Robot goes to school – level 1

Robot goes to school

20-01-2022 15:00

Joshua is 7 years old. He lives in Berlin, Germany. He is very sick. He cannot go to school. Joshua has serious problems with his lungs. He has a tube in his neck. He must stay at home.

A special robot sits in his place at school. The robot has a light on its head. The light turns on and off when Joshua needs something. The boy’s teacher and friends can talk to him. It is very important for Joshua. He can still be a part of the class.

There are other similar robots. They are great for when a child cannot go to school. Then the child does not feel as alone.

Difficult words: lung (one of two body parts which bring air into the body), tube (a long metal or plastic object that helps a liquid or gas move to another place), robot (a special machine that does work for people; sometimes a robot is similar to a person)).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
