Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
ROBOT TEACHERS
If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you probably put doctors and teachers at the
top of the list. However, in some cases robots already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness.
Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than
with a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He predicts by 2027 robots will do the main
job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’
faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student.
It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really
connect with humans like another human can.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked.
Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office
workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update
calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week
marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing
reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

A.
The development of aritificial intelligence
