In the USA, they’re called apartments 1; in the UK they’re called flats. They are a modern 2 invention 3. I don’t particularly like them. I don’t think it’s good for so many people to live so close together. It’s not good for people to live on top of each other. I don’t understand how people can live above the second floor. It’s not natural 4 to live in the sky. The thing I hate 5 most about apartments are the lifts (Americans say elevator) and the fact 6 there’s no garden. More and more people are moving into apartments. This creates 7 problems 8 with overcrowding. There aren’t enough spaces to park your car, there’s nowhere 9 to throw your rubbish 10 and you have to wait ages to reach 11 your floor. Give me a little house with a little garden any day.
