Peter White has an idea of a new type of house for the future. The house will have new technology which will help it save a lot of energy. Firstly, a control panel will be the brain of the house. You can set the temperature, and the windows will close automatically when it's hot outside. Secondly, hot shower is usually a great start to the day, but this will be no normal shower. It will use rain water collected from the roof and heated by solar energy, or heat from the sun. Thirdly, the house will be a self-cleaning house. When you go are not at home, a system will recognize which place needs to be cleaned and do the cleaning. This house will be built and sold for those who are caring about the environment.

My bedroom is often very messy. So after I read about minimalism in a magazine, I decided to do something about my bedroom. Minimalism is a style of living where you only keep the most important items and you throw away everything else. I started by throwing away a lot of the things which I didn't use. Although it was quite difficult at first, I collected bags of clothes to give to charity. I sold some of my CDs and books online and other things I think I won't need. After cleaning up cupboards, drawers and shelves, it actually became quite exciting to get things out of my room and create some fresh space. My room became larger and cleaner, I'm no longer stepping on things on the floor. I also feel a bit better, too.
