II. READING
TASK 1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
In the future, robots will become more important in our daily lives. They will be used to do household tasks like cleaning the floor, cooking meals, and helping take care of children and the elderly. In hospitals, robots will support doctors during surgeries and assist nurses with their work. In factories, robots will help produce goods more quickly and with fewer errors. Some robots will also work in dangerous environments, such as fighting fires or rescuing people after earthquakes.
Another exciting development is that robots will become more intelligent. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), they will be able to learn from experience, understand human speech, and even make basic decisions. However, robots will not completely replace people. There are many things that only humans can do, such as creating art, solving complex problems, or showing emotions. Therefore, in the future, humans and robots will likely work together in many areas.
Besides helping at work and at home, robots may also support the environment. Scientists are developing robots that can collect plastic waste in oceans, plant trees in large forests, or use renewable energy like solar power to operate. These "green robots" could play a big part in protecting the Earth and fighting climate change.

TASK 2. Write a paragraph (120-150 words) about the advantages or disadvantages of online learning.
Sample writing:
+ Advantages:
Online learning has many advantages for students today. First, it helps students study anywhere and anytime as long as they have a computer or a phone and the Internet. This is very convenient because students do not need to travel to school, so they can save time and energy. Second, online learning gives students access to many learning materials such as videos, pictures, and online exercises. These materials can make lessons more interesting and easier to understand. In addition, students can review the lesson many times if they do not understand it the first time. However, online learning also requires students to be responsible and manage their time well. If they are not careful, they may become distracted by games or social media. Overall, online learning is a useful way for students to study in the modern world.
+ Disadvantages:
Online learning has several disadvantages for students. First, students may have difficulty concentrating when they study online. At home, there are many distractions such as television, games, or social media, so students may not pay full attention to the lesson. Second, online learning reduces direct interaction between teachers and students. In a traditional classroom, students can ask questions easily and discuss with their friends, but this is sometimes harder in online classes. Another problem is that not all students have good Internet connections or modern devices, so they may miss some parts of the lesson. In addition, spending too much time looking at a computer or phone screen can cause eye strain and tiredness. For these reasons, online learning can be less effective for some students if it is used for a long time.
