    We visited three cities, but Xi'an was the most interesting one. This old city is amazing and our children loved to ride bicycles on the famous City Wall. The wall is about 14 kilometers long and it has a very long history. Visitors canrentbicycles there and it is very cheap. And on each corner（街角）you can take a rest and enjoy a bottle of cold water, because it was very hot when we visited it in July. Trust（相信）me, your children will love the trip!

    One American university uses a robot as a teacher to help students with their problems. And none of the students knew that was a robot at the beginning!

    Jill Watson, a robot made in that university, helps the students a lot. When answering their questions, Jill seems to be an excellent teacher. She can give wonderful answers quickly. She sounds natural and usually says good words.

    When someone told the students that their "teacher" was a robot, they all got very surprised.

    "How was it possible? I was talking to a robot?" said Bailey, "She sounds like a common teacher." Another student Jennifer told the newspaper, "We are thinking about choosing Jill Watson to be our best teacher. She is really helpful,"

    Now many students like to ask questions on their school's website. It usually takes teachers too much time to answer them. So the university had such an idea of making Jill Watson. It's a faster way to help the students with their problems.

    Jill can quickly find possible answers in her own computer to the questions and make sure they are all right. After that, she tells the students in an electronic voice that sounds like a famous actress.
