"Can I take your order? " Night after night, I had to say this as I worked in my family's restaurant. My father was a fantastic cook. He wanted me, his only son, to cook with him, but I didn't like cooking. Because of the restaurant, my father was always busy. He never had time to play football with me.
During my high school and college years, I worked with my family at night. But I always avoided the kitchen. I couldn't wait to graduate (毕业)so that I could move away from the family business. Several days before my graduation day, my father and I started looking at new cars. Finally, we found the right car. I was sure that my father would give it to me as my graduation gift.
On my graduation day, my father gave me a book as a gift. It was his old cookbook. I was so angry that I gave it back to him and ran out of the house. Several days later I moved away and started my business. Although I often saw my father during holidays, we never talked about the graduation gift. Then one day, I got a call that my father was ill. I went to see him because I was very worried.
That night, I looked through my father's books and saw the cookbook that he had given me year before. I carefully opened the cookbook and went through it. Then I found something that made me cry. It was a check(支票)for 30,000 dated(注有日期)the day of my graduation.And the price of the car my father and I chose all those years ago was 30,000.

In South Korea, many schools hire English teachers from abroad, but as you know, there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea. A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.
Robots will save schools money.The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20,000 a year. That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea. What's more, robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English.
The robot teacher is called Engkey.She is about one meter tall and is white,egg﹣shaped.She takes a screen as her face. She can move around the classroom while speaking to students, reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms. So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels. But Engkey's voice is not her own. They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines (菲律宾).There is a camera in each of the robot teachers. With the help of the camera, English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students.
Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now. But they hope that some day all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom.
