Reading
1 Read the text. Choose the correct answer to the questions.

More and more people would like to escape from the crowded, traffic-filled streets of London, but they still
have to work there. One option is to live in the suburbs and spend hours each day on buses, trains or in the
car. However, some lucky people have found the perfect home in a beautiful, quiet part of central London: a
houseboat on the Regent’s Canal in Little Venice.
A houseboat can cost as much as a million pounds, but most boats are much cheaper. A basic boat is also
much cheaper than a house in London. It costs about the same as a cheap, one-bedroom flat – and is much
nicer. It is also easier to buy a houseboat than a house, and there is less paperwork. Of course, you’ll have
to make sure the boat is in good condition. Not all of them are. You’ll then live in a much nicer area of the
city with helpful, friendly neighbours.
The biggest disadvantage is finding somewhere to ‘moor’ or park your boat. One of the most popular places
in London is Little Venice, which only has sixty places and hundreds of people on a waiting list. A place to
moor can sometimes cost as much as the boat itself. That can cause problems. Banks will lend you 80
percent of the cost of a boat, but this may only be 40 percent of the total cost. You also have to pay
thousands of pounds each year to keep your place and you will have to have the boat checked every five
years.
So who owns houseboats? Some owners are rich, but most people who live on houseboats are middle-aged
boat lovers, almost all of them men. Often they have had to sell their homes because of a divorce. They
aren’t rich but they can do most repairs themselves.

1 The aim of the text is to discuss:
a the good and bad points of owning houseboats.
b reasons not to buy a houseboat
c ways to buy a houseboat
2 Which of these is not a reason for living in a houseboat?
a London is noisy and crowded.
b Travelling from the suburbs takes a long time.
c It is difficult to find work outside London.
3 Which of these statements is true?
a Basic houseboats are cheaper than houses
b One-bedroom flats in London are not pleasant.
c Only millionaires can afford houseboats.
4 Which of these is not always true about houseboats?
a The neighbours are helpful. b The location is nice.
c They are in better condition.
5 How much can a place for a houseboat cost?
a More than the boat. b About the same as the boat.
c About 80 percent of the cost of the boat.
6 Which of these is not a problem if you buy a houseboat?
a Banks will lend you 80 percent of the cost.
b You pay for the houseboat and a place to moor it.
c The boat must be checked regularly.
7 Men who own houseboats are often
a married. b young. c good at repairing things.
