Слайд 3HOME / HOUSE
Home – the place where you live or where
you feel that you belong.
It’s time to go home.
Russia is my home .
House – the building that is made for people to live in.
There are many new houses in our street.
Слайд 4TYPES OF HOUSES
There are many different types of housing in Britain,
ranging from the traditional thatched country cottage to flats in the centre of towns.
Houses are often described by the period in which they were built (e.g., Georgian, Victorian, 1930s, or post-war) and whether they are terraced, semi-detached or detached. As well as preferring houses to flats, for many people a garden is also an important consideration. Although Britain is relatively small the areas where people live vary considerably: there are new towns and inner cities, suburbs, commuter belts and the open countryside.
Слайд 5TYPES OF HOUSES
Terraced houses are usually found in inner cities. They
are built in long rows where each house is attached to the ones on either side. The back of this type of house faces the back of another identical row of houses, so they are often-known as ‘back to backs’.
Слайд 6TYPES OF HOUSES
Semi-detached houses – each house is part of a
pair and is joined on one side to its partner. The semi usually has a small back and front garden, three bedrooms and a small bathroom. It is the most popular type of house in Britain. Towns in Britain have areas which contain streets and streets of semis, often with well-kept gardens.
Слайд 7TYPES OF HOUSES
Detached house stands by itself, usually with a garden
all around it. These houses are much more expensive than semis and are often owned by professional people. Most detached houses are to be found in affluent suburbs or in the ‘green belt’ – a strip of protected open countryside around a city, where no industrial development or major building schemes are allowed.
Слайд 8TYPES OF HOUSES
Britain is famous for its country cottages which were
often built on the country estates of wealthy landowners. The workers on the estate rented the cottages from the landowner and worked on the land. Cottages were also frequently built around a village green.
Слайд 9TYPES OF HOUSES
A block of flats is a large building that
has a lot of flats where people live.
Слайд 10TYPES OF HOUSES
A bungalow is a small house in which all
the rooms are on the ground level. Many old people live in bungalows because there are no stairs to climb. In Britain, large groups of bungalows are often built together on the edges of towns, or in places were people go to live when they have retired from work, such as the south coast.
Слайд 11INTRESTING FACTS
Street Numbering
Street numbering was introduced by act of Parliament in
1765. Every house in a town and city has a number followed by the name of the road it is in e.g. 26 Avebury Avenue. The first house in the road is number one and the last house is the number of buildings in the street. The number readily identifies the location of a property in a road and so makes it easier for the emergency services to find houses quickly.
Odd numbers are usually assigned to the left side of the street and even numbers to the right, as they head out of town.
Слайд 12INTRESTING FACTS
Why do we give our houses names?
House naming started many
years ago with rich people naming their homes. The rich named their Halls, Houses, Manors, Castles, and Lodges according to ancestry, location, and family titles: Norfolk House (Duke of), Belvoir Castle (overlooking the Belvoir Valley); Castle Droge (named after a 13th ancestor) etc. Gradually over the years other people began to give names to their homes too.

Britain has some truly unusual houses, each
with ability to make a passerby stop and wonder if what they are seeing is actually real. Some were built to inspire wonder while others were simply created as a process of history.
These strange houses are just a few of the weird and wonderful homes that can be found in the United Kingdom.

Слайд 319. Read the text below and do the tasks that follow
The well-known saying, ‘An Englishman’s home is his castle’, illustrates the desire for privacy and the importance attached to ownership which seem to be at the heart of the British attitude to housing.
Flats are not popular just because they do not give enough privacy. As important as privacy is the opportunity of individual self-expression. People like to choose the colour of their own front door and window frames, and also to choose what they are going to do with a little bit of outside territory, however small that may be.
The possibilities of displaying individuality, offered by the front garden, are almost endless.
Слайд 329. Read the text below and do the tasks that follow.
In any
one street, some are paved, some are full of flowerbeds with paths in between, others are just patches of grass, others are a mixture of these.
Just as the British idea of home is a mental concept as much as a physical reality, so is the idea of domestic comfort. The important thing is to feel cosy – that is, to create an atmosphere which seems warm even if it isn’t really warm.
Despite the reverence they tend to feel for ‘home’, British people have little deep-rooted attachment to their house as an object, or to the land on which it stands. It is the abstract idea of ‘home’ which is important, not the building.
Слайд 339. Read the text below and do the tasks that follow.
Most British people do not ‘belong’ to a particular place, nor are they usually brought up in a long-established family house to which they can always return. Perhaps this is why they are not usually content to rent their. This will be sold when the time and price is right and its occupiers will move into some other house which they will then turn into ‘home’ – a home which they will love just as much as they did the previous one.
