Answer the questions.

What will the home of the future look like? Some architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be smaller, because populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.

They have designed “space flats” that are just 30 square meters in size. These flats have three small rooms: a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, and of course a balcony, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.

The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be designed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded away and stored into a small space in the wall. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also be used as a computer monitor.In one corner of the room, a small cooker, a microwave and a small refrigerator are hidden out ofsight.

The other rooms are small but practical(实用). The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be changed into a sofa, if needed. The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and enjoy the view from the block of flats. All the rooms have large windows to let in plenty of sunshine.

“Space flats” are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. “It’s wonderful,” said one resident(居民). “The flat is so well-designed that you feel that there is plenty of space.”
