1 Work in pairs. Discuss the following questions.
1. Do you want to have one in
your home? Why / Why not?

carry
3. Robotic vacuum cleaners of the future will be able to recognise
patterns and then take _______.
action
4. Trang thinks robotic vacuum cleaners will be more helpful
_______ to us in
the future.

My favourite electronic device is a robotic vacuum cleaner which helps
me to clean the floors, a laborious and boring task. First, it can
automatically clean almost all dust, spots, and dirty marks in my house.
Second, I can control it by using an app on my smartphone when I'm
away from home. Finally, it's easy to store and carry my robotic vacuum
cleaner because it's smaller than a normal vacuum cleaner. I think
there'll be a lot of things that a robotic vacuum cleaner can do in the
future. First, it'll be able to recognise patterns and then take action. It'll
go to a place where you have eaten and suck up all the crumbs there.
Second, it'll be able to climb stairs and even open doors or drawers. So
it'll be able to get to any floor or room in our houses. Finally, laser
technology will make it recognise anything on the ground like dust or
dirt. With these improvements, I think robotic vacuum cleaners will be
more helpful to us in the future.
