Robot Puppy Video Exercise

Before starting the exercise about robot dog Aibo I suggest reading and watching more material about robots. You can't cover everything just with one video exercise, so here I have additional links to more videos and articles about robots.

📺Videos:

Fun Facts About Robots! | Nat Geo Kids Robots

This is a good video introduction for everyone to get into the topic. Watch it and talk about robots. Let your students talk if you are a teacher, talk with yourself if you are self-studying English. Yes, even talking to yourself is a good practice.

5 robots that help people by BBC

An expert of NASA is talking about 5 amazing robots and how they can help people.

A report about delivery robots

In this video people from Ford company discuss the future of delivery and robots' impact on that future. There is a funny looking robot called Digit-1 and we can watch how this robot-worker delivers packagings.

📝Articles:

A general article about robots on Kiddie. It is simple and easy to read. Actually, this article is a rewritten text from Wikipedia for kids but fits perfect for ESL learners as well.

Mail dog. The name of the article speaks for itself and matches with our main topic.

Aibo - Robot Pup

Now the exercise. It is based on this video below. For the first time you need to listen to it carefully with the second time start filling in the gaps. I put essential vocabulary before the script with the gaps and several questions that you can answer in writing or discussing them. The keys are on the last page.
