Learning Objectives
In this class, you will
figure out the structure of the passage and learn about smart homes and what they can do in the future；
infer the writing purpose and intended audience of this passage;
express your ideas about smart homes.
1. What does it mean when we say something, such as a phone, is smart
“smart”
Brainstorm

Smart phones, smart watches, smart speakers…智能音箱
To say something is “smart” means that it can make decisions on their own without a human telling it what to do, and that it can learn how to do things itself.
2. What do you think a “smart” house can do that others cannot
2. What do you think a “smart” house can do that others cannot
I would expect that a smart house could control room temperature and lights, for example.

Conclusion
Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computers These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems.
However, in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget. These smart homes will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in.

Intelligent Controls
Today, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs for our appliances, and remote controls for our TVs and air conditioners. In the future, we will be using advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by itself. You will no longer have to think about turning switches on and off yourself. Your home will also learn your daily routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come on the instant you enter the door and along with your favourite music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already prepared for you. All controls will respond to voice commands, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey.

Regular Health Checks
In addition, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day. Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night. It will also be checking your body weight. If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning to your phone. It will also give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how to sleep better. Smart toilets will be keeping constant track of your health as well. They can warn you early on if there is something abnormal or if you have a critical illness, such as cancer, and potentially save your life.

No More Disasters
Smart home will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents.
For example, if a water pipe starts leaking, of if there is a short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information. This way, you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded or catches fire.

The time of smart homes has already come.
