Robot teachers take over classroom
幼儿园里的机器人老师
It's a high-tech answer to a chronic problem in South Korea's kindergartens.Where teachers' assistants can not be found,robotic versions like Jenny Lou,the exercise dog are filling the gap.The idea of robots teaching classes is still in its infancy,but it's already proving to be a hit.
韩国幼儿园长期以来难以解决的问题现在有了高科技解决方法。而类似于Jenny Lou的这类电动狗都够填补这种空缺。虽然用机器人教学仍处于萌芽阶段，但已证明是行之有效的方法。
Seven-year-old Kan Bou-Gou is a big fan.He says he particularly enjoys the robot-led gymnastics class and he is not alone.His classmates have embraced their robotic teachers with enthusiasm.The government sponsored robot-learning program was launched earlier this year with a dual aims of introducing children to the concept of robotics while simultaneously filling the need for more classroom supervision.
七岁大的Kan Bou-Gou是超级机器人迷。他表示他特别喜欢机器人领头的体操课，而且并不只有他一个人喜欢。他的同学们开心地围绕着机器人老师。由政府赞助的机器人教学课程在今年年初推行，其目的旨在一方面向儿童宣扬机器人的概念，另一方面满足课堂监管需求。
"I think the robot can deal with children when teachers don't have enough time to take care of each one.Besides, it has many convenient functions in the way it can check the students' daily attendance which was a teacher's job and it can regularly check the children's mood and condition."
“我认为机器人能够与孩子交流，特别是当老师没有足够的时间照看好每个小孩子时。而且它还有许多便利功能，如检查孩子们每天的考勤情况，而之前这是老师的工作。它还能时不时查看下孩子们的情绪和身体状况。
Which is one of Eroby specialties,when the children have checked themselves in,Eroby takes their photograph then leads them in an English class set to music,of course.
这也是Eroby的专长之一，当孩子们报到时，Eroby会给他们拍照并且用音乐指引孩子们去上英语课。
About 50 kindergartens across the country are using the robot learning service.But that number is expected to increase ten fold by the end of next year.The government says it does not want to replace its human teachers but to give them an invaluable tool for teaching in the modern classroom.
韩国各地大约有50多家幼儿园目前正在使用机器人教学服务。但预计明年年末这个数据将要翻十番。政府表示他们无意替代现在的人类老师，相反他们想在现代化的教室里为幼儿园老师们提高一件有价值的教学工具。

China seeks new ways to cope with ageing pressure
中国寻找缓解老龄化新方法
China's rapidly aging population has posed enormous challenges to its pension system. In March, regulatory authorities approved a new house-for-pension scheme by an insurance company that is similar to a reverse mortgage loan. So far, 22 people in four pilot cities have signed up for the program.
If you are retired and find your pension inadequate, would you be willing to sign away the deed to your house in exchange for a guaranteed monthly income?
Mr. Kang and his wife Ms. Ma are the first couple in Beijing to say yes to this house-for-pension idea.
The couple, who lost their daughter tragically some years back, now get 9,000 yuan each month, over and above the pension they already receive.
Happy Life Insurance is the first company approved by the government to operate this scheme.
It is testing the waters and accepting applications in the four test cities approved for the pilot: Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou.
All participants must also be between 60 to 85 years old.
Those who are approved for the program receive monthly payments, based on the market value of their property, and their life expectancy.
Professor Dong Keyong specializes in pension systems. He says there are three main obstacles in the way of this new scheme gaining wider popularity.
First, is the traditional Chinese belief that parents should leave property to their children as an inheritance. Another issue is calculating life expectancy and how much will be paid, and for how long. It is also difficult to evaluate housing prices due to China's volatile property market and policy.
The United Nations estimates China will have nearly 440 million people over the age of 60 by 2050—around a quarter of the total.
That will push the already stretched pension system to the limit. And businesses and individuals may need to find their own ways to fill the gaps in the system.
For elders like Mr. Kang and Ms. Ma, joining the house-for-pension scheme can be a much safer way to ensure a decent life. But this program is not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are still many others in urgent need of financial support, and it is going to take time and testing to find an answer for everyone.

Euro zone countries divided on Greek bailout
欧元区针对希腊救助存在争议
Euro zone countries are divided, after Athens submitted a loan request to the IMF on Friday to unlock its third bailout since 2010. Germany is taking a hard stance on austerity, while other countries fear it may be insufficient to reignite Greece's economy.
Euro zone countries are still debating on whether the austerity measures would bring economic growth to Greece. While it worked in the case of Iceland and Ireland and helped these countries to regain growth, it wasn't as effective in Southern European countries.
Katseli believes the austerity measures were simply unsuitable for Greece's situation.Other experts also suggest that politics plays a big part of the negotiations. They say Euro zone countries did not want to help the left party in Greece to abolish austerity measures, as this would leave chances for the left party Podemos in Spain to rise to power.
