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 familyroom.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 stayin the
kitchen and the bathroom for long.
E:....A lot of f fur rn it ur re wi 11 lbe t the same.I think a single com putter will C 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 ;...
