Translation of the 8th page of the English book for the 8th grade

In some science fiction movies, people will have their own robots in the future. They help with household chores and do things that people don't want to do.

Some scientists believe that in the future there will be such robots. However, they think it will take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.

Japanese companies have already made dancing and walking robots. This kind of robot is also worth watching.

But robotic scientist James White disagreed. He thinks it's very difficult to get robots to do the same thing as humans. For example, it's very easy to wake up a child and know where they are.

Mr. White thinks robots can't do that. But other scientists disagree. They think that in the next 25 to 50 years there will be a dialogue with humanity.

Robot scientists don't just make this robot more like a human. For example, there are many robots that are already working in factories. These robots look like big arms.

They repeat simple work. People don't like to do this kind of work and get bored, but robots never get bored.

In the future, there will be more robots everywhere and humans will have less work to do. The new robot will come in many different shapes. Some look like humans, others may also look like snakes.

After that, the snake robot can help find people under the building. It may seem impossible now, but a hundred years ago, computers, spaceships, and even electric toothbrushes didn't seem possible. We won't know what will happen in the future.

On Monday, this morning my family and I came to Penang, Malaysia. It was sunny so we were going to go to the hostel near put the beach. My sister and I had paragliding and I was like a bird, which was exciting.

At noon we had a local speciality --- Malaysian yellow noodles, which was very delicious, and in the afternoon, we cycled to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings, but the old ones are still there. Haiqian Street is a historic place in Georgetown, and we see the shops of Chinese merchants 100 years ago.

I'm thinking about what their lives were like. I really enjoyed walking around this town.

Tuesday, July 16

What an extraordinary day! Today my father and I went to Penang Hill. We wanted to go straight to the top of the mountain.

Later, it rained a little and we switched to a car, and we waited for about an hour to get a car due to too many people. When we reached the top of the mountain, it was raining heavily. We didn't bring an umbrella, we got wet and it was cold.

It's horrible. Due to bad weather, we couldn't see anything below. Father didn't bring enough money, so we only had a bowl of rice and some fish.

I was hungry and thought the food was so delicious.

When I first arrived on this small island, I had nothing. But I found the ship and made a small boat. I bring a lot of things that I can use:

Food with drink, tools, knives and shotguns. I lost everything, but I didn't lose my life. So I'm not going to give up, I'm going to wait until another ship arrives.

I cut down many trees and built a house. I went out with a gun almost every day to shoot animals and birds to make food. I'm learning heavy fruits and vegetables.

A few weeks ago, I found other people's footprints on the beach. Is there anyone else on this island? How long have they been living here?

Shortly thereafter, I saw some wild men hunting and killing two people in this wrecked boat, one of them died, and the other fled to my home. I called him Friday because I met him that day. He was very smart and I taught him some English.

Unit 1. Do you think you're going to have your own robot?

In some science fiction movies, people in the future have their own robots to keep an eye on. These robots are just like humans. They help people with household chores and most of the tires that are tiresome.

Some scientists believe that in the future there will be such robots. However, it will take hundreds of years for their proponents to become a reality. Scientists are trying to create robots that look like humans and can do the same job as us.

Some Japanese companies have made robots that can walk and dance. This robot looks very interesting.

But James White, a scientist who studies robots, disagrees. He believes that it is very difficult to get robots to do things like humans. For example, it's easy for a child to wake up and know where they are.

White doesn't think robots can do that. But other scientists disagree. They think that in the next 25 to 30 years, robots will be able to talk to humans.

Scientists working on robots aren't just trying to make robots look close to humans. For example, there are robots that can work in factories. These robots look like giant arms.

They can repeat simple tasks over and over again. Humans don't like to do this kind of work and get bored with it easily. But robots never get tired.

In the future, there will be more robots everywhere and less work for humans. The new robot will come in a lot of different shapes. Some of them look like humans, others may resemble snakes.

In the aftermath of the incident, a snake-like robot is able to help find people buried under buildings. This may not seem like a reality now, but a hundred years ago, computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes were considered impossible. We will never know what the future holds!
