On Mondays，two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty
of food and water，a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then，I drop them
off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first signed them up for forest school program，I loved the idea，but as a mum，I
was concerned about a few things：Would they be comfortable outside for that long？Would they
stay engaged for that many hours？Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly，they
stared at me in confusion.They didn’t understand my question，which fittingly removed it.
In this program，kids direct their own play，climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen
lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp，but are rather trusted to self-
adjust.Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the
next activity，but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school？” concerned parents have
asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem，but most significantly，my
kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit
silently and observe nature up close—a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and
overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age
groups.They cooperate together，using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles
within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the
outdoors.They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature，what to do to pass
the time，and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming
decades.

A robot has been taught to laugh at jokes to make it more human.Researchers are using AI to
train robots about appropriate laughter，and 1. (distinguish) between chuckles and
screams.
They described 2. (work)with a robot called Erica in the hope of making a
conversation more natural.“We think that one of the most important 3. (function) of
conversational AI is sympathy，” said Dr Koji Inoue，a professor.“A conversation is，of
course，multimodal，not just responding correctly.So we decided that one way a robot can
empathize(共情) with users is to share their laughter，4. you cannot do with a text-
based chatbot.”
Creating a “5. (share) laughter” model，the researchers used AI to help
detect laughter and decide whether to laugh and what kind of laughter would be 6.
(good)．Four short dialogues between real people and Erica 7. (use) to test the
system，which performed well.
However，the experts said there is more work to do to create 8. (true) natural
laughter situations.
Dr Inoue said，“The robot should actually have 9. distinct character，and it
can show this character through its conversational behaviors，such as laughing，eye gaze，
gestures and speaking styles.It may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a
casual chat 10. a robot like we would with a friend.”
