The house of everyone
is to him as
his castle
and fortress, as well as

as for his repose.

Do you know the difference between English and
Russian house?
Слайд 5
In the ancient times rich
Englishmen built big
stone
houses with high towers and thick walls around
it .
It was more a fortress than
a house which can defeat
not only the Lord’s family,
but his servants and
their families too
in the case of danger.
Слайд 6
But poor peasants and workers used to live
in small gloomy cold huts.
We can see the
same situation in Russia too and thus and there noble people live in beautiful houses and palaces.
Слайд 7
There are some
types of houses
in England:
Слайд 8
A semi-detached
house is joined
to another house
on one side.
Such house is usually
for two
families.
Слайд 9
A detached house
A detached house is not
connected
to other houses.
It has a garage near it
and
often has a small garden
behind it.
Слайд 10
Terraced houses are
several houses that are
joined
together in a line
Слайд 11
A block of flats

Most people live in small houses built close

. Almost in every English house there is
a fireplace, it is usually in the sitting room.

Around a house there is a front garden
& back garden. The front garden is a smooth
grass lawn, you can see also there a few flower beds.

than front one. Vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, cauliflowers, peas &
lettuce are grown there.

This house is a dream for common Russian,
but it is a bit simpler in Russia. The
majority of Russian population lives in blocks of flats.
Слайд 20
There are several flats on one floor. Usual
Russian flat consists of entrance hall, two or three
rooms, kitchen, toilet & bathroom which are not very large. In front of a house there is a children’s playground.
Слайд 21
Some people live in private houses or cottages
with gardens around. I think that living in private
house or cottage is more comfortable because you have a large area at your disposal, you don’t have a quarrel with your neighbors when you make a noise or when you listen to the music in high volume, in summer you can get a sunburn in your garden.
Слайд 22
Depending on personality & financial situation people make
their house & home.

a dining room, two bedrooms,
a kitchen, a toilet
and a bathroom.
