Further thinking
ROBOT A HOME ROBOT A HOBBY ROBOT
ADVANTAGES It can help me do a lot of things, so I can have enough spare time. It can practise with me anytime
and anywhere.
DISADVANTAGES I will become lazier and lazier
and lose a lot of abilities. I will lack communication and
happy time with my friends.
The teacher robot
If I can own a robot, I will surely choose a teacher robot.
The robot should be both patient and experienced.
When I have difficulty working out Math or Physics problems,
it can explain to me again and again.
The robot not only can solve probelms but also can help me
preview new lessons for the next day.
However, I think if I depend on it too much, I will lose my
ability of self-learning.
In a word, I should use the teacher robot properly.
