Bài nghe:
Tom: I heard that in Finland, a robot called Ellas can speak 23 languages. This robot teaches many subjects like languages and maths to school students.
Lan: Wow! Can it interact with students?
Tom: Yes. Students can practise English with Ellas in real time. Ellas can even do a Gangnam style dance for the students.
Lan: Sounds exciting. I think children would enjoy studying in a class with Elias.
Tom: Exactly! This robot is patient and doesn't feel tired repeating words. It can also ask questions that are suitable for the students’ level.
Lan: So students can answer questions which are not too difficult, and they won't feel embarrassed when they make mistakes, right?
Tom: Definitely I think one day robot teachers will replace human teachers.
Lan: I don't think so. They can't teach students how to behave.
Tom: Hmm...That's true. Also robots don't have emotional connections with students like humans do
Lan: One more thing is that robots can't solve problems between students...
Tạm dịch:
Tom: Tớ nghe nói rằng ở Phần Lan, một người máy tên là Ellas có thể nói được 23 ngôn ngữ. Người máy này dạy nhiều môn học, như ngôn ngữ và toán học cho học sinh.
Lân: Chà! Nó có thể tương tác với học sinh không?
Tom: Được. Học sinh có thể thực hành tiếng Anh với Ellas trong thời gian thực. Ellas thậm chí có thể nhảy Gangnam style cho học sinh xem nữa cơ.
Lan: Nghe có vẻ thú vị đấy. Tớ nghĩ trẻ em sẽ thích học trong lớp với Elias.
Tom: Chính xác! Người máy này kiên nhẫn và không cảm thấy mệt mỏi khi lặp lại các từ. Nó cũng có thể đặt câu hỏi phù hợp với trình độ của học sinh nữa.
Lan: Như vậy học sinh có thể trả lời những câu hỏi không quá khó, và khi mắc lỗi học sẽ không cảm thấy xấu hổ đúng không?
Tom: Tớ chắc chắn rằng một ngày nào đó giáo viên người máy sẽ thay thế giáo viên là con người thôi
Lan: Tớ thì không nghĩ vậy. Họ đâu thể dạy học sinh cách cư xử.
Tom: Hừm... Đúng vậy. Ngoài ra, người máy không có kết nối cảm xúc với học sinh như con người.
Lan: Một điều nữa là người máy không thể giải quyết vấn đề giữa các học sinh...
