T: what can you see in the two pictures? What is the difference between them? (When the Ss describe the pictures, remind the students to think about the differences in the two pictures. The students may have different opinions. Encourage them to think out reasons as many as possible. They may have a discussion.) Suggested answers:

Block of flats Traditional house Modern. Convenient. The rooms are big. Every flat has a toilet and bathroom. Not much contact with their neighbors. People often feel lonely. Flat roof. … Old-style. The rooms are small. Sometimes no toilet or bathroom. Life is much more interesting. Neighbors get on well with each other. People can grow flowers in the yard. The roof is sloping.(why?) …
