電気通信大学 AWE II: Future places, homes & lifestyles・将来、未来の場所、家、ライフスタイル

Hello! 



How are you? Today, let's look at future life in different kinds of places, homes and lifestyles.

Look at the apartment building above. Could you see yourself living in it in the future? Maybe it's not your style, but maybe some other people might like it!


Activity 1

Look at these different kinds of places and homes. Which do you like? Which do you see yourself wanting to live in? Which one is better than another one? Which kind of place or home fits your personality the best? 

Talk about these with your classmates and write some notes about what you like, and which you think is better. Then - think about what kind of home and place in the future you could see yourself living in.  


Living in Tokyo

Living in a small town


Living in a danchi

Living in an apartment 

Now how about your lifestyle? Which do you think you would want to do? Do you see yourself…

…getting married and having a family? 

Or being happy to stay single? 

Activity 2
Here's a fun song about one person's idea of what she wants from married life. Listen to this and read the lyrics along to the song. What do you think of it?


Have fun! See you next time!
