Let’s start with a review of the two “takeaway” phrases.
Right. Let’s practice saying them. The first one was: I would make a big, strong robot that could carry me around.
I would make a big, strong robot that could carry me around.
And the second one was: I would want it to be a robot-creating robot. I would want it to be a robot-creating robot.
This week, we used these phrases to talk about the functions you’d want your imaginary robots to have. So, you can use these phrases when you are describing something you want to make. Now, let’s listen to this week’s dialogue one last time.

All right. Now, let’s review some of the phrases from the dialogue. Try saying them after Vinay and Ananda. First, Thomas says
he wants to design a robot that could carry him around. He says…
“It could bring me to school and take me to other places.”
He also says…
“I would want it to be human-shaped.”
Then he adds…
“Then, it can walk up and down mountains and things like that.”
Next, Helen talks about her robot. She says…
“I would design a robot that designs other robots.”
To explain more, she says…
“First, I would tell the robot what I want to do.”
Then, she says…
“Next, it would make another robot that could do that.”
How was it? I hope these phrases will help you when you are telling someone about something you are making or designing.
