Listen to the conversation and choose the correct answer.

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.
