Host: Good morning, everybody. There’s going to be a robot show this week. Robots from China, Japan and South Korea will be displayed. The show will be held at the town hall. Here we have Lucy, a robot engineer, to tell us about her robot. Lucy, what’s special about your robot?

Lucy: My robot is designed to help students with their homework.

Host: I see. What can it do?

Lucy: It can read a book in five minutes and tell you what it’s about in clear language.

Host: That’s very nice. What else can you tell us about it?

Lucy: It has a good memory. It can answer any questions that you have, and it never gets anything wrong.

Host: Great! But will it get tired?

Lucy: No. If the batteries are OK, it can work 24 hours a day, seven days a week for eight weeks. It’s always there to help you.

Host: What do we need to do to take care of the robot?

Lucy: You need to give it some oil every month and change the batteries every two months.

Host: I see. Thank you very much, Lucy. I’m sure a lot of students and parents will like your robot very much.

Lucy: I hope so. Thank you.
