How can different room colours affect the way people feel?

Các màu sắc phòng khác nhau có thể ảnh hưởng đến cảm xúc của mọi người như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

Room colours can influence mood, although the effect differs between people.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Soft neutral or cool colours often have a calming effect, while brighter colours can brighten up a room and make it feel more energetic.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, pale blue may suit a bedroom, while a warm yellow can make a kitchen feel lively.

[EXTEND]Extend

A colour scheme should also consider natural light and room size, because the same colour can feel very different in a dark or bright space.

What is modern furniture like compared to older styles of furniture?

Nội thất hiện đại như thế nào so với các kiểu nội thất cũ hơn?

[POINT]Point

Modern furniture is often simpler, lighter and more multi-purpose than older styles.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Minimal design uses cleaner lines and less decoration, while traditional furniture may be heavier, more detailed and made to last for generations.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a modern sofa may include storage or convert into a bed, whereas an older wooden piece may focus more on craftsmanship.

[EXTEND]Extend

Neither style is automatically better; modern furniture suits compact living, while traditional designs can offer character and durability.

Do you think women are more interested than men in the way rooms are decorated? Why/Why not?

Bạn có nghĩ phụ nữ quan tâm đến cách trang trí phòng hơn nam giới không? Tại sao/Tại sao không?

[POINT]Point

I do not think women are naturally more interested in room decoration than men.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Interest in interior design mainly depends on personal taste, experience and how much control someone has over their living space.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, some men care deeply about furniture, lighting or technology in a room, while some women have little interest in decoration.

[EXTEND]Extend

Gender stereotypes can be misleading, so it is better not to judge a book by its cover when predicting people's interests.

Part 3Topic 3 - Home & AccommodationEasy-Intermediate

How might the climate of an area affect the importance of indoor and outdoor living spaces? Why?

Khí hậu của một khu vực có thể ảnh hưởng thế nào đến tầm quan trọng của không gian sống trong nhà và ngoài trời? Tại sao?

[POINT]Point

Climate strongly affects whether people value indoor or outdoor living spaces more.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

In mild climates, families can make use of balconies, gardens and patios for much of the year, while very hot, cold or rainy areas make indoor space more important.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, homes in warm regions may include shaded outdoor seating, whereas colder homes prioritise insulation and heating.

[EXTEND]Extend

Good housing design should respond to local climate conditions rather than copying the same layout everywhere.

Part 3Topic 3 - Home & AccommodationEasy-Intermediate

What do you think living spaces will be like in the future? Why?

Bạn nghĩ không gian sống trong tương lai sẽ như thế nào? Tại sao?

[POINT]Point

I think future living spaces will become more compact, flexible and energy-efficient, especially in large cities.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Compact living may encourage furniture and rooms to serve several purposes, while smart-home technology can manage lighting, temperature and security.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a small apartment may use movable walls or fold-away furniture to change from a work area into a sleeping space.

[EXTEND]Extend

Energy efficiency will also become more important as housing costs rise and cities try to reduce environmental impact.
