Para 6 Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle and improved her makeup. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of things that he would need for his work on the house. Claire went downtown and bought these things. She had an appointment to paint her nails, then she went into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswoman there was rude to her, so she rang Tony and told him she was being treated badly He spoke to the woman who immediately changed her attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a "dear" .As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought they were in a relationship. After all, she knew Claire’s husband’s name was Larry, not Tony. Although it was completely innocent, Claire felt guilty.

Discuss in groups.
Nowadays the application of the robots has already become a trend.
1. Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot
2. What relationship do you think will develop between humans
and robots in the future
Thinking
1. Do you think it is possible for a person to love a robot
Yes, I do, because the robot thinks and acts like human
beings, which can make us forget the difference between
robots and human beings.
2. What relationship do you think will develop between humans
and robots in the future
It is possible that robots will be used by human beings as a
substitute for human relationships. some people are lonely
and may find robots comforting, in the same way people
nowadays feel comforted by a pet.

Listen to the rest of the story and check how different
it is from your ending.
Then the front door bell rang. Tony let her go and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered — Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone" and ran to her bed. She cried all night.
The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder. He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, which would make them envy Claire. But even though Tony had been so clever and caring, he would have to be rebuilt — you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
