Robot Helper Knows How You Feel
1)
The US researchers are building a robot which is sensitive to emotional states of humans and is able to understand what people are feeling. But the problem is that different people express the same emotion differently.
Wearable sensors are fit while people play video games. They monitor their emotional reactions and capture information about heart rate to measure stress and anxiety levels. They also measure changes in skin conductivity and the amount of facial muscle movement.
By combining the results of measurements the researchers can get a rate of a person's stress level.

Transport
1)
People in Britain and the US mostly travel by private cars. They drive their cars when they get to work, do the shopping, and visit friends. Traffic in the cities is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car, that is why people often use buses, trains or the Underground (in London) to get to the city centre.
In the cities of the US public transportation system is well-developed. Nevertheless, most families in the USA own two or more cars and drive long distances to schools, offices, shops and banks.
Though railway system, long-distance coach/bus services link most cities and towns in Britain, people prefer to use their cars at their own convenience. Air flights are mostly taken for business trips on long distances.

Weather in Great Britain and the USA
1)
The weather in Britain is very changeable and unpredictable. That's why people regularly listen to weather forecasts and talk about the weather, as it is a polite and impersonal topic of conversation. Actually the weather in Britain is warm and mild and extremes rarely happen.
The weather in the US varies between the regions because the country is large and there are different types of climate in it. Winters are warm and dry in the Southwest and cold and snowy in the Northeast and Midwest. Summers are usually hot. Some parts of the US suffer from tornadoes and hurricanes.
Many people in the US are worried about global warming and climatic changes this may cause.
