TEXT 1 4

Everybody knows that there is no place like home. For the British their homes are very important. They dedicate their life to them, give them a lot of time and effort; they look after their homes with much love, care and enthusiasm. 4

More than half of British families own their homes (houses or flats). Others live in council accommodations and some people rent from private owners. 4

British houses can be situated in the center or on the outskirts of the city, or in the suburbs. Most houses are made of stone or brick from the local area where the houses are built. The colors of the stones and bricks vary across the country. Modern houses seldom have attics, cellars or balconies. 4

A semi-detached house is joined to the house next door by a shared wall. A house of this kind is not as expensive as a detached house, but still offers a good standard of privacy and comfort. It usually has a small garden at the front and a larger garden at the back. Many semi-detached houses were built in the 1920s and 1930s by private companies. They bought up land and developed housing estates of identical buildings. 4
