My Robot
I have got a robot. Its name is Robert, or Rob for short.
My robot has got a silver-grey head, arms and legs. Its body and hands are white. It hasn't got any feet. He has got small wheels instead. Rob isn't very tall, but its arms can reach even the highest shelves in our home.
Rob can understand our speech and respond our commands. It helps us save a lot of time because it does the housework. Rob can wash the dishes, clean the rooms, vacuum rugs and carpets and serve food.
Rob also plays games with me and helps me to study. So my robot is a great helper!
