The United States of America is a young country but it has an interesting history. You can see some of its history in the styles of their houses. Nearly four hundred years ago, when people from Europe came to America, they lived in very simple huts. But later, they built houses in the styles of their home countries. A lot of New Americans were English. So the first towns of such states as Virginia and New England copied English towns. Nowadays nearly all Americans live in towns or cities. Many of them have houses with garages for one or two cars. There is usually a big modern kitchen in a house, a living room, a playroom for children. Upstairs there are two bathrooms and three or four bedrooms. Young Johnny sleeps in one room, his sister has a room too. Their parents sleep in the third room. And there is often a room for visitors.
