As children, we can do many things to save fresh water. Firstly, you can save showers rather than baths. Short showers use less water and also there is less use of energy to heat the water. However not keeping yourself clean is NOT an option. Secondly, clean your teeth by putting water into a glass. Use the water for wetting your toothbrush, rinsing your mouth and cleaning, your brush. You can also help your family save water by using a watering can to water plants and vegetables in the garden rather than using a hose. Maybe you could help recycle the water from the washing machine. And you can help your school save water by switching off taps properly and using the water fountain for drinking water.

Read the passage and decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
Baxter was introduced in September 2012. It is used for simple industrial jobs such as loading, unloading, sorting, and handling of materials. It is a new robot which is
different from other robots to work in industry because it can learn. A worker can teach Baxter how to do a task by moving its hands. After that, it will memorize them. Any worker can program Baxter and it only takes a few minutes, while other industrial robots need many different programs and coding before they can be used. This means Baxter needs no programming in order to work. No software engineers are needed. This also means Baxter can be taught to perform many difficult tasks at the same time.
