THE ENGLISH-TEACHING ROBOT

In South Korea, a country that employs a lot of people as English teachers,  they now have a plan to introduce a robot that is able to teach English.

Robots seem magnificent machines because we only have seen them in films and some in the true life, but there are giant differences between them. In this field they have advanced a lot, but also they have a lot to discover because the real robots are like toys and the ones that appear in movies seem like humans.

In some way these "intelligent" machines could improve lives, like robots that are able to help elderly people, but in other ways they can bring bad consequences for humans. I say this looking at the example of the English-speaking robot, because if they introduce it to schools, these robots will replace teachers and it will generate a lot of unemployment - not a good issue in these times.

In my opinion, a robot can't have the ability of people; a robot can't control the class! Imagine that the people in a class stand up and leave the class, the robot won't notice it. In this case, this type of robot, as its name indicate, is only a speaking machine because for me, as a student, I like to speak to teachers and share opinions, etc. but how a robot can transmit feelings? Nowadays it can't be so classes will be very superficial without laughs and emotion. Definitely, I'm against robots in the field of teaching, the knowledge of people can't be superseded by anything in the world.
