Read the comparisons of Russian and American houses and answer. Which house does Lydmila Berman prefer? The architecture of houses in Russia is different than in the U.S. Buildings in modem towns in Russia are usually tall. Here in the USA, they are not tall; even a three story building is not common (except in big cities). All the rooms in Russian apartments have walls and doors. Here some rooms are not separated from each other. For example, in my apartment，the kitchen, dining room, and living room are one big open space. In Russia, the walls are usually covered with wallpaper, which is often beautiful. Here, I have only seen wallpaper in kitchens. Our floors are usually wood. There is no wall-to-wall carpeting. But often we have very rugs on the floor. Houses in villages and some towns in Russia don’t have modem conveniences such as toilets，bathrooms，and cold and hot water inside the house. Toilets are outside the house, and water has to be taken from wells. Houses are big, comfortable, and well equipped, but in Russia they are cozier. 8b. Read again and answer true (T) or false (F). 1.
