functions were very basic. For example, in 1930 a robot called Elektro could
walk by voice command, speak about 700 words, smoke cigarettes and
move his head and arms. Elektro was a humanoid – that is he looked like a
human with arms and legs. However, his movements were very slow and
mechanical
B Robots became more sophisticated with the development of micro-
processors. They became smarter and faster and could be programmed
to perform a wide range of functions. The first digitally operated and
programmable robot called Unimate was invented in 1954. Unimate
was used to assemble car components in the USA. This was the first
big step towards the automation of car manufacturing.
C Today, robots are a part of many aspects of industry, medicine,
science, space exploration, construction, food packaging and are
even used to perform surgery. The most recent robots can move
talk, walk, run or fly, and work independently of humans. They have
'intelligence' which allows them to make
independent decisions and interact with
humans. As they become more adaptable,
they can be used for everything from military
purposes to looking after elderly people.

D Some people think robots have many benefits over humans. They don't
get sick or bored. They do their jobs very precisely and consistently.
They don't need food or sleep and they never argue or complain, and
they can also do many things that humans can't. However, some
people are worried that robots will become too intelligent and may one
day take over the world,

My Favourite Actors

My favourite actors are Mel Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg came a long way to her present international success. Her mother was divorced and poor. Whoopi chose a very difficult career for a black woman. She started as a theatre actress and did very well.

In the end she had a show on Broadway. Film producers saw her show and a new career in cinema began. She almost got an "Oskar" in Steven Spielberg's film. Whoopi can be a very serious actress. But she can be very funny too.

Mel Gibson, one of eleven children, was born in New York. But his family moved to Australia when he was twelve. He is a traditional Hollywood man of action in some ways; he is strong and handsome with bright blue eyes. But in his films he can be funny and shy like a little boy.

Gibson became famous in the "Mad Max" film, made by the Australian director George Miller. Max lives in a desert after a nuclear war. People drive incrediable cars and lorries and wear strange clothes. It is a fantastic mix of past and future.

Mel Gibson is now also a film director. His first film as director was "The Man without a Face". 
 

Мои любимые актеры

Мои любимые актеры — Мел Гибсон и Вупи Голдберг. Вупи Голдберг проделала долгий путь к своей сегодняшней всемирной известности. Ее мать была разведена и бедна. Вупи выбрала трудную карьеру для черной женщины. В начале она была театральной актрисой, и получалось у нее очень хорошо.

В итоге у нее уже было шоу на Бродвее. Кинорежиссеры увидели ее шоу, и началась новая карьера — в кино. За фильм Стивена Спилберга она чуть не получила "Оскара". Вупи может быть очень серьезной актрисой. Но она бывает и очень забавной.

Мел Гибсон, один из одиннадцати детей, родился в Нью-Йорке. Но его семья переехала в Австралию, когда ему было двенадцать. По некоторым меркам он типичный голливудский деловой человек; он сильный и привлекательный с ярко-голубыми глазами. Но в фильмах он может быть смешным и застенчивым, как маленький мальчик.

Гибсон стал популярен в фильме "Сумасшедший Макс", снятом австралийским режиссером Джорджем Миллером. Макс живет в пустыне после ядерной войны. Люди водят удивительные машины и грузовики и носят странную одежду. Это фантастическое смешение и будущего.

Мел Гибсон сейчас еще и кинорежиссер. Его дебют как режиссера состоялся в фильме "Человек без лица".
