Suburban House

Many families in London live in flats but most people like to live in their own houses in suburbs. A suburban house consists of only two floors: the ground floor and the first floor.

On the ground floor there is a dining-room, a sitting room, a kitchen and a hall. In the hall there is a stand for hats, coats and umbrellas.

On the first floor there are usually four bedrooms, a bathroom and a lavatory.

The fireplace warms the house. In front of the house there is a small garden in which roses, tulips and many flowers are grown. At the back of the house there is a large garden with a lawn and some fruit trees. At the side of the house there is a garage.

The English people usually say «My house is my castle».
