Korea. You may think it sounds unbelievable, but I have to say that I am telling the truth.

Look at the 1-meter-high robot over there. It has its own name. Its name is Engkey. It has a TV panel(面板) on the top. When you look at the panel, you can find a white female face. The robot can move around the classroom while it is speaking to the students. 85.The robot is also able to read books and dance to music by moving its head and arms. The robots are controlled remotely（遥控） by English teachers living in the Philippines.

Teaching English as a foreign language is very popular for many travellers. In March I started teaching English in Thailand.

I really love teaching. I knew it could be a lot of fun, especially with my students who are 3-5 years old. But I had no idea just how much I would actually enjoy it. The only reason I started was simple - it was an easy way to make money.

I had no idea Thai children could speak English so well at such a young age. My children could describe colours, shapes, body parts, days of the week and classroom objects!

Two things changed after working. The first one was in the first weeks of teaching, I liked to have my lessons planned out, but things didn't go as expected. Now I am happy to walk into a classroom with whatever I need for the subject.

I guess the other thing would be how much the children trust me. 18 weeks ago these children were unconfident and pretty shy, but now they can't wait to get involved.

In 6 months I have no idea where I will be, but right now I love teaching and enjoy working with the kids every day. Will I teach again - I'd like to think so!

I have been working at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for the past 20 years. My day starts at 5:30, when I have two cups of black coffee while listening to the radio. Recently, I've been using the morning to work on a book I'm currently writing. I'm in the hospital just before 8:00. If it's a nice day, I'll cycle the fifteen miles to my office, but my favorite way of getting to work is on my motorbike.

My week is divided into operating and non-operating days. Monday and Tuesday are my operating days and I like to come in early and stay late to check the progress of my patients. During the rest of the week, I'm in clinics or working in research.

On a typical operating day, I will conduct two to three operations. Some of the complex operations can take as long as ten to twelve hours. In certain cases, I think about them days, or even weeks, in advance.

Last week, I had one of these cases which took a lot of thinking through (充分考虑) beforehand. The patient was a young man who had a rare congenital heart abnormality (先天性心脏畸形). He needed an operation urgently, or he would probably die. I planned the operation in my head while at the dentist's.

Like many other doctors, I am always on call for my patients. When I do get to have some time to myself, I enjoy creating crossword puzzles (纵横填字游戏). I even make them for The Guardian!

1.When does the writer arrive at the hospital on a working day?

Saya, the life-like woman robots started her work as a teacher at a primary school in Tokyo Japan days ago. She gave lessons to the pupils there. You won’t hurt it, hit it or play with it.

Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi of Tokyo University of Science, who built Saya, said she didn’t mean to take the place of human teachers with Saya, but to show the joys of technology. “We didn’t want to do all the work of a teacher, but to build this robot to teach children about technology.
