Read the text “Types of houses” and looking at the picture of a British house define what type it is, prove your idea.

There are three basic types of house:

· houses standing on their own (detached houses)

· houses attached to one other house (semi-detached houses)

· houses attached to two other houses, possibly in a row (terraced (GB) or row house (USA) houses).

In Britain 27% of the population lives in terraced houses and 32% in semi-detached houses. In the U.S. in 2000, 61.4% of people lived in detached houses and 5.6% in semi-detached houses, the rest living in row houses or apartments, except for 7% living in mobile homes.

A (Face house) is built in one or more faces; though it occurs most commonly as a fort or playhouse for children, this design sometimes serves as a house for adults.

Archaeologists have a particular interest in house shape: they see the transition over time from round huts to rectangular houses as a significant advance in optimising the use of space, and associate it with the growth of the idea of a personal area.
