IV. READ FOR FUN: Teenage web designer
Mike Sutton, from Sydney Australia, is a webmaster and he has his own company. The company is called «Whaam! Web Creations.» And he’s 15 years old. He’s in 10th grade at school.
We asked him some questions. Here are some emails between him and us.
Question: Is it easy for a 15-year-old to do this work?
Answer: Easy? I’m not sure — but it’s exciting. I’m in the big world of business and I’m only 15. I do a lot of my work on the phone, so many people don’t know that I’m only 15. And they don’t ask me — so my age is not really a problem.
Question: How do you learn the things you need to know?
Answer: Experience! It’s the best way to learn things, I think. Sometimes I have a problem and I look at other pages on the Web to find answers. I have friends, too. Sometimes, they can help me.
Question: What is the importance of the Internet for people?
Answer: I don’t think it is very important, really. It’s wonderful, of course — it’s so easy to get information. But I don’t think it is a very important thing in the world.
Question: Do you do your own programming and design?
Answer: Often, yes. It’s fun and hard-working. But I also have some people doing the work for me. They’re all very creative people.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools everyday by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and come home later in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and during weekends. In summer evenings one enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.
Notes:

— even though/ although : mặc dù
— advantage (n) : (sự) thuận lợi

Hi Linda,
How are you? Thanks for your email. I think sports at school in Viet Nam are different from sports in Canada.
At school we do lots of PE (Physical Education) and in winter we play ice hockey — it’s the national sport of Canada.
I love going really fast on the ice! At our school girls and boys play rugby too. I don’t like because I am very bad at throwing and catching the ball, but I like watching our school rugby team when they play.
In the summer, we play table tennis and do athletics. I’m OK at table tennis and I’m really good at athletics because I can run fast. I run the 100m, 200m.
There are lots of after-school sports clubs at my school: football, volleyball, basketball, and judo. I do judo on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Sometimes in the summer I go swimming with my friends at the weekend and in winter we often go ice skating. I love ice skating — it’s great.
Write soon.

«Water polo is a new sport at our school, but we have a good team now. We practise after school on Thursday at the Northside Pool and we’re doing well in the National Schools Competition.
There are seven players in a water polo team. The game is a bit like football because each team tries to score a goal with a ball. But in water polo you don’t use your feet — you catch and throw the ball with one hand. And you never stop swimming. A game lasts 32 minutes, and in that time you swim up and down a 30-metre pool lots of times. If you aren’t fit, water polo isn’t the sport for you!
For me, it’s great, because I love being in the water and I can swim fast. I also enjoy being part of a team. We have some excellent players and we’re all good friends. So it’s fun, and it’s also a fantastic way to get fit.»

Dear Jack,
Hi from New York! We got there after five-hour delay because we missed our flight in Washington. It is very cold, but we are doing a lot of sightseeing so that helps! Sometimes I’d prefer to stay in my hotel room, but you can’t come to New York and stay inside! There’s a little Italian place next to the hotel. We go there every morning for breakfast. Mum has a double espresso and a piece of cake and my dad has a full American breakfast. Ugggh! Far too much for me. I just have coffee!
New York is wonderful — really! I love the skyscrapers!
Hope you are well.

People are very interested in robots. Some of them look like mechanical dolls to play with. Most of them look like other machines of today’s high technology.
Serious research on intelligent robots began in the 1960s in several countries. Now we are on the fifth generation of robots. The first robots were very expensive. They cost $500,000 when a worker could do the same work for $15 an hour. By the early 1970s, a robot brain, a computer, cost $300,000. Today’s robots cost from $15,000 to $150,000.
One of the advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers.
Today there are millions of people who work at machines in the world. Robots will replace them. Part of the problem will be solved because of the decrease in the number of births. There will be fewer people looking for jobs. Many people will find changes in their jobs, and they will not like some of them.
The students of today must be sure that these changes are good. Robots must improve, not harm, the quality of human life.

III. Read the passage, and then answer the questions.
Most robots today are industrial robots. Humans use them to make work easier and quicker. You often see them in car factories where they put the parts of the cars together. They are useful for this kind of work as it is ‘dull, dirty and dangerous’ – DVD. Robots are often used for DDD jobs and where a specific action needs to be repeated. It is very difficult for humans to do this.
There are many different types of robots. Some robots travel through space, work on the bottom of the ocean, or go inside volcanoes. They do the work of people, but for a different reason this time: there are places that are very dangerous for people, or impossible for people to go to.
Robots are everywhere. Most people don’t know that robots help us everyday and in many different ways. In most houses, there are robots. For example, in some houses today there is a washing machine in the kitchen. Washing machines are robots. People can programme them and then they wash clothes automatically.
Some scientists make robots for fun. For example, the dogs are made as toys for small children.
Japan produces the most robots. Every year in the capital, Tokyo, there is a robot exhibition called Robodex. It is the largest robot exhibition in the world.
