Question

【題目】11 March, 2216

It was another usual day at school. My parents still ask me to go to the school building, even thought half the students in my class are hardly ever there at all. They prefer to use computers at home to watch and listen to our teacher, and then send their homework by e-mail. My parents have different ideas-they think it is good for me to spend more time with friends of a similar age. I suppose they are right, but I also wish I could spend more time with my robot, as well.

It was raining today, so I was very happy that Mr. Right, the house robot, was waiting to take me home. Mr. Right always takes me to school in the morning and picks me up in the afternoon. It is fun to sit on his back while he flies to the flat where we live. I cannot imagine travelling any other way.

Mr. Right does so many other things, as well. He cleans the house, washes and dries clothes, and cooks a wonderful dinner-as he can tell what temperature the food is and knows exactly when meat or vegetables are perfectly cooked. He also has special eyes, which means when he looks at me, he can tell whether there is anything wrong inside my body. If there is, he can then prepare medicine to cure whatever sickness he has found.

One thing I really like about Mr. Right is that his brain has a connection to the Internet, so he can answer any of my questions in just a few seconds. Another great thing is that when my parents are not at home, he makes me happy. He knows millions of jokes and lots of funny stories. I am so happy he is part of my life.

Today my homework is to write an article about which piece of technology has made my life different. I think you can guess what I will write about. I should go and start my homework.
