How do you feel about your Chinese? Is it good or bad? If you think you are good at Chinese, you can join in the competition named Dictation Assembly of Chinese Characters(《中國漢字聽寫大會》). The competition became popular among teenagers. Let's know something about it.

More and more computers and smartphones are used by teenagers. They spend too much time on the Internet playing or chatting. They are used to sending messages by computers and smartphones. As a result, some teenagers forget how to write the Chinese characters by hand. The teachers and parents are very worried about it. What can they do?

Not long ago, they found an interesting program called Dictation Assembly of Chinese Characters. The program was similar to the American show National Spelling Bee. In this program, middle school students competed among themselves and wrote down the Chinese characters by dictation. Over two hundred competitors were from forty-six middle schools. The audiences loved this new kind of competition, too. They tried to write down the Chinese characters while the competitors were writing them. But they found it was also difficult for them to write down all the Chinese characters.

Is it an interesting competition? Can you be the winner?

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman's gallbladder (膽囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor's order to a robot to move the tools quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor's hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where doctors work.
