   我認為未來的建築將更加環保，技術更加先進。它們可能會使用太陽能電池板等可再生能源，以減少對環境的影響。例如，智慧建築可以採用自動化系統控制照明、供暖和製冷，以節約能源。建築物還可以設計更多的綠色空間，如屋頂花園，以改善空氣品質和居住條件。此外，隨著人口的增長，我認為建築物將變得更高、更緊密，尤其是在繁忙的城市，以最大限度地利用空間。

   In the future, I think buildings will be more eco-friendly and technologically advanced. They may use renewable energy sources, like solar panels, to reduce environmental impact. For example, smart buildings could have automated systems to control lighting, heating, and cooling to save energy. Buildings might also be designed with more green spaces, like rooftop gardens, to improve air quality and living conditions. Additionally, with population growth, I imagine buildings will be taller and more compact, especially in busy cities, to maximize space.

2. Why do some people choose to live in the city centre?
   為什麼有些人會選擇住在市中心？

   有些人選擇住在市中心是因為方便。住在市中心通常意味著靠近工作場所、學校、商店和娛樂場所。例如，如果某人在市中心的辦公室工作，那麼住在市中心就可以避免長時間的通勤。市中心的公共交通也更方便，可以節省時間和金錢。此外，市中心有更多的社交活動、餐館和文化活動，這對喜歡積極生活方式的人來說很有吸引力。

   Some people choose to live in the city centre because of convenience. Living in the city often means being close to work, schools, shops, and entertainment. For example, if someone works in an office downtown, living in the city centre allows them to avoid long commutes. City centres also have better access to public transportation, which can save time and money. Additionally, the city centre offers more social activities, restaurants, and cultural events, which can be attractive for people who enjoy an active lifestyle.

3. What would people normally consider when they rent or buy a house or an apartment?
   人們在租房或買房時通常會考慮哪些因素？

   點此看中文

   在租房或買房時，人們通常會考慮地點、價格和面積。例如，他們可能會尋找一個離工作地點或孩子上的好學校近的地方。價格也很重要，因為人們需要控制在預算範圍內。此外，房屋或公寓的大小也是一個關鍵因素，這取決於有多少人將居住在那裡以及他們對空間的需求。其他考慮因素可能包括安全、附近的設施以及房產是否有花園或停車位等功能。

   When renting or buying a house or apartment, people usually consider location, price, and size. For example, they may look for a place close to their workplace or a good school for their children. Price is also important, as people need to stay within their budget. In addition, the size of the house or apartment is a key factor, depending on how many people will live there and their need for space. Other considerations might include safety, nearby amenities, and whether the property has features like a garden or parking space.

4. Why are apartments popular in some places while not in other places?
   為什麼有些地方流行公寓，而有些地方卻不流行？

   點此看中文

   在人口密集、空間有限的城市，公寓很受歡迎。例如，在臺北這樣的大城市，很多人都住在公寓裡，因為公寓比自家的房子更實用。公寓所占空間較小，價格通常也更實惠。然而，在農村或郊區，由於土地較多，人們可能比較喜歡帶花園的大房子，因此住宅更為普遍。公寓是否受歡迎還取決於文化因素和當地的住房趨勢。

   點此看英文

   Apartments are popular in densely populated cities where space is limited. For example, in large cities like Taipei, many people live in apartments because it’s more practical than having a house. Apartments take up less space and are often more affordable. However, in rural or suburban areas, houses are more common because there is more land available, and people might prefer larger homes with gardens. The popularity of apartments also depends on cultural factors and local housing trends.
