1. The advantages of a house
A house has many advantages.

I will start with the biggest one in my opinion. You will have the choice between an existing construction or a project of your own, in which you will personalise each room according to your tastes and preferences.

Second benefit is lot of space which you can use to swimming pool or some chill zone. There is no problem if you have a dog. You can let him out if you don’t want him at home and it’s also good for him. He have more space to relax too. All in all if you are creative and have some money you can built what ever you want in your garden.

More peaceful, more auiet

2. The disadvantages of houses
Like everything else, houses also have their disadvantages.

Houses are more expensive than flats and you have more worries. You should keep fresh your garden and you must clean more rooms.

And if you don’t have new house you must still remodeling everything you don’t like and that’s could be exhausted in the long term.

Home safety is really important, like - imagine living in your home in fear. Some things are helping us to live safe, careless lifes in our homes, for exaple - locks. This is a “must have” option, you can lock your doors and feel safe, because you know that nobody’s gonna break in. However, some people know how to effortlessly break in without you knowing, so you better set up your cameras or alarms around your house/apartment. There are some “improved” locks, like some are scanning your fingerprint or some are with codes and built-in cameras.

If you have a house, it should be fenced. You don’t want any strangers walking on your property without your knowing or some run-away dog that could be potentially aggressive to attack your family or ruin your property. There are concrete fences that are safer than usual ones, they are taller and non see thru. If you have one of the basic fences, you should get some bushes or trees to cover your garden.
Safety is also about your location, apartments/houses in cities are tend to be more in bigger danger that houses in villages or outskirts. People in cities usually live as “head on head”, so these cases are happening more often.

My dream house should be elegant, stylish and large. It should be a one storey building with 6 bedrooms.  In each bedroom, I would like to have a television set or a music system for entertainment of my family and guests. It should have large windows for sufficient airing and lighting.

I love nature and I want my house to be situated in an enclosed area covered with all types of trees. Flowers of different kinds such as lilies, hibiscus and others should compliment my compound. The house should be near a mall, school and church for shopping, education and my spirituality respectively. There should be a fireplace in the sitting room for relaxing and warmth during the night or old seasons. The kitchen should be large and spacious with a large set of kitchen appliances including a refrigerator, microwave, cooker, blender, oven, cooking pots and so on.
For extra comfort, the living room should have a large television set for more entertainment.  The stairs to the first floor should be strong and stylish with a spiral design.

My compound should have an enclosed swimming pool for safety of my pets. The pool should be for swimming, relaxing and parties. Near the pool, there should be sought of a beach house for relaxing and for comfort.

- a bit different than housing culture in the UK or in the Czech Republic
- majority owns their home, not rented
- there are huge price differences in each state, for example average house in California costs 700K $, while in Texas average house costs about 200K $
- houses in the US are fragile, 90 percent of houses are built by wooden frame, which results in collapsing, caused by tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes
- the houses are way more popular than flats compared to the Czech Republic
- but it is also very popular and expensive to own an apartment in a skyscraper

Comparing living in the center of a city and the outskirts of city
When you are supposed to compare outskirts and center of town, from point of living in one, you aren't looking only on house or flat, at least in most of cases its house and flat. But there is naturaly more to it. There are suroundings, such as beauty of both nature and city. In house you have more privacy, space but it comes with more work around it. And there is usualy one more major dawnback, availabity of sources. When you live in flat, you have all things around you, whitch also goes with eventful vicinity. In averege Its easier to live in flat then in house, incouding all sorts of problems. I would say its in the end only on preferecion and budget of invidual.

Living in a flat in the centre of the city has as many advantages as disadvantages. Firstly, we can talk about advantages. Buying a flat is usually much cheaper than buying a house. We can rent the flat if we don’t have much money or if we are not planning to stay here for the rest of our lives. The flat is also a good option for students, who are studying at the university and don’t want to live in a dorm, where everything is very loud, and they want to have some personal space. In a summer season we don’t have to cut the grass in front of your door and in a winter season we don’t have to throw away the snow. Big shops, theatres and cinemas are close to us if we are into spending our time with our friends or family. Secondly, I would like to mention some disadvantages. Flat is not usually as big as a house. Living in a flat is not that calm because of the traffic and sometimes because of noisy neighbours. The neighbours are living next to us, and this point can make us feel not comfortable. It is also almost impossible to organise a party at home because we can’t play the music very loud. Flat doesn’t have any garden so we must be pleased with balcony. Especially at the evenings is hard to find a parking place outside.

Most people in England live in urban areas. Towns and cities are spreading into their surrounding environment to cope with the increase populations.

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.
Most houses in England are made of stone or brick from the local area where the houses are built. The colours of the stones and bricks vary across the country.

Detached (a house not joined to another house)

Semi-detached (two houses joined together)

Terrace (several houses joined together)

Flats (apartments)

Detached house: stands by itself, usually with a garden all around it, most of them are to be found in suburbs or in the green belt (= open green area around city without any industrial development), much more expensive, often owned by professional people.
Semi-detached houses: built in pairs, usually have a small back and front garden, 3 bedrooms and a small bathroom, have been built in large numbers since the 1930´s, the most popular type of house in Britain.
Terraced houses: are built in long rows, usually found in inner cities, often built by industries to house their workers near the factories, often called „back to backs“ (= the back of this type of house faces the back of another identical row of houses), in recent years have been renovated (central heating…).
Tower blocks: can vary from 3-5 storeys high up to 10-20 storeys high, each storey contains 5 or 6 flats for families, in London dangerous at night. Bungalow: only one storey, popular with elderly people who find stairs hard
