A magic helping hand
No one likes doing chores. They’re boring, messy, and you don’t often have the time to do them in your busy lives. However, now there’s a way to spend your weekends enjoying yourself, and make the most of your free time, instead of cleaning! Give your boring chores to a house robot!
Lots of shops are selling home robots at the moment. From robot vacuum cleaners to robot mops and even robots that clean your windows! However, all of these robots are very basic and can only do one job. But is there a robot that does lots of different household chores, just as well as a human? Believe it or not, the answer is yes!
Meet the SpotMini Robot from Boston Dynamics! SpotMini is just like a robot butler. It can load the dishwasher for you, set and clear the table, bring you drinks, carry your groceries and even sort recycling. SpotMini has four legs just like a robot dog, and a long arm which it uses to do its chores. This gentle robot can move around a room, avoid your furniture and even walk up and down stairs. This means SpotMini can take your laundry from your bedroom upstairs to your washing machine downstairs. So, for a life of luxury, invite SpotMini into your home. You won’t regret it!

When Your Hobby Is Also Your Job?
Every day, we eat, sleep, and work, but most people also want more free time for their hobbies and interests. Maybe they want to play more sports, learn a musical instrument, or even write a book, but they don’t have time. It’s a problem for many, but the answer is simple when your hobby is also your job!
Leyla Kazim is a good example of how to have a passion and make money from it. Leyla loves travel, photography, and food, so she writes a blog. “I spend most of my time either eating, traveling, or creating content about the two,” she says. Leyla’s blog has more than 100,000 folowers and, because the blog is so popular, she also works with food companies and restaurants.
Michael Gazaleh is another person with a hobby that's also his job. He loves running in his free time and he also loves showing people his home city of New York. So his company, City Running Tours, gives tours of cities to people who also like running. “Every day, we get to run with wonderful people from all over the world,” he says. Michael's company now has running tours in 14 different cities in the US and Canada.
Leyla and Michael both love their job because it's also their hobby. So, do you have a hobby or a passion? How can you make it your job?
passion (n) something you love doing
content (n) information, such as writing, videos, and blog posts, found on a website

__________ __________ __________ __________ __________ |
Hi! I’m Binh and I live in Nha Trang. Let me tell you about my daily routine!
I live in an apartment with my parents, my grandparents and my younger brother, Hải. I get up early every day. My parents get up early too and go to work, so my grandparents make breakfast for me and my brother. After breakfast, I take my brother to school. I go to the local high school and my brother goes to the elementary school down the road. We both finish school at 11:20, I pick him up and we walk back home together.
When we get back home, we have lunch with our grandparents. After lunch, I help my brother with his homework and then I do my own. I always spend time helping my grandmother to do daily chores around the house. Usually, I mop the floor and wash the dishes. When I have some free time, I hang out with my friends at the local street market, or we go to the park.
In the evening, when my parents come home from work, we have dinner together and talk about our day. After that, I prepare for next day’s lesson. I often listen to music or read a book before I go to bed at around 10:00 p.m.
