2. I have to buy a robot so that I can have more free time.
...so that= in order that的意思是“为了、以致”,它引导目的状语从句和结果状语从句。

4. That allowed Mr. Jiang to do whatever he liked.
allow作动词,意为“允许”。后可接双宾语。常用于以下结构:
(1)allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”,allow doing sth.意为“允许做某事”。;
例如:Allow me to introduce you to our headmaster.请允许我介绍你见见我们的校长。Do they allow smoking in the cinemas 他们允许在电影院里抽烟吗

5. It seems that in general the robot satisfied with Mr. Jiang’s needs.
句型It seems that...实质上是“主+系+表”结构。其中it是人称代词,并无实意,指的是某种情况,seems为连系动词,that / as if 引导表语从句。It seems that ...表示“看起来 ”。强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断,可以表示事实。(可以转换成“名词或代词+seem +动词不定式”句型,其意不变,如果动词不定式为“to be +形容词”时,to be往往省略。
It seems that it is more difficult for women to get to the top of the company. 妇女似乎更难提升到公司的最高职位。
