In the USA, they’re called apartments¹; in the UK they’re called flats. They are a modern² invention³. 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 natural⁴ to live in the sky. The thing I hate⁵ most about apartments are the lifts (Americans say elevator) and the fact⁶ there’s no garden. More and more people are moving into apartments. This creates⁷ problems⁸ with overcrowding. There aren’t enough spaces to park your car, there’s nowhere⁹ to throw your rubbish¹⁰ and you have to wait ages to reach¹¹ your floor. Give me a little house with a little garden any day.
