There are usually both parents and two children in a typical British family. In most British families both parents work. Very young children go to nursery schools or stay at home with a childminder. Old people usually live in their own homes or a nursing home if they cannot look after themselves. British parents try to spend their free time with their children going to the cinema, museums or parks. During the week they usually have dinner together.

Americans often move house from city to city or from state to state. For this reason American families live far away from their relatives. However, they keep in touch with each other by telephone or letter. During the holidays or at celebrations like Thanksgiving, families often visit each other.

A typical American family is the same as a British family. Both parents work. Like British families, parents try to spend time with their children at weekends. They often visit museums. They also go to the cinema or to the park.

There are many different kinds of houses in the UK. In the countryside you can see small, pretty cottages, and in the towns and cities you can see large blocks of flats. In cities, towns, and villages there are detached or semi-detached houses and terraced houses.

More than half of the people in the UK own their houses. Other people rent houses or flats. British people like to feel comfortable and safe in their homes. They like to make their homes and gardens look attractive. Perhaps that's why gardening and DIY (Do-lt-Yourself) are the two most popular pastimes.

The buildings in American cities are similar to those in British cities. There are tall tower blocks, skyscrapers, terraced houses and large brick buildings. In the suburbs, however, the houses are very different. A lot of Americans live in wooden houses with front and back gardens. Two thirds of Americans own their houses. Other Americans rent houses, apartments or rooms. Americans are usually very houseproud and take good care of their homes.
