Restaurants in the US have a hard time finding enough cooks and servers.
So they begin to use smart robots to take the place of people. In the kitchen,
robots can make burgers and salad. Some robots work in the front of the
restaurant. Some robot-servers say hello to customers and show them to their
tables, while people take orders. Other robots can take orders by themselves.
People often put plates on and take plates off a robot that moves between the
kitchen and the dining area. Some people think robots are the future of eating
out. But others say taking jobs away from people is a bad idea. Should robots
work in restaurants in the future? What do you think?#4.2

①When people go out to eat, they want friendly service from a person, not
from a machine made of metal and plastic (金属和塑料).
②Robots not only are expensive and can’t do many things, but it’s not fair to
make people lose their jobs in the future.
③Technology can break down easily. If a robot stops working in a busy
restaurant, it can cause danger or a big mess.
