You are going to watch
House Invaders
, the popular show on BBC one
where Linda Barker with her ‘hunky helpers’ shows how she can transform a home
without spending any of your hand-earned cash. If she’s provided with the basics like
paint, timber and fabric, she can recycle the home of Michael and Jane Mansfield in
Warwickshire in just one day.
Michael and Jane Mansfield are perfectly happy with the interior of their house but the
kids, 10 year old James and 13 year old Hannah, aren’t, so they asked the House In-
vaders for help.
Watch the sequence and answer the questions:
a Whose room was transformed?
b Who made the colour choices?
c What changes were made?
d At the end of the day of “invasion” what did the family really think?
e Do you think it is possible to successfully incorporate new bright colours
and similar things/ideas in old houses?
f Can you think of any TV program in your country like House Invaders?
What are the differences/similarities?

Choose one of the topics below and write a composition of about 150-200 words.
Before you start writing, discuss the questions with another student.
Topic 1
How do you explain the popularity of different types of dwelling in Brit-
ain? Are the same types popular in your country?
Topic 2 Even in a small town in Britain, several offices and shops will be occu-
pied by companies called ‘estate agents’, whose only role is to help peo-
ple buy and sell their houses. In the same town, however, there may be
no house construction companies at all to which people could go. Why
do you think this is? Is the same true in your country?
