BRITISH HOMES
1. About 80 per cent of British people live in houses built close together. Detached houses are usually in expensive suburbs, quite far from the town centre. Terraced houses and blocks of flats are mostly found in town centers. They can either be very small two-storey houses with one or two bedrooms or large houses with three or five floors and four or five bedrooms.
2. About 67 per cent of people in Britain own their houses or flats. Most of the rest live in rented accommodation. People in Britain buy houses or flats because there is not enough rented accommodation and what there is can be expensive.
3. Council flats1 and houses are built and owned by the local council. After the Second World War a lot of council flats, known as tower blocks, were constructed. Some were as high as 20 storeys and so badly built that they had to be pulled down only thirty years later.
4. Modern housing estates2 are built differently now. There might be a mixture of two-storey terraced houses together with a four-storey block of flats. There are play areas for children and there is often a community centre3 where people who live on the estate can meet.
5. Since 1980’s council tenants have been able4 to buy their own homes very cheaply if they have lived in them for over two years. By 1993, 1,5 million council houses had been sold, but only 5000 council houses or flats were built to replace them. This means that it is now very difficult to find cheap housing or rent.
6. Most British houses have a garden and many British people spend a lot of time in it. Most gardens, even small ones, have flowers and a lawn. If you don’t have a garden, it is possible to grow flowers and vegetables on at allotment5 which is a piece of land rented from the local council.

1. Около 80 процентов британцев живут в домах, построенных близко друг к другу. Виллы, как правило, в дорогих пригородах, расположены довольно далеко от центра города. Террасные и многоквартирные дома находятся чаще всего в центе города. Это могут быть либо очень маленькие двухэтажные домики с одной или двумя спальнями, либо большие дома с тремя или пятью этажами и четырьмя - пятью спальнями.
