English Homes

This is what Jim Blake says about a typical English house. “Many English families have got flats, but some people have

got their own houses with a garden. There are two floors in a typical English house: the ground floor and the first floor.

There is a large hall with a fireplace on the ground floor. Also on the ground floor there is a dining room, a study and a kitchen. The study is a small room with bookshelves on the walls.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor of an English house. It’s a beautiful place at any time of the year. There is no place like home!”
