1. BACK HOME
Josh and his wife Helen stood silently at the front door as the men
came and went, carrying their belongings with them. They’d only
been there a few months and already they had to move on. Their
agreement with the landlord was that they would be given three
month’s notice before they had to leave. Although it was only two
weeks since they’d been informed that the landlord was
terminating the agreement, they couldn’t afford the legal fees to
fight for their rights in court, even if they had known that such
rights existed. They had lost the will to fight back many years
before when the house they had been buying was repossessed.
Josh had been made redundant at work and the house they had
been buying was repossessed because the bank hadn’t given them
time to rearrange their finances. Since then, they had been at the
mercy of private landlords, paying deposits they would never get
back and putting up with damp walls, high rents and constant
uncertainty.
Josh called his two children and they all climbed into the waiting
removal’s van. They didn’t own a car. ‘Where to?’ asked the
driver who, despite his unfriendly tone of voice, had at least felt
sorry enough to offer them a lift. Josh directed him to his parents’
house, a small, two bedroom terraced house which they would
have to call home until their circumstances changed. At least there
was a garage where they could store their belongings
The children didn’t mind. Gran and Grandpa had a garden and a
bathroom with reliable supplies of hot water. The beds were
warm, unlike their beds before, even if they did have to share a
room with their parents. Best of all, there was a television.
That evening, Josh and his father argued. Josh’s father still
couldn’t understand how they had lost their house and he had no
idea why they couldn’t at least find a council house to rent. Josh
tried to explain once again but they were interrupted by raised
voices coming from the kitchen. The two men forgot their
differences and smiled at each other. “That didn’t take long” said
Josh’s father, “last time you stayed here the arguments didn’t
start until at least the second morning.” Josh sighed. He knew
what the problem was. Why couldn’t his wife let her mother-in-
law serve up something tasty and unhealthy for supper, just this
once. She could go shopping for vegetables and brown bread in
the morning.

2.
THE HOUSING CRISIS
Before the Second World War, many people in Britain were forced
to live in dirty, cramped accommodation, often without
bathrooms. The bathtub was in the kitchen and the toilet in a hut
in the garden. After the war, with millions of homes destroyed, the
government began a council house building programme which
gave poor people good quality housing. What’s more, rents were
cheap and the tenants had the security of knowing that the house
was theirs for life.
Then, in the 1980’s the government allowed the tenants to buy
their council homes. This was a popular idea as the houses were
sold cheaply. However, no new council homes were built and
so there were too few available for the next generation’s needs.
Those who were unable to find one were left at the mercy of
private landlords. For them, rents are higher, security is almost
non-
-existent and standards are lower with many landlords unwilling
to repair or replace things that are faulty. Local councils aren’t
perfect but at least they employ builders, plumbers and
electricians. In addition, renters need to find a month’s rent in
advance and, often, an additional deposit in case of damage.
What many people find most ridiculous is that this government
policy costs money. Many people who rent are unemployed or
earning very low incomes and they receive housing benefit from
the government. This is not only higher than it used to be,
because rents are higher, but now goes to the pockets of private
landlords rather than back to local councils to help them improve
and increase their housing stock.
4 Which of these is not a benefit of council housing?
A It makes it easier for people to buy their own house.
B People don’t have to worry about having to leave
their homes at short notice.
C It is cheaper for the government than privately rented
accommodation.
D It is more likely that tenants will be able to get faults
repaired.
5 The two writers share the same opinions
about A the high price of houses.
B the problems of finding somewhere to live.
C the difficulty in getting a loan to buy a house.
D the problems of privately rented accommodation.
