Does every child in the world love this specific teacher, "his" teacher? Or does every child love his own teacher?

TODAY HUMAN BEINGS HAVE BECOME MECHANICAL

Not sure about this one.

WE ARE TEACHING MACHINES

Are we "teaching machines" -- machines that teach all day? Or are we teaching to machines, trying to make the machines learn?

WE MADE HER A MODEL

Did we make a model for her? Or did we make her into a supermodel?

SHE LOOK AFTER THEIR BROTHERS

Did she take care of their brothers? Or did she look at something after their brothers had already looked at it?

THEY FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOT STEPS

Did they follow someone into his footsteps? Or did they follow "in his footsteps" as the saying goes?
