4. Introduction
About 51 million people live in England and most
of them are largely concentrated in London. Like in
any other capital city there are a lot of block of flats
with modern flats and a lot of people prefer living
there.
But people, who are more conservative and value
the traditions of the country live in the countryside.
The houses in the countryside are usually more
expensive than the flats in big cities. I think it’s
normal because when you live in the country, you pay
not just for the house but for the marvelous views,
fresh air and a possibility to spend your free time in
the garden. To add to this, gardening is one of the
most favourite hobbies among the British .

5. Introduction
In Great Britain different sorts of people live in
different houses. Everything depends on
money, work and social status. People in Great
Britain can buy a house or rent it from local
authority. Houses in Britain cost lots of money
and they’re very expensive. Of course, many
people prefer to have the own houses rather
then to rent them but money is a very
important problem for many families in Great
Britain.

6. Types of British houses.
English people live in different types of houses.
The main types of houses in England are:
1) Detached( a house not joined to another house )
2) Semi – detached ( two houses joined together )
3) Terraced ( several houses joined together )
4) Flats ( apartments ) ( only 20% of the country’s
households live in flats, often in the large cities )
According to the statistics Britain has the second lowest
proportion of flat – dwellers in the EU. The lowest of it is in
Ireland.
English people love their houses and apartments and they
often say: <<East or West, Home is Best>> . Their houses are
always comfortable and cosy, with all modern conveniences,
central heating, cold and hot running water. There’s always a
garden behind the house or in front of it.

8. A detached house.
Detached houses are rather large. There’re
usually four bedrooms and two bathrooms on
the first floor. When you come in you can see
a hall, there’s a big lounge where British
people like having parties or just sitting and
talking in front of the fireplace in the
evenings. The kitchen is usually near the
lounge. It’s so big that sometimes they can
have meals there. There’re two small gardens
behind the house and in front of it.

10. Block of flats.
In big cities people live in a very nice block of
flats. Their flat can be small or large but
there’s always a hall, a bedroom, a kitchen, a
toilet and a bathroom there. As usual there
isn’t much furniture. You can see a sofa, a
desk, a wardrobe, a TV set, and a small coffee
table in the room. There’s a soft carpet on the
floor. The curtains are usually light. There’re
some pictures on the walls.

A semi – detached house is a house which is
joined to another house. It’s a very
comfortable and cosy house. It has a sitting
room and a kitchen on the ground floor.
There’re two bedrooms and a bathroom with
a toilet on the 1st floor. There’re all modern
conveniences in these houses.
There’s a small garden behind the house.

A terraced house is a house joined to a
row of other houses. It’s clean and cosy.
There are 3 bedrooms on the 1st floor. There’s

spending their free time in the sitting room.
There is also a small or a big fireplace in the

16. A typical British house
A typical British house is a brick house with rooms
upstairs and downstairs and a garden. It has two
floors : the ground floor and the 1st floor. The front
door which faces the street opens into the hall.
There’re usually two rooms on the ground floor : a
dining room, a living room with wide windows
looking on to the garden. The kitchen is at the far
end of the hall. There’re usually two or three
bedrooms on the 1st floor. The rooms upstairs are
often very small that’s why there isn’t much
furniture in the rooms. Bedrooms are very private
and they’re used for sleeping.

18. A typical British house
As a rule, the dining room is the most comfortable
room in the house and it’s used all the time. The
fireplace has always been the center of interest in
the room. Englishmen are fond of of sitting round
the fire talking, reading or just watching the
flames. Above the fireplace you can see a shelf on
which there’s a big beautiful clock and some
photographs. There can be a painting or a mirror
here. To add to this, every little detail, every little
picture and every little vase of flowers can make
the room cosy and special.

20. A typical British house
British homes have typical basic furniture –
beds, tables, chairs, armchairs, cupboards,
shelves, lamps, radios, television and compact
DVD players. The kitchens and bathrooms are
quite large and full of useful consumer goods.
Many people have a microwave oven, a
washing machine, a fridge, and a freezer for
frozen food.
