
一般过去时 was / were +过去分词 I was invited to the talk show yesterday.
一般将来时 will / shall + be +过去分词 The matter will be looked into in the future.
现在完成时 have / has + been +过去分词 The ship has been repaired.
现在进行时 am / is / are + being +过去分词 Two men are being questioned by the police.
过去进行时 was / were + being +过去分词 The roads were being built when I passed by.
不定式的被动式
当不定式的逻辑主语是这个不定式表示的动作的承受者时，不定式一般要用被动形式。不定式的被动形式根据其与谓语动词所表示的动作发生的先后顺序，有一般式和完成式两种形式。
(1)一般式to be done
These are the books to be given out to the students.
这些是要发给学生的书。
He asked to be sent to the place where he was most needed.
他要求被派往最需要他的地方。
(2)完成式to have been done
to have been done表示不定式的动作先于谓语动词的动作发生。
The novel is said to have been translated into many languages.
据说这部小说已被译成多种语言。
He appeared to have been questioned for many times.
看来他已经被询问过很多次了。
过去进行时的被动式
表示过去某个时刻正在进行或者发生的被动性的动作。过去进行时的被动语态构成：was / were + being +动词的过去分词。
过去进行时态的被动语态的基本结构的构成：
（1）过去进行时态的被动语态的肯定式为：
was/were+being+done。
Computer was being majored by him during his college.
他那时正在大学学计算机专业。
（2）过去进行时态的被动语态的否定式为：
was/were+not+being+done。
The movie star was not being stalked by a fan.
那个电影明星正在被一个粉丝跟踪.
（3）过去进行时态的被动语态的一般疑问句需将was/were提到主语的前面。（回答用yes或no）
Was a new library being put up in their school just then？
他们学校当时正在建一座新图书馆吗。
（4）过去进行时态的被动语态的特殊疑问句为：疑问词+was/were+(主语)+being+done。
What was being done to the machine
对这台机器要采取了什么措施？
过去进行时态的被动语态的用法：
（1）过去进行时态的被动语态的同它的主动语态一样，表示过去正在进行的被动动作。
This film is being shown now.
这部电影正在被放映。
（2）过去进行时态的被动语态一般不与表示一段时间的状语或表示次数的状语连用，这时需要用完成时态的被动语态。
The house over there is being built for two months.
改成The house over there has been built for two months.
（3）少数及物动词的的进行时表示按计划、安排将要承受某个动作。
Some rock music is being played by them next.
下面将由他们演奏一些摇滚音乐。
2. 特殊结构的被动形式
(1) 双宾动词的被动结构
双宾动词变为被动结构时, 一般将主动结构中的间接宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 直接宾语不变。如将主动结构中的直接宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 间接宾语之前则应加介词to或for。
e.g. He gave her some money.
She was given some money.
Some money was given to her.
(2) 带复合宾语的动词的被动结构
带复合宾语的动词变被动语态时, 一般将主动结构中的宾语变为被动结构中的主语, 而将宾语补足语保留不动(这时的宾语补足语为主语补足语)。
e.g. His father called him Jack.
He was called Jack by his father.
(3) 带情态动词的被动语态，由“情态动词+be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。
e.g. The problem may be solved in a number of different ways.
In our school, library books must be returned in two weeks.
(4)“be+过去分词+不定式”的被动结构
e.g. He is reported to have broken a world record.
She is said to know three languages.
e.g. It’s said that she has some supernatural powers.
It’s reported that they have discovered a new star.
常见的结构还有：
It is known that... 众所周知
It is suggested that... 有人建议
It is believed that... 人们相信
(5) “it + be +过去分词+从句”式的被动结构
用来表示状态或情况, 常考的形式如：
get married 结婚
get engaged 订婚
get hurt/wounded 受伤
get lost 迷路
get drunk 喝醉了
get caught/stuck/trapped 被困
get dressed 穿好衣服
get run over 被(车)轧
(6) “get+done”构成被动语态
1) 有些不及物动词主动形式可表被动意义。
a. 某些连系动词，如feel, look, prove, smell, sound, taste 等。
The food tasted better than it looked.
b. 某些与can’t, won’t 等连用的不及物动词，如move, lock, shut, open等。
It can't move.
The door won't shut.
c. 某些可与well, easily 等副词连用的不及物动词，如read, write, wash 等。
My new pen writes well.
The cloth doesn’t wash easily.
3.主动形式表示被动意义
2) 非谓语动词的某些主动形式表示被动意义
a. 在“be + 形容词+ 不定式”结构中，不定式表示的动作与句子主语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系时，用主动形式表示被动意义。常见形容词有：cheap, easy, comfortable, difficult, hard, light, heavy, expensive, pleasant, interesting, fit 等。
e.g. The question is difficult to answer.
Volleyball is very interesting to watch.
b. 在be worth doing 和be to blame结构中，动词-ing 形式或动词不定式用主动形式表示被动意义。
e.g. The film is well worth seeing.
The policy is partly to blame for causing the worst unemployment in Europe.
c. 当want, need, require 表示“需要”时，其宾语可用动词-ing 形式的主动形式表示被动意义。
e.g. The carpet really wants cleaning (= to be cleaned).
Most house plants require watering (= to be watered).
4.不能用于被动语态的情况
注意
1)谓语是及物动词leave, enter, reach, suit, benefit, lack等。
2)谓语是不可拆开的take place, consist of, lose heart, belong to等短语动词。
3)have在任何情况下都不能用于被动语态。
选用括号内合适的内容完成下面句子。
1. The flight _______________ (must be booked / must book) by tomorrow.
2. The twins _____________ (look like / are looked like) their mother.

Look at the pictures and discuss the questions in pairs.
1.What jobs are these robots doing What are the pros and cons of robots doing these jobs
Two robots are serving food at a cafe; Pros: May be cheaper and faster; Cons: Communications difficulties; No human touch.
A robot is playing the piano; Pros: The robot can play anything perfectly; Cons: No creativity or emotion involved.
A robotic arm works at a factory; Pros: Simple, repetitive tasks are done at higher speeds more cheaply and accurately; Cons: Humans end up out of work; No added skill or creativity.
A robot band is performing; Pros: More live music will be available more cheaply; Playlists will be limitless; Cons: It really isn’t live music; It is more like listening to a record, without any of the excitement and emotion of watching humans perform.
Several robots are playing soccer; Pros: Promotes learning and enjoyment of AI and robotics to a wider audience; Cons: The robot players don’t even know they are in a contest and have no desire to win or lose, so there is no emotional content to the match; no physical skill or talent is involved either.
2. What kinds of robots or AI developments do you hope for
I hope for an educating robot because I can ask any questions when I have troubles in learning.

Listen to the interview again and write down the discourse markers that you hear. Make a note of how each discourse marker is used in the interview.
Listen for discourse markers
Discourse markers are used to organize a text by marking sequence, contrast, opinion, purpose, and so on. Listening for discourse markers can help you understand a text more easily. For example, first, however, above all, in order to, etc.
just now; so; well; but; however; above all
Discourse markers and their functions.
Function Discourse marker
to start or end conversations now, so, right, in general, to sum up, for a start,...
to change topics what’s more, well, but, however, anyway,...
to order or sequence first (of all), above all, next,...
to show interest/ surprise/ sympathy sure, good, quite, wonderful, exactly, absolutely, certainly, definitely, I see, (all) right, That’s great/ interesting/ amazing/awful...
Function Discourse marker
to rephrase or change what we say well, in other words, the thing is, I mean, you know what I mean, what I mean is...
to mark the old, shared, or expected knowledge and new knowledge just now, you know, see, you see, the thing is...
to mark attitude or point of view in speaking or writing honestly, basically, predictably, no doubt, to tell you the truth, I think, I’m afraid, of course I must admit, if you ask me, I must say...
not to sound too direct or forceful like, just, maybe, apparently, sort of, kind of, perhaps, roughly, arguably, presumably...
1. What do you know about robot technology What can robots do
Robots technology has its cons and pros. It can bring great convenience to human beings together with some scientific or moral problems. A robot is a machine that can do a task according to computer programmers or through the use of some kind of controls.
2. What benefits do you think robots or AI will bring Do you think they will cause problems as well
The main benefits are that they can do some kinds of work more quickly, better, and cheaper than humans, and that they can take the place of humans when no humans are available or when humans cannot do the work. They can cause problems, however. First, what happens if they no longer serve people or stop following orders Second, there is the possibility at some point we will have difficulty determining what constitutes a living being and what constitutes a machine.
THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS
LAW 1
A ROBOT MAY NOT INJURE A HUMAN BEING. ALLOW A HUMAN BEING TO COME TO HARM.
LAW 2
A ROBOT MUST OBEY THE ORDERS GIVEN IT BY HUMAN BEINGS EXCEPT WHERE SUCH ORDERS WOULD CONFICT WITH FIRST LAW.
LAW 3
A ROBOT MUST PROTECT ITS OWN EXISTENCE AS LONG AS SUCH PROTECTION DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST OR SECOND LAW.
3. Do you know anything about Isaac Asimov and his famous Three Laws of Robotics What do you think of these laws
Yes, I do. Isaac Asimov introduced them into most of his science fiction writings to show that robots could be prevented from harming us or our world. They are not actual scientific laws, but rather guidelines for their human programmers to follow to keep our world safe. At first glance, the rules seem logical and reasonable, but they also seem outdated.
What the expert thinks of the questions and exchange your own views. You may use the following expressions to help you.

Changing the topic
Oh, by the way, ... Oh, I remember, ... I nearly forgot! ...
What I meant to tell/ask you is ... ..., but (perhaps) that’s beside the point.
That reminds me of ... The next item on the agenda is ...
I think we ought to move on to ... On the one hand ... On the other hand ...
Oh, there was something I meant to tell you. Could I change the subject
A: Oh, by the way, I saw a programme about robot doctors last night. It was very interesting. Do you think robots will do more of these important jobs in the future
B: Certainly. They will probably do most of our labour for us.
C: Maybe, but that’s beside the point. In my opinion, robots are dangerous! They are much stronger than we are and may be superior to us in the future.
A: I think we ought to move on to topic of robot technology. I know the idea of it has been around forever. The ancient Greeks and Chinese both made clever devices that weren’t much different than some of the robots we have today.
B: Yes, but the modern idea of intelligent robots that look like humans is only about 100 years old.
C: I think we had better move onto what robots can do. Let’s see ... there are simple repetitive tasks like factory work and housework.
A: Yes, and I think there will be more complex jobs in the future like in healthcare, education, or entertainment.
C: Oh, there is something else I meant to ask you----does anyone know who ever came up with the word “robot”
B: Wasn’t it Issac Asimov He was that scientist who wrote a lot of science fiction stories.
A: No ... the word robot was coined much earlier, I think.
C: But that’s beside the point. I think we ought to move onto the benefits and dangers of AI to humans and our society ...
A: Oh, I nearly forgot why Asimov’s writing was so important---he created the Three Laws of Robotics. Law 1, robots can’t injure humans or allow them to come to harm; Law 2, a robot must obey any order a human gives it as long as it doesn’t conflict with the first law; and Law 3, a robot must protect itself as long as the act of doing so doesn’t break the first or second laws!
B: But this is where the real danger lies. Those laws are not real laws---they are guidelines that hopefully humans remember when they programme the robots. How can we trust our safety if the robots are programmed by people who don’t keep those rules
C: ...

What do you think a domestic robot could do for a family in the future
There has been a lot of work to design domestic robots lately, and they may soon be a reality. Many of these robots are being designed for the handicapped or the elderly. For example, a handicapped person or an elderly person who has trouble moving around the house could be helped by a robot. The robot can also cook and feed people when they need help. Most of the domestic robots are simplistic, some are connected to Wi-Fi home networks or the smart environments and they are autonomous to a high degree.
It is mainly about how a household robot was tested out in a family.
What is the text mainly about

Larry’s wife who has Tony, a domestic robot, in her home for three weeks to take care of her, but then falls in love with him.
A domestic robot made by Larry’s company to take care of Claire.
A wealthy woman whom Claire admires and wants to be.

Complete the diagram with the similarities and differences between Tony and a human being.
Compare and contrast
Some words and phrases are often used to compare and contrast information.It is easier to understand two separate things by describing their similarities and differences.

facial expression changes often;

emotions can change
Then use the words in the boxes to describe the similarities and differences.
A human being’s facial expression changes often, whereas Tony’s never changes. Although Tony’s actions appeared sensitive and caring, he was just following his programming and these were not real emotions. In contrast to Tony, who never changed from his programming, a human’s emotions can change. However, there are similarities between them. Tony’s smooth hair and warm body are the same as human beings. Tony treats people kindly in the same way. He can offer sympathy just as what we do.

Then listen to the rest of the story. How different is it from your ending.
sample ending
The house was perfect, Claire fell into Tony’s arms and the doorbell rang just as her husband entered from the garage door. Larry had come home early.
Tony declared that he loved Claire. Larry, hearing this, raced to take her from Tony’s arms.
“What are you doing, Tony ” yelled Larry.
“I am doing as I am programmed!” answered Tony.
Just then the ladies who had rang the doorbell appeared.
“You didn’t answer the doors, so we just decided to come in,” Gladys said. “See! I told you! That’s the man she was talking sweetly to!”
“Good heavens!” shouted all the ladies.
“He’s no man!”answered Larry. “He ’s the robot I designed to take care of Claire. I just never imagined...”
“A robot, this handsome, this helpful with decorating skills, and housework ” examined one of the ladies.
“I want him!”demanded Gladys.
“I want one too,” shouted all the others.
From that day on, the orders for more Tony’s went on and on. Claire remained stylish, kept a beautiful home, and her husband.
1. Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot Why
Yes, I do, because the robot thinks and acts like human beings,which can make us forget the differences between robots and human beings. Our love for someone mainly comes from emotion instead of the matter of what we are made of.
It is possible that robots will be used by human beings as a substitute for human relationships. Certainly, some people are lonely and may find robots comforting, in much the same way people nowadays feel comforted by a pet. Of course, the main advantage of a robot is that a robot can be programmed to always get along with people and never get angry or upset. In this sense, some people may prefer the company of robots to that of human beings because it is easier to get along with a robot than to have to develop a genuine human relationship.

Time Machine
课 堂 学 习
Pre-reading
Discuss what you would do if you could time travel.
If I could time travel, I could see the results of my actions or other people’s actions, and if the results were bad, I could travel back to the present time, too, and then take another course of action that had a better outcome. But I must learn not to depend on time travel and “cheat” every time when I failed or met something bad. I will choose the most important moment to return and not to change others fates without consideration.

Read the text again and answer the questions.
1 How does the Time Traveller first know he has travelled through time
“Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!”
He saw the clock move forwards.
2 How does the Time Traveller feel when travelling through time What rhetorical devices does the writer use to describe his feelings
“It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time traveling.” “It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. …”
“I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.”
Similes, overstatements
n.夸张
3 Why is the Time Traveller worried about stopping the machine
“I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. … But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb!”
If he stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, they would be forced together and explode like a bomb.
4 Where does the Time Machine arrive when the man finally stops it
I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine.
In some mud in the rain.

Discuss what might happen next in the story. Use the following questions to help you and make brief notes.
Time Traveller
How to prove we have actually time travelled (evidence like clock or people)
How to operate the machine
The difference between now and then (rhetorical devices like compare and contrast)
Time Traveller
How do we feel to time travel (rhetorical devices like metaphors, similes and overstatements)
Encounters in the new world (people, things, adventures)
The problem of coming back (challenges)
The destination of the time travel (when and where)
What are the problems caused by time travel (any worry or danger)
What do you think is different about that time from the time he left
The Time Traveller stops in the year 802701. The whole earth looks like a garden with a beautiful, happy people called Eloi who play all the time, but this hides a horrible truth; there is a whole world of people called Morlocks who live underground in a dark, mechanised society who use the Eloi as a source of food. The Time Traveller meets an Eloi woman and falls in love with her. The Time Traveller and the Eloi woman are attacked by Morlocks. He is able to escape, but he loses contact with the woman and perhaps she is killed. The Morlocks then steal the Time Machine and use it as bait to capture and kill the Time Traveller. However, once he is in the Time Machine, he pulls the lever and begins to travel in time again and is able to make his escape. He travels 30 million years into the future to see the sun cool and the earth turn into a lifeless planet. He then travels back to the time from where he started out, only to find that three hours have passed.

科幻故事
1．文体介绍
科幻短故事类作文多是作者根据已有的生活经验和知识，发挥想象力，构思出从未经历过的故事情节或描绘从未见过的生活图景。
2．写作指导
(1)文章的要素
故事类文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件，事件又包括它的起因、经过和结果。通常用五个“W”(what，who，when，where，why)和一个“H”(how)来表示。
(2)文章的结构
通常由三部分组成：第一部分为开头，要把时间、地点、人物等因素交代清楚；第二部分为主体，主要描述事件的发生、发展、高潮；第三部分为结尾，阐述事件的结局、人物命运或作者对此事的感受或看法等。
(3)人称
一个故事可用第一人称来叙述，也可用第三人称。用第一人称会令文章生动、形象，给读者以身临其境的感觉。
(4)叙述的顺序
故事性文章应以叙事为主，即以事件发生、发展的过程来写，使整个文章串联起来。叙事的顺序一般有以下两种：顺叙和倒叙。顺叙多是按照事件发生、发展的先后顺序进行叙述，一般以时间推移为线索，在文章的开头就交代出事件发生的时间、地点和人物。而倒叙多以事件的结局作为文章的开端，然后再按事件发生、发展的先后顺序进行叙述。

Exchange your draft with a partner and revise the draft using your partner’s comments. Then share your story with the rest of the class.
I thought this summer vacation at Aunt Jenny’s would go as interesting as watching paint dry. Hers was an old house, built before time began, it seemed. One hundred years ago it was often filled with people coming to stay for the summer---it was such large, grand house that there would be thirty or forty guests at a time, and the host barely knew who some of them were. Then there was the host himself---my great grandfather. He was widely thought of as the smartest, funniest man of his age, and people would come from all over the world to see him.
But that was all in the past. Now the only person who lived here was Aunt Jenny, who lived in one small part of the house and kept the rest closed up.
Then I caught the sun shining in my eyes from a tall mirror in the hallway.
“How pretty! It must be a hundred years old. If only I could go back and see my great grandfather!’’ I said, cleaning the dirt off the mirror with my hand. Suddenly, the shiny mirror became a sea of clouds and I felt myself being pulled inside it. The world began to spin, and I felt confused.
Then, just like that, everything stopped. I looked around, and there I was with the mirror and in the same hall, but things were different. The family photos on the wall were now replaced by paintings of people I did not recognise. The furniture all looked new but old-fashioned at the same time. “I must be one hundred years into the past!” I thought to myself. Then a woman wearing old-fashioned clothing came down the hall. Drawing near, she frowned and said, “Oh, that won’t do! The party starts in twenty minutes and you are still in casual clothes! What You didn’t bring anything I’ve got a lovely dress you can borrow. I think it will just fit.”
She led me away to her room and helped me get dressed like I was an old friend, and then together we went down to the parlour, which was filled with people dressed in fine clothes gathering around my great grandfather, listening to every word he said.
I spent the summer there, pretending to be a distant cousin from the city who was there on holiday. No one seemed to mind or care, as my great grandfather was quite wealthy and always had lots of guests. I tried to spend as much time as possible with my great grandfather and his friends, and it was the most wonderful time of my life.
Then when the end of summer drew near, I went back to the mirror and rubbed it with my hand again. I found myself back in the same hall, but in modern time. Not a minute had passed. Then I realised that I still had a full summer ahead at boring Aunt Jenny’s.
“Now what am I going to do ” I asked myself.

Project
Design a robot or an AI device
In groups, do some research about robots or AI devices in sci-fi films and novels. Use the Internet to help you.
the Star Wars movies
The original Star Wars film came out in 1977. It was originally titled just Star Wars, but later this title was changed to Star Wars: Episode IV---A New Hope. It was the highest grossing film of its time, and began a series of nine main films, along with numerous spinoff films and TV series.
Wall·E
Wall·E is a Disney/Pixar animated film that came out in 2008, and it tells the story of a lonely, trash collecting robot who unexpectedly falls in love with another robot.
Big Hero Six
Big Hero Six is a Disney 3-D animated film that came out in 2014. The idea for the film came from an obscure Marvel Comic that few people had ever heard of.This comic was chosen for development because its lack of fans---and expectations---would give the Disney team more creativity and freedom in creating the story and characters. It is about a group of five teenagers and a robot who form their own group of superheros to fight a supervillain.
the Transformers movies
Transformers started their life as a line of toys co-produced by the Japanese company Takara and an American company Hasbro in 1984. The cooperation between Takara, Hasbro, and Marvel Comics ultimately led to a number of comics, cartoons, and live action TV shows being produced, introducing yet more characters. This culminated in the 2007 feature film, Transformers, which set box-office records, had resulted in a series of at least six films.
Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim is a 2013 film which involves sea monsters ravaging the earth, and who are fought off by giant human-controlled robots. This film was not based on a previous story but pays homage to the Transformers and Japanese monster films. While it was enormously successful worldwide, the film’s single biggest market by far was China, making the film more famous in China than in many other countries.
the Foundation Series
The Foundation Series is a set of novels by Isaac Asimov. It is about a mathematician who finds a formula that will allow us to tell when a civilisation will rise or fall. Through his work, he determines that very soon all civilisation will fall into decline, creating a new Dark Age which will last thirty thousand years. However, while he cannot find a way to prevent this from happening, he does find a way to drastically shorten the time of decline. This is by mobilising scientists and thinkers to preserve knowledge. While the main story in the Foundation series does not directly deal with robots, as the series progressed Asimov linked the Foundation series with his Robots series, creating a complete sci-fi world, and making robots an integral part of the action.

Make a table like the one below and fill in the parts for different robot characters and AI devices on your list.
Movie/Novel Name Characteristic Function/Ability Unique quality
Star Wars R2-D2 Brave, funny, mischievous Co-pilot, hack computers He speaks in beeps and whistles
3
Create your own robot character or AI devices. Consider the following questions and make notes.
What is your robot or AI device called Why
What does it look like Why
What can your robot or AI device do Why and how
Does it have a personality or specific function If so, what is it like
What makes your robot or AI device unique
Sample
Our robot is called “Bug-Eye” because it looks like a small bunny rabbit with big eyes. We choose this idea because many children cannot have pets, but every child can have a small robot in their house.
Bug-Eye is small enough that it can even fit in a schoolbag. And since it does not eat or drink anything it is easy to take care of.
Bug-Eye plays and does funny things. For example, if it hears a loud noise it makes a squeal and jumps in the air. Then when you pet it, it snuggles up to you and falls asleep.
What makes our robot unique is that---apart from being a toy---it can also keep young children safe. For example, if anyone tries to hurt their owner, it will bite them. One of its big eyes is a camera which is connected by the internet to a computer. That way the child’s parents can see what the child is doing.
Bug-Eye
And with the built-in positioning system, they can also keep track of where their child is.
Both children and their parents will love Bug-Eye. Children will love it because it is cuddly and does tricks, and parents will love it because it helps them protect their child.
Science Fair
Design a poster or slide presentation showing your creation, including a name, title, and pictures of your robot or AI device.
Write a description of the robot or AI device.
Make a presentation using your poster or slides.
Prepare your design for submission to a science fair using the following guidelines.

Types of space Robots
Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) and remote manipulator system (RMS) are the two major types of space robots.
RMS is more like a robotic arm that recreates various movements of the human arm including up-and-down, side-to-side and 360 degree circular motion. It can be either computer-operated or manually controlled ...

Summary
Space robots are the most effective tool in space exploration.
Before You Watch
Look at the photos from the video and discuss the questions in groups.
1. What do you think these patterns represent
2.Who or what do you think made these patterns and how
I don’t think these patterns represent anything. They just look like nice designs.
I think they were made by people as a practical joke.
While You Watch
Answer these questions.
1. Who do some people think the circles are made by
2. Why did Mr Presley decide to find out more about the circles
3. Where were other types of circles found
Some people suggest that different cultures may have constructed them as ways of communicating with aliens. Others say that ancient people must have created them to please the gods.
He loves puzzles.
In a forest near Vancouver, a body of water while the area around it remains frozen.
4. Why do Matthew and his team like making crop circles
5. What does Matthew think some people use the crop circles for
Because they think that crop circle design is actually a creative art done by human beings, and the teams sometimes challenge each other to amaze the public by showing what they can do in an evening.
He thinks that some people are using the circles to push their own unusual theories.
After You Watch
1. Do you believe crop circles are all made by humans or by aliens What do you think the crop circles represent
I think they are made by humans. I just have trouble believing that aliens would travel millions of kilometres through space just to leave circles on the ground. In my opinion, these circles only represent human being’s interests about attracting other’s attention, including aliens.
2. What kind of crop circle would you create Discuss and decide on its appearance and meaning. Draw it on a large sheet of paper. Then present it to the rest of the class.
I would make a crop circle of the comic character Monkey King, because it looks like it would be a challenge and because it would be fun to confuse people who thought all crop circles are made by aliens.
What did you learn in this class
