Accommodation Zones
住宿区
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
寄宿家庭主要位于伦敦交通系统的2区、3区和4区。大多数房东不住在市中心，因为伦敦市中心多是商业区，而非住宅区。3区和4区人口较少，通常提供较大的住宿。在伦敦乘地铁旅行很方便。

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
值得注意的是，很少有英国家庭仍然提供传统的煮熟早餐。你的住宿包括欧式早餐，通常包括果汁麦片、面包、茶或咖啡。英国大陆式早餐通常不含奶酪、水果和冷肉。晚餐通常包括肉或鱼、蔬菜，然后是甜点、水果和咖啡。

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
如果你想邀请朋友来拜访，你必须先征得房东的同意。你无权在家里招待朋友，因为有些家庭认为这侵犯了他们的隐私。
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
私人住宅中的自助膳宿
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
仅提供卧室的基本住宿包括共用厨房和浴室，通常还有一个主客厅。这种住宿方式提供了一种独立的生活方式，更适合长住学生。然而，它不能提供与普通寄宿家庭相同的家庭氛围，可能对那些需要在家练习英语的人没有什么好处。
