The Typical British House.

There are many different kinds of homes in Britain. Many British people love old houses and these are often more expensive than modern ones. They also love gardening and you will see gardens everywhere you go. Some gardens are small with just one tree and a few flowers. Others are large with plenty of flowers and fruit trees.

Their lawns ([lo:n] - газон) are carefully cropped (высажены), their flowerbeds (клумба) are cultivated ([`k٨ltiveitid] - ухожены) because British people are careful about almost ([olmoust] - почти) everything. They call a big garden in front of their house – “front yard”(передний дворик). In the backyard (задний дворик) sometimes there is a swimming pool. British people usually put their postboxes at the end of the driveway (проезд). It is easier for the postman to deliver their post.

• Two third of the families in Britain own their houses. A typical British house has got two floors: the ground floor and the first floor (British people say “the ground floor” but the Russian people say “the first floor”). There is a living room, a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor. And there are bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

• A typical British family has got three or four people: mother, father and two children. But old people, young family and unmarried people do not usually live together.
