(让学生用流畅的英语谈论Robots，UFO和Internet。

)
T: Talk about Robots, UFO and the Internet freely.
For example:
（1）The first robot was invented in 1921. Robots can do a lot of dangerous and hard work instead of humans. They work without pay. I’m sure they can do some work more quickly and better than humans. But I don’t think they can take the place of us because we control them.
（2）I have never seen a UFO. I’m sure there are no UFOs. Until now, nobody seems to know UFOs, even scientists. People often mistake some man-made objects for UFOs. We can only get information about UFOs through books, movies, the radio, the Internet or the TV.
（3）The Internet can help us to do a lot of things, we can use the Internet for studying, shopping, listening to music, watching movies, playing games, and even finding jobs. The Internet is interesting and useful. But we shouldn’t spend too much time on it. We must study well first.
