1. Where can you see impressive roof architecture?
   In China, especially in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. (В Китае, особенно в Запретном городе и Летнем дворце.)
2. Where can you stay in accommodation typical of the place?
   In Amsterdam, in one of its tall, narrow houses. (В Амстердаме, в одном из его высоких узких домов.)
3. Why are pagodas so strong and long-lasting?
   They have many roofs that stop rainwater from running down the walls and into the foundations, preventing the structures from becoming unstable. (У них много крыш, которые не дают дождевой воде стекать по стенам к фундаменту, поэтому здания не становятся неустойчивыми.)
4. Why were Dutch houses built with gabled roofs?
   The gables had hooks that were used to pull goods up because the staircases inside the houses were very narrow. (На фронтонах были крюки, с помощью которых поднимали товары, потому что лестницы внутри домов были очень узкими.)
