Корoткий опис:  Fireplaces
In English homes, the fireplace has
always been, until recent times, the
focal point in the room.

People may like to sit at a window
on a summer day, but for many cold
months of the year they like to sit
round the fire and watch the dancing
flames.
In the Middle Ages the fireplaces in
the halls of large castles were very
wide.
Only wood was burnt, and it was
brought from the forests.
Such wide fireplaces may be seen
now in old inns.
Elizabethian fireplaces often had
carved stone or woodwork over the
fireplace.

Корoткий опис:  Gardening
The most popular hobby of the British
is gardening.
Most English people love gardens,
their own above all, and this is probably
one reason why so many people prefer
to live in houses rather than flats.
In the suburbs you can see row after
row of ordinary small houses.


And each house is surrounded by lots
of flowers.
Many people who have no gardens of
their own have patches of land.
They spend much leisure time
working among their flowers, trees
and vegetables.
