This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don’t want to take their advice.

Then I have a dream of joining the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “ Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.At last, I want to say to everybody, “ Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dreams may not be smooth or wide.

Students will see Asimo in science classes and learn the wonders of science.Asimo is 130 centimetres tall with a round head. It can jog, walk up stairs and wave. It can also avoid things on its way and have simple talks with you. Asimo is an experienced worker for humans. It has worked as a guide in showrooms. But this will be the first time it works as a teaching assistant in classrooms and in formal teaching!How will Asimo help in class A teacher explained the way Asimo works to students in last week’s show. Asimo has sensors (感应器) inside its body to keep its balance.The smart Asimo tilted (倾斜) its body when it stood on a shaking platform (平台). Asimo kept its balance. But a wooden person beside Asimo fell (See the above picture).When you walk, you pass your weight from the heel to the toe. The Japanese teacher explained this with Asimo at the museum. He moved the robot in slow move. Asimo made learning science more interesting for students!Asimo will soon help teach thousands of primary students and junior high schools in two Japanese cities. Hopefully, robot teachers will arrive at our classrooms in China one day.Teachers will be helped by a robot 21 Asimo in JapanAppearanceAsimo is 130 centimetres in 22 with a round head. 23 *It can jog, walk up stairs and wave.*It can also avoid things on its way and have a 24 talk with you.*It can 25 a guide in showrooms.*It works as a teaching assistant in classrooms and in 26 teaching!*It will help teachers in 27 classes.*It can keep its balance 28 it has sensors inside its body.AdvantageStudents will 29 learning science more interesting with the help of Asimo.ConclusionIt’s 30 that robot teachers will arrive at our classrooms in China one day.四、根据首字母提示补全短文。More and more people l 31 the life with computers.
