Houses  have  changed  in    many  /  a  lot  of  /  much  ways  over  the  past  50  years.  People  used  to  
socialize  in  the  living  room,  eat  in  the  dining  room,  and  cook  in  the  kitchen.  Now,  people  have    2
3 much
few  /  little  /  a  little  interest  in  a  separate  room  for  eating.  They  want    plenty  of  /  many  /  too  
4
space  to  socialize,  so  they  often  combine  the  kitchen  and  living  room.  There  also  needs  to  be    too  
many  /  too  /  enough  bathrooms  for  everyone  –  rather  than  just  one,  as  in  the  past.  One  house

many  /  too  busy  to  wait  for  other  people  to  take  a  shower!”  But  what  about  outside?  Has  there

been    much  /  many  /  a  lot  of  change  here?  Again,  some  people  say  they  have    none  /  not  many  /

10  
little  plants  in  containers.  Or  they  use  their  front  yards  to  park  their  cars.  In  some  cities,  there  
aren’t  any  /  are  no  /  are  none  front  yards  left  any  more.
