• As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.
• Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry's wife, Claire.

• Claire was heart-broken when Tony left. He had brought lots of beautiful memories and built up her self-confidence. “How wonderful a robot Tony is. How can I live a happy life without Tony?” she thought. She was absent-minded, which was noticed by Larry. The robot was equipped with a hidden camera, thus Larry knew everything that had happened in the past three weeks. On the one hand, he was thankful to the robot for providing an elegant house for them. On the other hand, he was jealous because Tony was too intimate to Claire. He thought while the robot was fantastic it still needed some improvement.
• Claire was heart-broken when Tony left. Every moment she had spent with Tony crowded into her mind, reminding her how much happiness he had brought to her. She couldn’t help missing Tony and she suffered so much that she had a few sleepless nights. Larry knew well the source of her suffering and was eager to wake her up to the fact that Tony was nothing but a robot designed to bring life convenience but not mental disturbance. “Maybe only Tony could help her,” thought Larry.

1.What’s the text mainly about? It’s mainly about Tony, a household robot being tested out in Claire’s house.
Claire was heart-broken when Tony left. Every time she thought of Tony, she felt seized by a burst of sadness and couldn’t help crying bitterly. However, all of her sick feeling disappeared as soon as Larry came back. Larry was amazed by the great changes that had happened to Claire’ as well as to their home. It was obvious that he was satisfied with Tony’s work. Soon everything got back on track. (2)

• What do you think is the theme of the story? Why?
• What changes were made of Tony? How do you know?
Polish students’ writing
Claire was heart-broken when Tony left. During the following period, Claire was in low spirits all day long and missed Tony very much. Her haircut, the necklace, the curtains and the carpet, everything in the new-looking house always reminded her of happiness that Tony had brought to her. His smooth hair, handsome face, deep voice and even his never-changed facial expressions appeared in front of her eyes from time to time. How she wished Tony would come back. (1)
• Three weeks later, Tony showed up at the front door.
• What can be inferred about the development of the story from the two given sentences?
• From “Two weeks later, Tony showed up at the front door.”, we can infer in Paragraph One Claire would miss Tony so much that she might have begged Larry to bring Tony back, and in Paragraph Two Claire would meet Tony again.
