Melissa's essay about robot suits

*Melissa's essay is about an article we read in class called "A Robot Suit". Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic suit that can enable those who have lost the use of their legs to walk again.

My name is Melissa. I live in a small town in Alaska. I like to run and jump and play. I would be sad if I couldn’t do those things. I would be sad if the people I loved couldn’t do those things. I think robot suits are a good idea because they help people.

The suit is robotic pants. If you open it up you will see wires. Those wires make a robotic suit. Those wires make it walk.

It helps people walk. If someone shattered their leg, the suit could help them walk. It’s for people who have legs but can’t use them again. If people are old and their legs are weak, the suit helps.
