Girl: You live in an extended family, don’t you? I mean, your grandparents live in your house.
Boy: Yes, well, my mother’s parents. My father’s parents are dead.
Girl: Your mother’s mother lives with you, too, doesn’t she?
Boy: Oh, yes. And my great grandmother used to live with us, but she died when I was quite young.
Girl: Oh dear. But did you ask her what life used to be like years and years ago?
Boy: Yes, I did. My mother’s mother left home at 14 and went to a big house in the country. The man who lived there owned
lots of factories and shops in the city. She used to get up at five o’clock in the morning to light all the fires in the house in winter.
Girl: My father’s parents died before I was born, and my mother’s parents moved abroad when I was very young. I don’t
remember them at all. My mother used to visit them once a year in the summer, but I never went. I must ask her to tell me about
their lives when they were young.
Boy: You used to live on a farm, didn’t you? Did you have cows and sheep and things?
Girl: My mother said it wasn’t that kind of farm. It grew vegetables which they sold at the local market.
Boy: Did you used to help?
Girl: My mother told me that I would sometimes water the carrots, but I don’t remember that. I just remember being very
bored. I was really happy when we moved to the city.
Boy: So are you going to live in a big house in the future and have all your family living with you?
Girl: Well, I love your stories about your family life, but I don’t want to have so many people around me all the time. I can see
that the nuclear family might get a bit boring sometimes. But I want to get married one day. I just don’t think people should have
lots of children like they used to have.

How can we make the living environment better in the future for ordinary people? I think there are five main ways.
First, a lot of the things we use every day use a lot of energy, even when they are not on fully. We should make devices, like TVs,
computers, laptops, and so on, that turn off automatically when they are not in use. That would be more eco-friendly.
Second, we need to control areas like accommodation, shops, and offices to stop bad people stealing or damaging things. We can
do that with cameras everywhere.
The third thing we are already doing, but we must do it much more – stop using oil and gas and just use the power of the sun to
make energy. Solar power is the future.
Fourth, there’s the Internet of Things. In the future, all our appliances will be connected to the internet so, for example, the
refrigerator will know what food is in there. It can tell the owner when they must use things so that there is less waste. I’m saying
that we need connected systems, especially in the kitchen.
Finally, and again, we have started already, but we must do much, much more – recycling of metal and paper is quite good, but in
the future, we must have more recycling of everything, including all kinds of plastic.
