Philip Stanley’s House

Philip Stanley is proud of his house. It is not very large, but it is very comfortable and well-planned. Any Englishman likes to live in a two-storey detached house. So does Philip. He prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats, because he doesn’t wish his doing to be overlooked (to overlook – подсматривать, заглядывать) by his neighbours.

In front of the house there is a green lawn and a lot of flowers. Behind it there is an orchard with some fruit trees in it. Mrs Stanley is fond of flowers and trees. She often spends her spare time there. On the north side of the house there is a garage.

On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a pantry, a dining-room, a sitting-room and Philip’s study. On the first floor or upstairs you can find two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The furniture is modern and new. The windows are large. The family like to meet in the sitting-room in front of the fire-place. Philip has to pay a lot of money for the house before he can call it his own.

The Stanleys like their home. They enjoy its quiet pleasures, its comfort, its sweet familiar atmosphere.

There’s No Place Like Home

About 64 % of the British population live in houses or flats that they own or are buying in instalments (покупают в рассрочку). Most other people live in council accomodation, about 10 % rent from private landlords. People buying their property almost always pay for it with a special loan called a mortgage, which they must repay, with interest (с процентами), over a long period of time, usually 25 years.

There are three main types of houses in Britain:

terraced – several houses, usually two-storey, joined together in a row or terrace;

semi-detached – a pair of houses joined together;

detached – a single house, completely separate from any other.

This house is over 600 years old.

A big problem in England is the rising cost of houses.




The lives of most Americans revolve around their homes and houses. The percentage of Americans owning the houses (and apartments) they live in is the highest among western nations. Most Americans still live in “single-family dwellings,” that is, houses which usually have a front and backyard. Contrary to a common belief, only about 5 percent of all Americans live in mobile homes. Most of America has a more or less four-season climate, and the rhythms of life around the house tend to follow the seasons. There is always something that needs to be done around the house, and most Americans do it themselves.

Text 1
My Home Town

I was born in Penza. It is one of the oldest and most beautiful Russian towns. It was founded in 1663 as a fort on the south-eastern border of the state. The place was well-chosen from the strategic point of view: from the north it was reliably defended by Cherkassky fort, in the south there were plenty of saucer-like lakes (now it is called Yuzhnaya Polyana), from the west it was defended by dense forests.




Penza is situated on the Sura river. The word “sur” means “ finger”. Long ago before it became a castle-town this “finger” showed the ancient people a place to settle down.

Penza has a rich history. It is connected with the life and activity of quite a number famous people: M. Lermontov, A. Kuprin, N. Burdenko, V. Belinsky, P. Yablochkov, S. Razin, Y. Pugachov and others. M. Lermontov… His grandmother’s country estate, nowadays, is the state museum Tarkhany, one of the greatest memorial parks in our country, a peculiar cultural corner, which links the previous centuries with the present day.




Now Penza is a big cultural and industrial centre. Its population is over 600 000 people. There are several big plants which produce chemical equipment, electronic equipment, diesel engines, compressors, bicycles, clocks and watches, paper, medicines and other necessary things.

Agriculture in Penza region is on the upsurge now. Our farmers introduce new techniques and machinery, develop high-yielding and disease-resisting varieties, breed highly-productive breeds of farm animals in order to make our farming as profitable as possible.

In Penza there are many educational establishments. The most important institutions of higher education are: Penza Technical University, Penza State Pedagogical University, Penza State Civil Engineering University and Penza State Agricultural Academy.

Whatever the season, Penza is always beautiful. Large squares, green streets, beautiful parks, Fountain square, a spacious zoo – everything attracts visitors’ attention. You can see a great variety of picturesque houses – from old-fashioned buildings of the 19th century to modern constructions of original architecture.

Visitors often go to the circus, to the Drama Theatre, to museums. People are proud of their city and try to make it cleaner and healthier.

Exercise 1. Read and translate the text.

Exercise 2. Answer the questions:

a) What sights of Penza are mentioned in the text? Have you seen all of them?

b) Is there anything you can add?

Exercise 3. Find English equivalents for the following words and word combinations:

родной, родился, юго-восточная граница, палец, древний народ, население, поместье, предприятия, оборудование, лекарства, продукция, на подъёме, высокоурожайные, стойкие к болезням, породы, не зависимо от сезона, живописный.


Exercise 4. Arrange the information of the text and complete the table.


Exercise 5. Work as a guide and show your friend round your city.

Use the following expressions: – I’ d like to welcome you to …

– Let me start with the history.

– You can see …

– It is dedicated to … ( Он посвящен…)
