Speaking SVIP

a. Emily: You won't believe it, but one of the cars had no steering wheel at all!

b. Emily: It was! They control everything with a computer.

c. Sarah: Seriously? That sounds so strange!

a. David: That makes sense. Feeling safer at home is important.

b. David: What do you think is the best thing about smart homes?

c. Michael: I think the security aspect is great, like smart locks.

a. Daniel: Oh yeah, like rooftop gardens or more nature integrated into the buildings.

b. Jessica: I hope future schools will have more green spaces, even in the city.

c. Jessica: That would be much nicer than just concrete everywhere.

a. Matthew: Yeah, it's pretty cool! Imagine getting your shopping that quickly.

b. Olivia: I wonder when that will become normal here in the city.

c. Olivia: Hey! Have you seen those videos of drones delivering packages?

a. Emma: I bet robots will be driving all the buses and taxis.

b. Andrew: That would probably make transportation safer and more efficient.

c. Emma: And maybe less traffic if they can communicate well with each other.

a. Chloe: Yeah, like smart traffic lights and easy access to information.

b. Joshua: Like what? Everything connected to make life easier?

c. Chloe: I think the future would have smart technology everywhere to help people.

a. Ethan: I know, but maybe if everyone makes small changes, it's possible in the future.

b. Grace: It's hard to imagine Hanoi completely plastic-free right now.

c. Benjamin: Like more seating areas and places for community events?

a. Ava: Maybe, but the technology needs to improve a lot.

b. Hannah: Do you think it's possible in the future? Solar-powered cities?

c. Hannah: It's a nice idea to think about, anyway.

d. Hannah: And it would probably cost a huge amount of money.

e. Ava: True, but think of the benefits for the environment.

a. Jacob: Of course! Maybe even more possibilities for creativity.

b. Samuel: Like virtual concerts you could attend from your sofa?

c. Samuel: If we lived in virtual cities, would there still be art and music?

d. Samuel: That actually sounds quite cool.

e. Jacob: Yes! Or interactive art you can walk through and change.

a. Thomas: But what about the pressure? It would be enormous.

b. William: Maybe! Think about it, lots of space down there.

c. Thomas: Underwater cities? Like in science fiction films?

d. William: They'd have to build really strong structures, I guess.

e. William: I was imagining, could we ever live in cities under the sea?

a. Ella: I was thinking about what jobs our children will have in the future.

b. Ruby: Like teaching computers? That sounds complicated.

c. Ella: Maybe more like working alongside them, managing the systems.

d. Ella: They say there will be lots of jobs working with artificial intelligence.

e. Ruby: It's hard to imagine! Everything is changing so fast.

a. Charlotte: They said it can be just as good, because they control everything.

b. Zoe: It sounds convenient, but would the food taste as good?

c. Charlotte: Yeah! And you could just go downstairs to get fresh salad for lunch.

d. Charlotte: Imagine looking out of your office window and seeing fields of lettuce growing!

e. Zoe: That would be a very different view! More green, I suppose.

a. Henry: Exactly. Things like better drainage systems to stop flooding.

b. Henry: And planting trees for shade during very hot days.

c. Henry: I was reading about how cities can prepare for more extreme weather.

d. Luke: That makes sense. Some places get really bad floods now.

e. Luke: Like what? More big storms and heatwaves?

a. Madison: Could they ever put limits on how much rent people can charge?

b. Madison: Like fewer people wanting to build new homes to rent out?

c. Nathan: Exactly. It's a difficult balance to find.

d. Nathan: Some cities do have rent control, but it can have other problems too.

e. Madison: There's no easy answer to making cities affordable for everyone.

a. Caleb: But what if it orders something you don't actually need?

b. Amelia: I guess you can still control it, but it's supposed to be helpful.

c. Amelia: That would be so useful. No more last-minute trips to the shop.

d. Caleb: Probably not! They can order groceries automatically when you're low.

e. Amelia: I was thinking, with smart fridges, will we ever run out of milk again?

a. Sarah: What about where the energy comes from in sustainable cities?

b. Sarah: So, less reliance on fossil fuels?

c. Daniel: Exactly. And maybe wind power or other clean energy sources.

d. Daniel: A lot of focus is on renewable energy, like solar panels on buildings.

e. Sarah: That sounds like a big change from how cities are now.

A. Also, robots could work in shops and help customers find what they need.

B. They could bring medicine or help during operations.

Ryan: Hey Mia, have you ever thought about how robots might help us in cities in the future?

Mia: Yes, I think about it sometimes.

Ryan: Really? What kind of jobs do you think they will do?

Mia: For example, they could clean the streets or collect trash every day.

Ryan: That sounds great.

Mia: I also think robots could work in hospitals to help doctors and nurses.

Ryan: That's true.

Mia: Yes, and maybe they can also take care of older people or patients at home.

Ryan: That would be very helpful, especially when there are not enough workers.

Mia:

Ryan: You mean like answering questions or putting items on the shelves?

Mia: Exactly! They can work all day without getting tired or bored.

Ryan: But do you think robots will take jobs away from people?

Mia: Maybe some jobs, yes, but I think new jobs will appear too, like fixing and programming the robots.

Ryan: That makes sense.

Mia: I agree. If we use them in the right way, robots can make city life better for everyone.

A. It would make learning much more interesting and easier to understand.

Tuan: Linh, have you ever thought about what schools will be like in the future cities?

Linh: Yes, I think schools will change a lot, especially with new technology everywhere.

Tuan: I agree.

Linh:

Tuan: Also, I think classrooms won't look the same. They might be bigger and more open, with flexible spaces.

Linh: Yeah, and students can work in groups or alone, depending on the lesson.

Tuan: I heard some schools will use virtual reality for lessons.

Linh: That sounds fun!

Tuan: Do you think teachers will still be important?

Linh: Definitely. Even if robots or computers help, teachers will guide students and explain things.

Tuan: I hope so.

Linh: That's true. Those skills will help us in future jobs and life.

Tuan: Maybe some lessons will be online, so students can study at home sometimes.

Linh:

Tuan: Me too. School is not just about learning, but also about meeting friends and working together.

Linh: Yes, I hope future schools keep that balance between technology and social time.
