Reading Part

Robot Teachers

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s
easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we
underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness.
Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could
there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has
a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts 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. One thing is
certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough
teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by
robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid
job. Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. 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.

5. …… to diagnosee. to change something so that it fits better

3. Many experts agree robots will replace teachers by 2027.………

Translation Part

Please translate this text from English to Turkish. (10 Points)

Egypt has a very special location and it has played a very big part in Egyptian history. Egypt is part of the Sahara
Desert runs all across the south of Africa. But it is a dry place, so people do not live there. But even in ancient times, it
didn’t rain much in Egypt. The reason people lived in Egypt was the Nile River. It flows through the middle of Egypt.
The Nile is a long river. It starts in the rain forest south of Ethiopia, south of Egypt, and flows north into the
Mediterranean Sea.
