Passage 1
How can we keep our teeth healthy? First we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits, and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

Passage 2
Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over many of our tasks, especially jobs of repetitive nature. But it’s doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work or indeed if people want them to. In the home robots probably used to do the cleaning, table-laying curbing and washing up, but it’s considered unlike so far that they’ll be used to do the cooking- at least not in a near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on.
They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things they wanted.
