An Unusual Place to Live

            Set in the red desert of central Australia is the mining town of Coober Pedy. At first sight, the town looks similar to many other such communities, but Coober Pedy is different. Sixty per cent of its  population of some 4,000 people live underground. There are today about 800 underground houses as well as shops, hotels and even churches in the town and the surrounding hills. Once a site has been chosen, special tunneling machines are brought in to create passages and rooms in the sandstone. Rock pillars are left to support the roof, and doors and windows are cut into the front. Houses are of all shapes and sizes, the largest having twenty rooms, and some even have their own swimming pool.

            Living underground may sound strange but in fact it has a number of advantages. In summer, the temperature outside can reach an astonishing 47⁰C, and in winter the nights can be extremely cold. However, inside the houses it remains a steady 25⁰C all year round. Many people say tat living underground makes them feel very secure. There is no problem with noise from the neighbours and the houses are not affected by the fierce dust storms that regularly sweep through the area. And of course, if your family grows or lots of friends come to stay, you can always dig another room.

Task 1: Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) correct the false information (1 point)

The country is more beautiful than a town and pleasant to live in. Many people think so and go to the country for the summer holidays though they can not live there all the year round. Some have a cottage built in a village so that they can go there whenever they can find the time. English villages are not all alike, but in some ways they are not very different from each other. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for many miles around. surrounding the church is the churchyard, where people are burried. The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are around it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so near some small town that people can go there to buy anything they can’t find in the village shops..
