WHERE TO LIVE: HOMES FOR THE FUTURE

Below you will find basic information about some of the homes of the future. Discover what sort of dwellings they are and when you are finished, write an essay comparing and contrasting them.

So decide what works for you and write using the comparison and contrast structures you have learnt.
