Homes in britain

In this unit I learned many things about the houses in britain, for example these:

The people in Britain, can live in houses or flats, in towns or the countryside... The 90% of the population live in towns.
There are lots of different kinds of houses:
-Terraced houses
-Semi-detached houses
-Detached houses
-Flats
Houses in different parts of Britain can look very different. There are lots of regional variations because the builders use local materials. There are also differences in age. Some houses are very modern and some are hundreds of years old.
A famous traditional saying is "An Englishman's home is his castle. British people spend a lot of time and money on their homes and gardens. This is called DIY (Do it yourself)
