Exercise 7: Read the following passage and answer the questions below. Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over many of our tasks, especially jobs of a repetitive nature. But its doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work or indeed if people would want them to. In the home robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing up, but its considered unlike so far that they will be used to do the cooking at least not in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things they wanted. 1.
