5 Bea, England
Homes where I live are quite large. In my
street in particular the houses have four
or five bedrooms. They are usually shared
between lots of different house mates. I
personally live with two people I didn't
know before and now one of them is a very
good friend. The houses have kitchens and
separate living rooms and dining rooms and
the best thing about my house is that it has
a large garden.

1 David, Georgia
I So homes in Georgia are very big
– some big ones and so we have
two kind of homes. There are block
of flats - there are many of them
and we also have houses. Houses
usually are in the outside of the
country – in the villages.

4 Katie, Northern Ireland
Where I live in Belfast homes are quite
varied. In inner city Belfast you have very
small red brick terraced houses. Two up
two down houses and they - I think they
date from the 1800s - they sort of typify
whenever you think of the city you think
of red brick terraced houses.
2.57
2 Elena, Russia
In my country we have different homes like
I in England, because in England many
people he in cottages, yes, but in my
country we have very big houses. Many
flats, but no so big, but good, and mostly
Russian families have a cottage - it's not a
cottage, it's maybe a little house in the
countryside where we can grow fruit and
vegetables but we don't live in these
cottages, but what 1 can say more. Maybe
prices - if you buy - if you sell your flat in
Moscow you can buy three houses in Great
Britain.

3 Valeria, Bolivia
1 would say homes in Bolivia are much
more coloured. Here, above all in Oxford,
all the homes looks very similar I would say
but in Bolivia you can find a red house just
besides a yellow house and it is a pretty nice
combination of colours.

square, lots of historical buildings, thermal
baths, a golf course, and tennis courts.

2. Likes: the countryside around the town.

Dislikes: it is a bit quiet and there isn’t much
to do at night. There is no cinema, and there
are not many bars and restaurants.
Paragraph 1: It will be great to see you again.
Paragraph 2: It is called Rajec and it is in the
north of Slovakia, near the Mala Fatra
mountains.
It is not a large town(there are about 7,000
inhabitants) but it is very old and beautiful.
There is also a medieval square… … there are
also thermal baths…
Paragraph 3: The worst thing about Rajec is
that it is a bit quiet and there isn’t much to do
at night. There is no cinema, and there are not
many bars and restaurants. It is wonderful to
go… . There are mountains nearby …
