 Sample Questions

How do you think the designs of home will change in the future?

Answer:
I don't think there will be much change in terms of what houses look like from the outside. In this
country, people still like traditional brick or stone houses. Having said that, the design of
apartment blocks will probably continue to develop, with more and more experimental or futuristic
buildings made of glass and metal. I imagine that it will be the insides of homes that change the
most; houses will no doubt be full of technological devices to make our lives easier. Maybe we'll
have things like voice-controlled doors, lights and appliances.
