The future home will use integrated sensors to tell     3     you leave home each morning, and then go into     4     energy-efficient mode all by itself. You will no longer have to think about     5     (turn) switches on and off yourself. Your home will also learn your daily routine and     6     (prefer), so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come     7     the instant you enter the door along with your favourite music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already     8     (prepare) for you. All controls will respond to voice commands, so     9     you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system     10     (obey).
