Homes in Britain
① Most people in England live in urba (城市的) areas. Towns and cities are spreading intotheir surrounding environment to cope with the increasing populations. In England, an average of 7,000 hectares (公顷) of farmland countryside and green space were changed to urban use every year between 1985 and 1998.② More people are buying their own homes than in the past. About two thirds of the people in England and the rest of Britain either own or are in the process of buying their own home. Most others live in houses or flats that they rent from a private landlord the local council, or housing association. People buying their houses almost always pay for it with a special loan, which they must repay with interest over a long period of time.
③ Most houses in England are made of stone or brick from the local area where the hoses are built. The colors of the stones and bricks vary across the country. England has many types of homes, In the large cities, people often live in apartments, which are called flats. In most towns, there are sleets of houses joined together in long rows. They are called terraced houses.
④ The main types of houses in England are Detached (a house not joined to another house), Semi-detached (two houses joined together), Terrace (several houses joined together) and Flats (apartments). The most popular type of home in England is semi detached (more than 27% of all homes), closely followed by detached then terraced.
⑤ A big problem in England is the rising cost of houses. In 1989 first-time buyers paid an average of around £40, 000, but in 2001 this had more than doubled to £85, 000 and in 2006 to £151,565. The cost of housing in England has increased much faster than people's wages, making it impossible for first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder unless they are in especially well-paid jobs.
