Living condition of American people dapend much on the amount of money they have. Many wealthy people have very large house with many rooms, tennis courts and swimming pools.

In the centre of big American cities many people live in the apartments (flats) situated in large apartment buildings. They usually rent apartments which are owned by big companies or private owners. The majority of Americans live in individual, sigle-family houses with a front and back gardens. The houses are well furnished and equipped with modern house-hold appliances. There is usually one or more phones amd TV sets, stereo and video systems, microwave and fidge-freezer in every house. Each child of the family has his / her oen room. It is common for an average American family to have more than one car. Young members of the family may have their own car as well.

The American home is a busy and lively place. There is a lot of work around the house throughout the whole year and the people like to do the work by themselves. The Americans usually do not stay in the same house their whole lives. Some families like to move to other parts of the country and change houses more than once in a decade. The moving to other places is never a big change for a family as the standard of living is much the same throught the USA.
