II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer among A, B, C or D for each question.
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top
of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection

[2]
and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better
than doctors al diagnosing illnesses. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal
information with a machine than a person Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of
the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will
be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then
they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely that robots will
ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world,
there aren't enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That
problem can be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired,
or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

A. Human teachers never get tired.
B. Robots will replace human teachers completely.
C. Robots will play a role in education.
D. Robots are better than human teachers.

A. longer exist B. teach students skills
C. help robots in class D. get higher salary

A. doctors B. patients C. teachers D. robots
Question 42. The word transferring in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______________.
A. exploring B. imparting C. transporting D. exchanging
Question 43. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage.
A. There is a shortage of teachers in some parts of the world.
B. Robots have better connections with students than teachers do.
C. Robots can teach without getting stressed.
D. Robots can perform better than doctors in some cases.

D. WRITING
