Cook carriages make good housing for the homeless. That's the idea behind the pop up house project, a project to turn rows of disused garages in London into temporary accommodation for homeless people. It would allow a small home to be created with a bedroom and shower room. And then every fifth carriage in the line would be used to shared laundry, kitchen and eating facilities. The homes would be put together by the people who will live in them in the future with the idea of teaching them building skills as well as giving them a home. IT's hoped that because they will have their own space, their own front door, they'll be more likely to get back into society more quickly than by putting them into shared accommodation. We know people don't do well in that environment and it will give them the education they need to get back into work.

* Click on the correct answer

A new project will look at the problems of housing in London. Because housing is too expensive in the city, people have had to move into garages. Researchers hope their new project will solve this problem by getting people into better homes and also back in work. A new project intends to use garages to provide housing for the homeless in London. Although small, there will be areas outside the home to prepare food and clean clothes. The houses will provide both accommodation and training for the people living there. A recent project will aim to give homeless people education and training in building houses and garages for key workers in the most expensive neighbourhoods of London. The houses will help people get to work more quickly because of their central location. A recent project will aim to put homeless people into their own homes. They will each have their own bedroom, shower room, kitchen and garage and will need to build the homes themselves. Having your own space is generally better than sharing a larger home with others.

Option 2: "A new project intends to use garages to provide housing for the homeless in London. Although small, there will be areas outside the home to prepare food and clean clothes. The houses will provide both accommodation and training for the people living there."

Explanation: This option accurately summarizes the text by highlighting the use of garages for housing the homeless and mentioning the shared facilities for cooking and laundry. It also captures the educational aspect of the project, which aims to teach building skills to the residents, aligning perfectly with the main idea presented in the text.

Option 1: "A new project will look at the problems of housing in London. Because housing is too expensive in the city, people have had to move into garages. Researchers hope their new project will solve this problem by getting people into better homes and also back in work."

Explanation: This option misrepresents the main idea of the text. The text focuses specifically on using disused garages for temporary accommodation for the homeless, rather than addressing the broader issue of expensive housing in London. Additionally, it inaccurately suggests that people have moved into garages due to high housing costs, which is not stated in the text.

Option 3: "A recent project will aim to give homeless people education and training in building houses and garages for key workers in the most expensive neighbourhoods of London. The houses will help people get to work more quickly because of their central location."

Explanation: This option incorrectly states that the project is focused on building houses for key workers, which is not mentioned in the text. The text specifically discusses creating homes for the homeless using garages, not for key workers. Furthermore, the emphasis on central location is not supported by the text.

Option 4: "A recent project will aim to put homeless people into their own homes. They will each have their own bedroom, shower room, kitchen and garage and will need to build the homes themselves. Having your own space is generally better than sharing a larger home with others."

Explanation: This option inaccurately describes the project by suggesting that each home will have a garage and that residents will build their own homes entirely. The text specifies that the homes will include a bedroom and shower room, but shared facilities will be provided for laundry and cooking. It also emphasizes the importance of having their own space rather than sharing, but does not mention garages as part of each home.
