Linda and Jia Qi are listening to an American expert who is introducing the house in the future on TV. (E= Expert, J=Jia Qi, L=Linda)
E: In 20 years, people won't live in space or underground. They'll live in houses and flats just as we do today. The houses in the future will look much the same as they do today, at least from the outside, but they will be different inside. People will be able to change them. That means people can move the walls to make bigger or smaller rooms they want. However, the kitchen will become the most important room in the house. They'll still use it for cooking and also use it more as a family room. And bathroom will be bigger. People will spend more time in the bathroom…
J: Ah, people won't be able to watch TV together in the living room. They'll stay in the kitchen and the bathroom for long.
E: …A lot of furniture will be the same. I think a single computer will control most things in the house, and all the families will have a voice recognition system(语音识别系统). If you say "Turn on the lights." and the lights turns on … The technology will be smarter. For example, if we have no more milk left in the fridge, the computer will tell us. Maybe a shopping list would show on a screen on the fridge, and the toilet will move higher or lower, depending on who is using it—a child or an adult…
