Where do people live in Britain? Do they live in houses or flats? Do they live in towns or the countryside? Well, 90 per cent of the population live in towns. There are lots of different kinds of houses. This is the kind of house you find in British towns. Terraced houses are joined together-Sometimes in a long row, but some terraces have only got a few houses. These are
semi-detached houses-just two houses joined together. There are as many semi-detached
houses in Britain as terraced houses. Sixty per cent of the population live in terraced or semi-detached houses. These are detached houses-there aren't any other houses joined on to them. Some detached houses are very large, but others can be quite small. Lots of people live
in flats, especially in big towns and cities. Houses in different parts of Britain can look very different. There are lots of regional variations, because builders use local materials. There are also differences in age. Some houses are very modern and some are hundreds of years old. These are traditional thatched cottages. Thatch is made from reeds and is used for the roof. Cottage is the name for a small house in the country. The famous traditional saying is \home is his castle.\is called DIY, which means do-it-yourself. There are large DIY stores and garden centers near every town. British people are always trying to make their home into a castle.

A woman who spent nine months living in her car has had a book accepted by major publisher HarperCollins. The book, an autobiography, is due to be published next spring.
The woman, Anya Peters, first came to the attention of the public through a bolg in which she kept a diary of her experience of homelessness. Peters, a law graduate in her early 30s, became homeless after a series of difficult events. Unable to pay the rent, she started living in her car, spending time in institutions such as libraries and hospitals during the day and sleeping in her car at night. Unusually, she did not seek help from charities or hospitals for the homeless. However, her online diary of her experiences, written at public libraries, soon found readers and came to the attention of one of the largest literary agencies. She was encouraged to turn her experiences and blog into a book, which immediately found a publisher. The advance from the book has enabled Peter to move out of her car into rented accommodation.
Anya Peters' story has drawn attention to the problems of homeless people in Britain. There are now more than 100,000 families living in temporary accommodation such as
hostels. The government recently announced plans to halve the number of these families in the
next four years.
These figures do not include rough sleepers, people who for various reasons such as domestic violence, family breakdown or unemployment have no money and nowhere to go so find themselves sleeping on the streets. Last year the number of people sleeping rough in England counted on anyone night was 483, with the highest numbers in London. It is estimated that the number of rough sleepers has fallen by nearly three-quarters in the last ten years.
While there is a constant movement of people onto the streets, most are helped off the streets into some form of accommodation. Charities play a particularly important part in finding accommodation for rough sleepers, the majority of whom are male, with UK nationality, and aged between 26 and 45. Approximately 40-50 per cent have or have had drug or alcohol problems and about the same percentage have been in prison. These figures do not include the \family or friends.

Presenter: In Britain, as in many other western countries, in the last ten years there's been a big
rise in the so-called \boomerang\ in their 20s living with their parents. There are good reasons for this-jobs are much harder to find these days, students have increased education fees to pay back and rents are
sky-high. But another big change is that the estimated seven million British \kidults\, as they've been dubbed, don't seem to mind moving back with their parents after flat sharing or university. They get on well with them, mum dose the cooking, puts the clothes in the machine. It's all quite pleasant and easy! We talked to two young adults who've been in this situation.
Man: I'm 28. I went to university at 18 and only came back for the holidays. But I wanted to be a
scriptwriter so after I got my degree, I moved in with my parents and worked part-time at
a cinema. It was great, it gave me a lot more time to write than if I had a full-time job and I have to admit, I didn't mind living at home. My mum cooked, I saw my friends, it was fine. And it paid off, because TV director saw one of my scripts and gave me scriptwriting work. So I was able to move out-I was, um, something like 25, and got a flat with my girlfriend. It wasn't much fun-we needed our own place. Fortunately, I got more work-and we moved out again, maybe six months ago. I'm hoping I don't have to go back home again.
Woman: I didn't leave home till I was 25-I just couldn't afford it. I left school at 16, got a job
working in a supermarket. The pay was terrible so I had no choice, I had to live at home. My parents and I argued a bit-I was a teenager and all that-but basically it was cool, I helped with the housework, that kind of stuff. Then when I was 18, I got a job in a department store and they said they'd train me up to be a manager-so that was kind of hopeful. But the pay was low so I stayed at home, and paid my parents a bit of rent, which they were glad of. Then when I was 26 they made me a department manager and the pay was much better, and I was able to move out and share a flat. And now I'm
saving for a mortgage. I'm also ready to move on and live in my own place.
