3. Lời giải chi tiết

Student A: Out of the three homes we read about, which one do you think is the most original and clever?

Student B: I would say Gregory Kloehn's homes made from rubbish are the most original and clever. He uses discarded materials like washing machine doors and fridge doors to create functional shelters for homeless people. It's amazing how he turns trash into something useful.

Student A: I completely agree. It's such a creative way to address the issue of homelessness by repurposing items that would've been thrown away. I think his approach is not only resourceful but also provides a unique solution to housing needs.

Student B: Definitely. And speaking of usefulness from a social point of view, which home do you think serves that purpose the most?

Student A: I believe the shipping container homes in Brighton are the most useful from a social perspective. They are specifically designed to provide housing for homeless individuals. Despite their smaller size, they include essential amenities like a window, toilet, shower, kitchen, and living area. Plus, the stackable design allows for more people to be accommodated in a limited space.

Student B: I agree with you. The shipping container homes are practical and efficient in addressing the housing needs of the homeless population. They offer basic living necessities while making the most of available resources. It's a smart solution that can make a positive impact on society.

Student A: If you had the choice, which of these homes would you prefer to live in and why?

Student B: Personally, I would choose the shipping container homes in Brighton. Despite their compact size, they provide all the necessary facilities for comfortable living. I appreciate the fact that they are self-contained and stackable, maximizing space utilization. It would offer me a simple yet functional living space.

Student A: I understand your preference. The shipping container homes do seem like a practical choice. They offer a decent living environment within a limited footprint. And what about you? Which home would you not like to live in and why?

Student B: Well, as intriguing as it looks, I don't think I would like to live in The Crazy House in Da Lat. Its unconventional architecture with winding stairs, unusual room layouts, and lack of straight lines might not provide the practicality and comfort I desire in a permanent residence. It seems more like an artistic attraction rather than a functional home.

Student A: I see your point. The Crazy House's unique design may not suit everyone's lifestyle and preferences. It's important to have a living space that meets our practical needs and offers comfort for everyday living.
