The illustration below shows two different houses.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The illustrations below show differences between typical houses in Britain and Spanish. There are two immediate notable differences between the buildings. The British house has two storeys whereas the Spanish house only one, and the roof of the Spanish house is considerably lower and therefore at much less of a gradient than that of the British house.
Again related to climate, it can be seen that although both buildings have the same number of windows, the window frames are wider in the Spanish house, allowing for greater ventilation in hot weather. Another difference can be identified in the size of the panes of glass where the windows in the British house have been constructed of smaller panes; the Spanish house has full-size windows with metal bars running vertically on the exterior of the building.
To summarise, both houses have been designed with climate and security in mind, yet their locations have led to different solutions.
