Great Britain

Housing

People in Britain prefer houses to flats, because they like privacy and independence. A typical English house has a front and back garden. It has two floors. On the ground floor there is a hall, toilet, kitchen, dining room and living-room. The bedrooms are on the second floor. There are three main types of houses in Britain. The cheapest ones are terraced houses. These houses are joined together in long rows.

The houses are often tiny and identical. The most popular type of house in Britain is a semidetached house. They can be found in suburbs. Much more expensive than a semi is a detached house with a garden all around it.


English food

Typical English meals for a day are cereals, toast and butter, a glass of juice and tea for workday breakfasts, fried bacon and eggs, sausages, fried tomatoes, toast and marmalade and many cups of tea or coffee on Sundays. Lunch is a lighter and quicker meal than in this country. The evening meal, dinner, is the main meal of the day.
