Mai+Phan's+English+Project

Mai's English Project (Back to Mai's Home Page) (Back to 8c's Home Page) In english, the task was for students to write a creative piece of witing describing either their fantasy house of the future, their dream house or a home they have lived in before. I chose to write about my fantasy house of the future...

**__My dream house of the future __** It has always been my childhood dream to own a tree house in some kind of enchanted forest. In the future, my house is a sturdy metal tree house. Trees will no longer be chopped down to provide room for the construction of houses. The atmosphere around my tree house will be pure and unpolluted. A forest grows untamed below my house allowing animals to live their lives and nature takes its course. People will live closer to the sky; animals freely roam the ground below.

The sky would become a busy but orderly traffic way, full of hovering UFOs that uses carbon dioxide. Everywhere you look you can see solar power panels sticking up out of tree tops. Although you might think that it is a noisy place to live with all the traffic, it is not. A force field provides my home security and blocks out all noises. It is what keeps me from falling off the edge of my greenhouse which is located on the top floor.

The greenhouse is my favourite place of the house. A glass roof closes over the force field covering the garden. The roof is shaped inwards at the top like a bowl to store and catch rainwater. My greenhouse would be covered with freshly shorn grass. Exotic flowers would be dispersed throughout my garden filling it with a beautiful aroma. The best thing about my greenhouse is relaxing on my snug leather armchair anytime alone and peaceful to star gaze. I love star gazing and thanks to the advance technology of the future, with a click of a button, the ceiling turns into a nearly exact copy of the night sky. A remote control allows me to search for star constellations and look at other parts of the night sky.

An elevator leads from my greenhouse to the forest; the elevator makes two stops on its way down.

The first stop is level two, the level with all the bedrooms. The main bedroom is my mum’s. The other two joined bedrooms are me and my little sister’s. All three bedrooms are elegant and cosy. At night a heaters warms up the rooms so that when snuggling into bed I drop straight to sleep.

The second stop down is level one, where the elevator door opens up to a wide corridor and a shimmering chandelier. The door to the left leads to the lounge room. My lounge room is welcoming and brightly lit by fancy lights. In one corner of the room there are a few comfortable beige armchairs surrounding a stylish glass table. Opposite that corner is a 3D viewing TV, another technology of the future. The 3D viewing TV is a small box that projects a 3D picture. Of course, one thing my dream house cannot miss is a piano. A grand piano is placed by the fire place where I can warm my fingers before playing the piano during winter.

Finally the elevator reaches the forest. My tree house is by a small river that leads to an amazing scene... At the end of the stream I can look down at a beuatiful and magical waterfall. A flight of stairs on the side leads to the bottom of the waterfall where the water is clean. Boisterous water flows into a big pond where children splash and play. All this is about half a kilometre's walk from my house and is much better than a swimming pool.

To the right of the level one corridor is the kitchen and dining room. Since year seven, I have fallen in love with cooking, so my kitchen would be fully equipped and centred around a big table for chopping and mixing etc… The dining room contains an eight seated glass dining table. The same fancy lights from the lounge room hang from the ceiling.

My fantasy house of the future is set in a natural and magical forest. Advance technology makes life easier to live. In my dream house of the future, I get a natural environment and advance technology that helps to prevent global warming and save water.
