Post-reading activities1. Read and retell(1)Play the recording and ask the Ss to read the article with the recording.(2)After that, help the Ss to realize: in this class, We have learned about robots today and future. Tell the Ss: now its time to challenge your memory. Ask the students to finish the information about robots future. Then choose two Ss to retell it individually. (设计说明：本部分的内容重在培养学生们口头表达的能力，同时通过复述引导学生更好地内化语言知识。) 2.Read and think(1) Tell the Ss: we not sure if robots will be able to think and talk like real humans, but we are sure in the future robots will become popular like computers. Then think about the question:*What will happen if humans use robots too much in the future?Ask the Ss to think about the question.After this lets read two pieces of news about the wide use of robots. The challenges from robots:* In the USA，there have been less new jobs for people since January 2013, but there are more robots working in American factories.（人们获取的新工作越来越少，工厂里的机器人越来越多）* In China, Foxconn (富士康公司) will buy 1,000,000 robots to take the place of workers. （购买一百万台机器人取代工人的工作）Ask the Ss: Do you feel the challenges from robots？(3)Tell the Ss: So we humans need to think about the question: “Is it good or bad to use robots a lot？” Divide the Ss into two groups and have a “Four Minute Debate Competition” about it. Ask the Ss first to have a discussion in their group. Then ask the Ss to share their reasons of their group. When time is up, summarize which group has more reasons.(4)Summary: Now, maybe its hard to say if its good or bad to use robots a lot. Then what should we do? I think we need to think about a question: Why do humans make / invent(发明) robots? To help humans or to take the place of humans？The answer is clear: we make robots in order to help humans. So we are sure of one thing, that is humans need to think about how to use robots in a right way. Do you think so？（设计说明：毋庸置疑，机器人必将在我们未来的生活发挥很大的作用，但教师要引导学生们认识在将来的生活中合理、正确使用机器人对人类的重要性。一分钟辩论赛，为学生们提供了展示读中所获和深度思考的平台。）Step IV. Summary1.
