Robots
If I had a robot, my life would be easier. The robot would do all the housework and my homework. I could relax and play on my computer all day! The robot would make my bed in the morning and my breakfast too!
A lot of science-fiction writers wrote stories about household robots and the future. Many things they wrote about came true but we are still waiting for robots to cater to all our needs and express themselves like humans. Scientists have not yet been able to give robots the ability to think but they are working on it. However, scientists have made a robot which can walk, run and climb stairs. They can also make them to look more like humans with a human-like skin covering. Scientists have discovered that language is the biggest obstacle for robots and they are unsure of when we will have robot assistants which we can speak with.
Using Internet
My family uses the Internet to check emails. My mum uses it to get product and service information. My dad checks the weather on the Internet. My brother and I look up entertainment events and get information our schoolwork.
Opinion essay Technological devices
Technology and technological devices have become very popular over the last ten years. In my opinion, having too many devices complicates people’ s lives rather than makes them easier.
To start with, the increased use of technological devices has brought about many security issues. For example, there has been a major increase in thefts of mobile phones, iPods and other devices. Furthermore using bank cards online isn’ t safe as hackers have the ability to access bank details.
Secondly, technology can be unreliable. Machines and computers regularly break down and can be timeconsuming to fix. This can cause a lot of problems for those who rely on technology, such as businesses or schools.
On the other hand, it is said that learning how to use technological devices prepares you for the future. Regular use of a computer will mean good keyboard skills which can be beneficial in a person’ s working life.
In conclusion, I think it is important not to rely too heavily on technological devices as that could negatively affect our lives, but occasional use of modern technology can sometimes help.
A favourite TV programme
My favourite programme is a Canadian Show called‘ My Parents’ House’. It airs every week night. It is presented by Andrika Lawren and Emmanuel Belliveau and it features grown-up children decorating their parents’ houses. I like it because it is interesting to see what the rooms look like before and after they decorate them and how the parents react.
‘ My Parents’ House’ is a television programme with a twist. It features people’ s houses being decorated but, not by neighbours or friends like other shows. This decorating show features children decorating their parents’ houses.
The programme airs weeknights on HGTV in Canada. The Show has been running since 2004 when it was first aired. Since then, due to the shows popularity it is now available in both the USA and Europe.
The presenters of the show are talented designers Andrika Lawren and Emmanuel Belliveau. They assist the members of the family in deciding what and how to decorate an out-dated room in the parent’ s house. The witty presenters have great attitudes and make the show a lot of fun to watch. In every episode viewers are filled with worry as the presenters and participants rush to finish the selected room within the 48 hour time period.
The end of the show can get quite emotional. Parents react to room transformations with teary-eyed appreciation for their children and the presenters. What’ s more the show gives great design tips and is a must see for any would-be interior designers.
