Reading Comprehension
Hello, I’m Professor Packton. Today’s write-in debate was on whether or not robots should be
made more like people. We specifically discussed the advantages and disadvantages of
robots that can do the same sorts of jobs people do. For this debate, we had students try and
persuade us for or against having robots helping out in the kitchen. Today, I’m going to be
sharing some excerpts from our winning responses. First up, on whether or not robots are an
effective tool for the kitchen, is Pablo Pacelli. Pablo says, “There is no doubt that mechanical
equipment, such as mixers and shakers, are absolutely essential these days. It’s my belief
that, moving forward, the kitchen of the future will be ruled by robots. Robots would help to
solve a number of issues, such as eliminating the possibility of human error. I must note here
that a lot of food is wasted as a consequence of human error. There is a lack of food in many
parts of the world. We’re obligated to reduce waste.” Strong arguments made by Pablo. Now
let’s hear a winning counter-argument, from a newer student by the name of Collector 9000:
“When you have a variety of robots built for the kitchen, you should know that they won’t be
created equal. This is because robots are highly complex machines and they’re made by
people. Some robots might be surprisingly excellent chefs, some might merely be adequate
cooks, while others could struggle to make a proper meal. All in all, they’re not worth the
money.” There you have it—an excellent take by Collector 9000 on what living with robots
might be like. Thanks for tuning in today. We’re going to take a short break for
advertisements. If you want to know what’s happening next week, stay tuned and we’ll be
right back.
