Becky's video diaries (录影日记). . .

Video 1 Usually we stay in England for our holidays (假期), but this year I'm happy because we aren't camping (露营)! Yes, this year we're on holiday in Spain, and we're staying in a nice hotel. Look! Mum and Dad are lying in the sun. My brother is playing football on the beach (海滩).

Video 2 Hi! Me again. And here's Dad. He's cooking something on the barbecue (烤架). He never cooks at home. Oh, what is that? I think he's cooking chicken. Oh no, Dad, it's black!

Video 3 Right. Hello. Today we're walking in the mountains. We're in a nice little cafe (小餐馆) and here's Matt, my new friend. He's eating paella (西班牙杂烩菜饭).

Video 4 OK. Here I am with my mum and we're shopping in town. Mum is looking at a dress for the dancing in the evening.

This is a class in Tammela school, a school in Finland (芬兰). The students are having a math class with their robot teacher. 

The "teacher" is blue, and he looks like a real man. His name is Albert. When students need help with their math, he's always there to help them.

"Albert can make math classes interesting. Many students like Albert, and they think he is a great teacher, " says Mr. Black, a science teacher in the school.

"We use technology (科技) to help our students learn well.  ▲  The first one is Albert, a math teacher. He is really great. The second one is a language (语言) teacher. We call her Alice. She can speak 23 languages and dance to music. The third one is a PE teacher named Nao. He's from Japan. He's good at playing soccer, and he can dance, too. And the last one is Lucy from France. She's an art teacher. She can draw well, " says the headmaster (校长) of the school.

"The robot teachers are great, but it doesn't mean (意味着) that real teachers will lose their jobs, " the headmaster says again. "The robots can teach well, but they can't keep the class in order (维持课堂秩序). Our school still needs real teachers. "

Everyone feels lonely (感到孤独的) sometimes. But first, you should (应该) try to find out what makes you feel lonely. 

Coming to a new place can make you feel lonely. When you come to a new place, you may be afraid to talk with others and then you may feel lonely. Sometimes your parents or teachers don't let you do things your friends can do. They think these things may not be good for you. You may feel lonely at this time. When special people leave you, you may feel lonely. They can be your family or friends. You may not want to talk with others after they leave.

Feeling lonely for a long time can make you feel very depressed. If you feel sad all the time, it will not be good for your health. So you should try to know how to solve (解决) it when you feel lonely. Here are some ways to help you. 

First, learn to change (改变) yourself. When you come to a new place, just go to talk with others actively (积极地). When your family or friends leave you, you can make some new friends. ____Second, learn to talk with your parents and teachers. Tell them how you feel, and listen to what they say. After you talk with them, you may find a good way to deal with the problem. 

I do hope everyone will not feel lonely!
