Hi John,
I hope you are doing fine. Have you got any news to tell me? You asked me some question and I would like to answer them now. You asked for my opinion about being independent of my parents. I think one can hardly be independent when he or she is under 18. We don't have necessary skills and knowledge to live separately from our parents. Renting a room or a flat can also cost a lot and only our parents can pay for us. What about you? When do you plan to start living separately from your parents? As to leaving parents as soon I finish school, I think I could do it. If I enter a good university with good accomodation, living without my parents would be no problem. Though I think I would miss my home, especially during the first months. Many Russian students who study abroad miss their homes in the beginning. It is not easy to get used to another country and the language. And it can take a lot of time to understand traditions and customs of the new country. Have you ever studied abroad? Do you think you could live far from your home for a long time? OK, so much for today. Write soon.
Best wishes,
Mike.
<span>Where are the robots?
Science fiction writers wrote about different wonders and robots. But robots are not a reality. Where are our robots which help us to do the ironing, cook dinner, walk the dog, clean the house and so on? Perhaps it is much more difficult in practice than in theory to build such a robot. Our scientists don't have the knowledge to give a robot intelligence or the power of reasoning. Perhaps they may never work it out. Researchers say that the best way to overcome this problem is to study the human brain and try create an artificial brain. Nevertheless, scientists have already overcome other problems such as mobility. Also, robots can now look more human. Language may be another problem as robots have to be able to understand man's speech. Experts are divided as to when robot assistants may become a reality. Some ofscisay five years, others say fifty. Maybe soon household robots may be as common as home computers. </span>
