Do you think life will be more stressful in the future? Yes, it probably will be more stressful. As the world gets smaller, employees
will probably have to travel to different countries more often and stay in touch
with colleagues and clients all over the world. There will also be more
competition for jobs and the cost of living will keep going up.
Questions about the future When the examiner asks a question like the one below, you know that you are
being tested on your ability to express ideas in the future tense.
How do you think the design of homes will change in the future? Example 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.
