Answer 1

England has many types of homes. In the large cities, people often live in apartments, which are called flats. In most towns, there are streets of houses joined together in long rows. They are called terraced houses.

Detached: it is a house which is not joined to another house

Semi-detached: it is a house which is joined to another house on one side; or two houses joined together

Terraced: it is a house which is part of a line of houses. It is a house which is joined to other houses on two sides; several houses joined together

Flats: they are part of a bigger building where all the flats share a front door; they are called “apartments” in American English

Bungalow: it is a house which is only on one floor, no stairs. It may be joined to another bungalow or might stand alone
