5. Choose one question out of the three and write down an extended answer.

What is love for you?

What is life for you?

What is happiness for you?

Happiness for me is a feeling of contentment and fulfillment. It is a state of being where I feel at peace with myself and the world around me. I feel happy when I am surrounded by loved ones, when I am doing something that I enjoy, or when I am simply taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of life. Happiness is not a constant state for me, but it is something that I strive for everyday. I believe that happiness is a choice, and I choose to be happy as often as I can.

A text for reading and expressing your own opimion about it

A long time ago, robots belonged to science fiction. Children loved looking at movies with robots. Today, robots are real, and they are helping us. In the future, we will all have robots. They will vacuum the floor, wash the dishes, perhaps even drive our cars. I even think one day we’ll have robot friends. In Japan today, robot engineers are making robots to help old people and to keep them company. It’s still early days. I’d say we are another 20 to 30 years away from robots being everywhere in our lives. What will happen to us when the world is full of robots? There’ll be no jobs. McDonalds will be full of smiling robots. Maybe one day we won’t be able to tell robots and humans apart. Maybe they’ll take over the world.

I agree with the writer as i am sure that in 20 or 30 years robots will take over the world.I think it will have its disadvantages as well as it will be difficult to tell robots and humans apart.There will be no jobs,no human relationship and everything will be fake.

Answer the questions

Can you bring an example of a phenomenon that once could be considered a material for science fiction book but now it is a reality?
