The majority of the British population live in small houses built close together. A typical house of this kind is built with two floors. The front door, which faces the street, opens into a hall with two rooms, one of each side of the hall. One of them is the dining-room; the other may be called the sitting-room or the living- room. The most modern name for this room is the lounge. The rooms upstairs are bedrooms; they are often very small. Often the dining-room is the most comfortable room in the house, and the one that is used all the time. 1he other members of the family bring their hobbies and games to the table. But when the television set (TV-set) is turned on, no one can do anything in the dining-room. Very many houses of this type were built in British cities in the 19th and early 20h centuries. Today the land on which they stand has become very valuable and the owners either sell it or pull down the old houses and build large blocks of flats. In this way the owners make more money. II. A.
