Nicky: My friend from the Philippines is visiting me. Let me introduce her after class.
Kevin: That’s cool. How old is she?
Nicky: She is 17 years old. She is in 4th grade in junior high school.
Kevin: Hmmm? I’m confused. She should be in 2nd grade in high school, right?
Nicky: Their education system is different from that of Japan. They have 1 year in kindergarten, 6 years in elementary school, 4 years in junior high school, and 2 years in high school.
Kevin: I heard the news that the amendment of the education system in the Philippines took place in 2012.
Nicky: That’s right. Previously, they only had 10 years of compulsory education before entering a university. This 3-year difference will make a big change in the Philippine education.
Kevin: I agree. I think education is important in the development of a country.

Nicky: Did you see the show about the latest robots on TV last night?
Kevin: Yes, I did. I’m quite surprised because technology has been evolving too fast.
Nicky: I agree. In the future, I think robots will handle jobs humans do today.
Kevin: Yeah, that might happen, but I think there are jobs that robots can’t do.
Nicky: True. Creative jobs like painting and composing music can’t be done by robots.
