For many years, we have been trying to make realistic robots. Decades ago, scientist created robots with
sight and hearing. After they had done that, they turned their attention to the other senses. Japanese
researchers are currently developing artificial skin, which they hope will be completed by 2050. This skin
will allow robots to touch and feel. ‘Before, robots often fell over while they were performing simple
actions. This invention is going to make robots much more efficient,’ explained one scientist. Robots
have already learnt many of our skills.

Reading
1 The film industry once hoped that 3D technology would lead to packed cinema theatres. However, after
audiences’ initial enthusiasm for enhanced visuals had died down, people started to question the value of
the ticket price increases. Will new ‘4D’ technology prove a better investment?
2 4D films offer a total sensory experience, providing more than sights and sounds. Moving chairs allow you
to ‘feel’ the action as it unfolds on-screen, without once leaving your seat. Audiences may see bright flashes
of light or feel wind blowing, while ‘smellovision’ technology releases perfumes. You’ll find some of these
more fragrant than others!
3 Fans say that it brings films alive. One South Korean film reviewer was highly impressed by Kung Fu Panda.
‘4D has been around for years here, but this was the first film I’d seen. I should have gone sooner! Every
time Po fell or got hit, my chair gave me a gentle blow in the back! It was hilarious. There were a few
complaints about discomfort, but I think they were exaggerated. At the end, bubbles popped above us,
sounding like fireworks. It was well worth the higher entrance fee. I just cut back on expensive popcorn
instead!’
4 But the technology hasn’t wowed everyone. After seeing the last Pirates of the Caribbean film, one
Japanese blogger wrote, ‘It’s good that film-makers are trying out new things, but this goes too far. The
water effects were fun at first, but later made seats slimy and uncomfortable. And the stinky sea aromas
made me feel sick; although Johnny Depp was fragrantly spicy! Even so, I rather resented being directed how
to feel. I want to be able to use my own imagination.’
5 Will it take off over here? With a cost of around $2 million to equip a 4D theatre, many European cinema
groups are understandably cautious. However, installation companies claim that such theatres typically draw
two to three times more business, often selling out of tickets. Those profit margins may tempt struggling
cinema chains to take the plunge. Soon, it seems likely that we’ll be discussing the films we’ve smelt as well
as seen!

2) 4D audiences move around the theatre.
3) Kung Fu Panda was the first 4D film shown in South Korea.

5) Pirates of the Caribbean 4D stank unpleasantly throughout.

1. Quickly read the report. Is the writer mainly positive or negative about WorkOut?
A report on customer’s experience of WorkOut
Positive/ negative
A ___
The aim of this report is to evaluate the sensory experience that WorkOut offers customers, and to
make recommendations for improvement.
B ___
We found that the gym makes quite a poor first impression. The main gym room is very hot, and the
lights are very bright. As a result of this, the room sometimes smells unpleasant when lots of people
are exercising.
C ___
Some customers have complained about the music. The reason for this is that the gym owner
prefers a classical radio station. As this music is often quite slow, it is hard to exercise quickly while
you are listening to it.
D ___
In conclusion, I believe that WorkOut could benefit from a number of changes. Less powerful lights
and an open window would improve the smell.
Moreover, different music would help people to exercise faster. For instance, pop or rock.
