This bar charts indicates the information about owning and renting houses <strike>market</strike> in England and Wales in the period of 1918 to 2011.
In general, the percentage of leasing the places had decreased, and living in their own house has increased. The proportion of renting had dropped almost fifty percent in ninety-three years, but there was a slightly increase in 2011. Meanwhile, the numbers of staying in had increased for more than forty percent, but went down a little in 2011.
We can see that the greatest proportion of renting places was over seventy percent in 1918. On the other hand, the percentage of owning the accommodations was the lowest. It was <strike>merely</strike> over twenty percent. It is clear that staying in had reached highest proportion in 2001 almost seventy percent. In 1971, the amount of renting and owning the house were the same, both were fifty percent.
In conclusion, more and more people living in their houses instead of renting out.0 votedJune 6, 20192 - I looked again. It's difficult to really understand without a wider context and it's a very philosophical discussion about complex issues but I think they are talking about the way that one can represent the human psyche respectfully through theatre / movies. Do we all play parts at times? Shakespeare said: "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts" I hope that helps a little!0 votedJune 6, 20190
- Yes exactly right Victoria. To tell off means to firmly (possibly angrily) tell someone that what they are doing or have done is wrong /unacceptable behaviour and as your example suggests it would normally be done by someone in authority over the person they are talking to. Unlike many other phrasal verbs "tell off" dos not have multiple meanings - none that I can think of.0 votedJune 6, 20190
- What's the most difficult thing to learn in English?
What's the most difficult thing you've ever had to learn in English? For me, even as a native speaker and English teacher of many years it would have to be spelling. For some words there really is no logic!
When the English tongue we speak.
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me why it's true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of the verse,
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard is not the same as heard
Cord is different from word.
Cow is cow but low is low
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose, dose,and lose
And think of goose and yet with choose
Think of comb, tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll or home and some.
Since pay is rhymed with say
Why not paid with said I pray?
Think of blood, food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done, but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sound and letters don't agree.
