In any case, flats are generally not very popular with the British, especially compared to the rest of Europe, though they are acceptable to many people in the centre of big cities. People prefer housing in the suburbs, and a garden of any size is considered essential. There is a growing tendency to move away from the hustle and noise of big cities, and large areas in the countryside are now being swallowed up by ‘urban sprawl’. The saying ‘An Englishman’s home is his castle’ is well-known and it illustrates the desire for privacy. A large detached house not only ensures privacy, it is also a status symbol. When surrounded by garden, it gives the required feeling of rural life. Many Londoners, if they can afford it, move to expensive riverside apartment blocks, which continue to grow in popularity. Many of the former derelict warehouses in the Docklands have been converted into modern flats
My ideal home My homeland is so important to me, that if I could choose any place in the world to live in, I'd still choose Estonia. My perfect home must be located near Tallinn because then i can go to the capital city anytime. My perfect home must be surrounded with green nature. In the garden there should be natural junipers. The house should have very big windows which make the house bigger and brighter. This house has a design concept to provide the one continuous wall folded in different directions setting up the various views. The house has two floors. On the first floor there are living room, kitchen, dining room, wardrobe, bathroom ( with stew ) and toilet. In my living room there is circular glass table
My Ideal Home My ideal house would be a small detached villa on a quiet tropical island, preferably with an outdoor pool. The house is made of bricks. In my case I would have as many windows as possible. Light colour in the hall, it's the first thing you see when you walk into the house. There's not much space, therefore, this is fulfilled only essential things. On the right hand, there is a low cupboard, which is next to the vase of globeflowers. On the opposite wall, there is rocking chair and a peg
My ideal house I like this house very much because of it's simplicity. Big windows make the house very commodious and white colours add this something-something to it. This house has a
My ideal home. In our century most of the people live in block of flats, so farms and homesteads are mostly summer cottages. Right now I live in apartment too, but in future I would love to move in some private house. My perfect home should be located near a big city, because then i can easily find a job and go to the university. That house should be surrounded with garden and should have very big windows which make the house bigger and brighter. The house has two floors and garage. On the first floor there are livingroom, kitchen with dining room , bathroom and toilet. In living room there are 2 big comfortable sofas and glass TV table. The walls are beige and furniture is gray and brown.
and my own little lake. There, I will breed fish and I’m going to catch it with my son in summer and play hockey in winter. Behind the house, there will be little garden where we will grow vegetables in order eat fresh and healthy food. Also I want to build a gazebo next to the lake to buy and put there a grill, in order to cook something delicious or to sit around the campfire watch a movie. On the first floor, will be a dining room, a guest room (with the little home cinema), my working room, a WC, a bathroom, and of course I want that there will be fireplace. Upstairs will be the second floor. On the second floor there will be my children rooms, a WC, a bathroom and a big games room with some things like: air hockey, mini football, billiards and so on. In the basement I want to make a pool with a little gym. I think, that I will set a central heating basement. This dream house is part of life of my dream…
taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn't lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices. In most cities in Britain you'll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you'll also find Indonesian, Mexican, Greek... Cynics will say that this is because English have no "cuisine" themselves, but this is not quite the true. Vocabulary: to criticize - tasteless overcooked - ingredient - to invent - sauces - to disguise - spice herb - delicious - disappointing - to lend cuisine
"How about afterwards? What you going to give him for afterwards?" "Well - what would you suggest, Sam?" The man glanced around his shop. "How about a nice big slice of cheesecake? I know he likes that." "Perfect," she said. "He loves it." And when it was all wrapped and she had paid, she put on her brightest smile and said, "Thank you, Sam. Goodnight." "Goodnight, Mrs. Maloney. And thank you." And now, she told herself as she hurried back, all she was doing now, she was returning home to her husband and he was waiting for his supper; and she must cook it good, and make it as tasty as possible because the poor man was tired; and if, when she entered the house, she happened to find anything unusual, or tragic, or terrible, then naturally it would be a shock and she'd become frantic with grief and horror. Mind you, she wasn't expecting to find anything. She was just going home with the vegetables. Mrs. Patrick Maloney going home with the vegetables on Thursday evening to
