Most of people go to school in their childhood, it is our basic education. But still there are some people who didn’t go to school, but got their education at home. This is called distant learning

Distant education also has another meaning. When we go to university or want to start some advanced courses there is an option to have distant learning. The advantage of such learning is that you can study in another country without leaving your own one. It gives you more freedom in your schedule – you don’t have to attend lessons, so one can combine studying and working. Distant learning gives you a chance to have a certificate in any field that you like and choose education you

Distant learning is when a child doesn’t go to school, but studies at home on his own or with the help of a tutor. It may be because of his health, or because his family travels a lot or for some other reasons. There are of course advantages of such learning – you can get concentrated on what you read and study, you have as much time as you need to understand the material. But on the other hand school is not only about studying, it’s about communication with other people, it’s finding your place in the society, getting friends, learning how to behave in public and so on. So I think that if it is possible a child should go to school.

There is a great number of people who believe that robot pets will take place of real dogs and cats, while others believe that they always be human’s companions. I agree with the first point of view. In the future robots will replace pets. Firstly, you do not have to clean up after them and feed them. Secondly, they do not need a veterinarian. You will save a lot of time and money if you have a robot pet. However, there are people who believe that real pets will never be replaced by robots. Robots do not have emotions. They cannot love you for real, while real pets despite their minuses can show true emotions. People get pets when they feel lonely when they want to have a soul around, not a piece of metal. Real dogs also can protect you from burglars by catching them or barking. I cannot totally agree with that opinion because robot pets are already able to show you affection and technologies will develop more

There is also no danger that your pet will spoil your furniture or harm your children, which happens with animals. As for protection, robots can be more effective than barking dogs. They can send a signal or even a video of intruders directly to the police. To conclude, I would like to say that in the future pets will be replaced by robots because of their obvious advantages. Even now they begin to compete with animals for human’s companion place.
