[06:19.40]INTEGRATING SKILS
[06:25.65]Reading and writing
[06:28.81]It is the year 2374 and the machines have taken over.
[06:36.46]The earth is ruled by a great computer named Q12
[06:42.05]that uses robots to make people work for it.
[06:46.60]It is not a happy world.
[06:50.15]The few surviving human beings
[06:54.22]are being used in the way that we use machines today:
[06:59.47]they have to make electricity for the machines,repair them when they break down,
[07:06.74]and do everything Q12 tells them to.
[07:11.49]Once,the earth was a beautiful blue planet
[07:16.17]where people lived happily among trees and animals.
[07:21.03]Now,the world is dark and dirty,with no room for happiness and fun.
[07:28.18]But there is still hope.
[07:31.42]The human beings have been able to keep a small,
[07:36.18]secret school open since the machines took over.
[07:41.32]In this school,the students still learn about all the wonders of the world
[07:47.49]science,art,history,
[07:51.85]culture and they are still allowed to dream about a  better future
[07:58.30]The leader of the humans has decided that it is time to do something to stop Q12,
[08:05.96]bring the machines and people back together,and make the world beautiful again.
[08:13.11]A group of experts were asked to solve the problem,but they failed.
[08:18.99]Now,the leader has asked a group of students
[08:23.64]to do what they can to save the earth.
[08:27.90]Q12 cannot be defeated by force.
[08:32.57]It is too strong and no one believes that fighting a war can solve the problem.
[08:39.65]Instead, the students have decided to come up with a peaceful solution.
[08:46.50]They will try to teach Q12 about love and friendship.
[08:51.85]If they succeed,they believe that humans and machines can live together
[08:58.41]like friends in the future.
[09:01.65]Imagine that you are one of the students chosen to solve the problem.
[09:07.40]Write a letter to Q12 in which you explain love and friendship.
[09:13.64]Remember that Q12 is a computer that does not understand how human beings feel
[09:21.08]and what human life is like.
[09:24.85]Tell Q12 about how we think,how we feel about each other,
[09:30.91]and try to give examples of love and friendship.
