4th Standard English Term - I
A World with Robots
Hi, I am Nila. I like making robots. Do you?
I. The Trick Robot
Vicky was a lazy boy. He never did his homework on time. He never kept his things back in the right place. He pleaded with his father to buy him a robot to do is work. Vicky's father wanted him to become an active boy. So, he bought him a trick robot. Vicky did not know that it was a trick robot. He was glad to have a robot to do all his work.
Vicky, I have bought you a robot. This intelligent robot will do all your work. Enjoy!
Vicky is excited to test his new robot.
I am hungry prepare some salad for me.
I do not eat salad. So, I cannot make it.
What you are a robot. You cannot refuse me. Clean my room now!
Do you want me to strain my back? I cannot do that.
Really? I cannot believe this! At least, charge my phone.
Why don't you do that yourself? I must make some calls.
Aah! I have a headache now. Get me a cup of hot tea.
My battery is draining by listening to you. First, you charge my battery.
I am tired of you! Play me a pleasant song. I want to relax.
That's a great idea! Why don't you play me one?
Oh no! Dad! Please sell this robot. It is totally useless.
Yes. This time please sell me to an active master. I don't want to work for lazy people.
Really? Is that why you did not help me?
No more robots for me! I will do all the work myself.
II. My Robot
I have a robot big and strong, big and strong, big and strong,
watch now how it walks along,
with a nice rhyming song.
I have a robot smart and tall, smart and tall smart and tall,
watch now how it welcomes all,
with a nice greeting call.
It has wheels go front and back, front and back, front and back,
watch now how it keeps the sack,
in every little rack.
Never it takes food and rest, food and rest, food and rest,
watch now how it works its best,
with all same zest.
III. Robot Expo
Anitha meets her friends and shares her experience of a robot expo.
Friends : Hi, you look excited. Anything special?
Anitha : Yes! I went to the 'ROBOT EXPO' yesterday.
Friends : Tell us more!
Anitha : A humanoid welcomed me into the hall.
Friends : What is that?
Anitha : A robot that looks like a human. It even knew my name, I was so surprised and shocked that I stood there frozen.
Friends : wow!
Anitha : I am just getting started. A robot just looked at me and named the things I had with me.
Friends : Amazing, it must have scanned you with its eyes!
Anitha : The next robot danced for the songs played by the visitors. I suddenly found a butterfly sitting on my shoulder. To my surprise, it was a robot. There were robots of ants and fish too.
Friends : An ant robot? Wow!
Anitha : I saw a robot cooking dishes and serving all. It served me an omelette.
Friends : Don;t we all wish for a 'COOK ROBOT' at home!
Anitha : Adding to my excitement, a robot collected and dropped an empty water bottle into the dustbin. Then, it advised all of us to use dustbin.
Anitha : Then there was a robot that asked me, "Do you want to make a robot?" I eagerly nodded my head and said "Yes! But, I don`t know how to make it." It replied, "Don't worry. I will help you."
Then, it said, "Let us make a robot that can run. There are three main parts in this robot. First is the controller, it acts as the brain. Second is the mechanical parts that will help the robot move. Third is the sensors that will help the robot sense walls and other things on its way so that it does not crash into these objects. All these parts work together to make the robot run."
Then, I put these 3 parts together with the robot and made a robot myself. This expo has made me really interested in robots. I am planning to make more robots. Will you all join me?
Friends : We would love to!

V. Treasure Trove
Read when you are happy,
Read when you are sad,
Learn about space, land on Mars,
Picture an auto race, zoom with cars.
A glance at history, go back in time,
To discover a mystery, solve a crime,
Read about the lost bicycle, where can it be?
Visit a lovely mermaid under the sea.
Read when you are happy,
Read when you are sad.
