Sample Answer:

Hey, I’m at the mall, and I just saw the strangest thing! There’s a mannequin in one of the stores, and it suddenly started dancing to the music that’s playing. It’s moving like a real person, with all these exaggerated dance moves, and people around me are just standing there, watching in amazement. It’s like the mannequin has come to life! I can’t tell if this is some kind of new display feature or if something weird is happening. Have you ever heard of anything like this? It’s both funny and kind of unsettling at the same time. Everyone is taking videos, and I’m not sure if it’s a robot or something else. What do you think? Should I be worried or just enjoy the show?
