for each statement. (5 pts)

Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the
future, robots will take over many of our tasks, especially jobs of a repetitive
nature. But it is doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative
types of work - or indeed if people would want them to do. In the home, robots
would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing
up, but it is considered unlikely so far that they will be used to do the cooking - at
least not in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do
the cooking, plan the meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, freeing
people to do more of the things they want.

1. It is thought that robots will be able to do the same jobs every day …………….
2. It is certain that robots will be able to help us with creative tasks. ……………

dishes……………
