Tom: I heard that in Finland, a robot called Elias 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 Elias 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…
