1. House ownership
Most people have an ambition to own their own house on a little piece of property, and very large numbers of them have achieved that ambition. Indeed, among western countries, America ranks first in terms of the percentage of people who own the houses (and apartments) they live in. Houses are not excessively expensive in relation to their space and comfort, and prices look quite reasonable in relation to the average income Americans make. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of all families in the United States are homeowners, though many of them may have borrowed money (mortgages) on the security of their houses and their jobs to pay for them.
Single-family dwellings
USA
What are Americans’ major home activities?
One of the first activities at home is to make and mend things, like doing carpentry work in the basement to make or repair a piece of furniture. Then, there is endless work in the garden or backyard, where most families plant flowers and vegetables. In many American families, children are expected to help around the house. They are assigned “chores” which may include, for instance, vacuuming the rugs, washing and waxing floors, cleaning windows, mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, shoveling snow, running errands, keeping the car(s) clean, looking after the pets, taking the garbage out,

Different Names for Britain
• Why is England or the UK sometimes called Britain? 'When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles - but never England.' "England" is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain (or simply Britain), or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK.
