I’d like to tell you about my dream house. It’s near the beach on a sunny island. It has to be near the sea because I love swimming. The house has got big windows and a fantastic view of the sea. There’s a lovely garden, too. It’s large enough for people to play in and it’s also got a swimming pool. As well as a pool, there’s a skatepark. Inside the house, there’s a huge fish tank. It’s full of beautiful tropical fish. But the really special thing about my house is the technology. There are robots in every room. I think they’re as intelligent as humans. They cook the meals and do the washing-up. They make my bed and they tidy the living room as well. I don’t have to do any chores.
