Чтение текста вслух
Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
As the world's population grows, there will be less and less space available for housing. One solution for the future could be 'vertical villages'. These are buildings that have other purposes besides residential use. Designs exist for vertical villages that have shops, libraries and other facilities on the lower floors in a square-shaped base. On top of the base are apartments for 60 or 70 families, within a more traditional tower block shape. The plans for the vertical villages have been developed with families in mind. They include 'sky gardens', cafes and even swimming pools close to the apartments.
Making use of space in this way will have a huge impact on the way people live in cities. However, it will be a positive development because we will use urban spaces more efficiently and it will be better for the environment.
