4. Practise the words and phrases that have to do with the places where people live. Read and translate the following texts. Describe a place where you lived, where you live now and where would you like to live.

a. I grew up in a red-brick terraced house in Manchester; a classic two-up, two-down, with a lounge and dining room on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor. At times, there were six people in our household: my parents, my grandparents, my sister and I. Later, I moved to a tiny bedsit (now you’d say a studio) — a single room with a separate bathroom. the four-bedroom semi where I live now seems like a mansion by comparison

b. Well, I don’t live in a castle. I live in a condo. I bought my beautiful small apartment five years ago when I moved to San Francisco. There are six apartments altogether, in the condominium, a fairly modern building in a quiet side street, and all of us owners get along really well. It’s a shame you can’t say the same about our cats

c. I’m an architect, and I specialize in planning low-energy houses. My current project is a modern three-storey family home in a residential neighbourhood. It’s made entirely of wood and glass. There are solar panels on the roof, and the windows face south and have triple glazing. People already built well-insulated houses hundreds of years ago. My own home is a 200-year-old cottage with a straw thatched roof, so it’s cool in summer and warm in winter.
