Para.1: When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places. Para.2: Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored. Para.3: Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch .

They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. Para.4: Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.
