HOUSES
There are houses all over the world. Some houses are large. Some are
small. Some are made of wood. Some are made of rock. People usually
build their houses with something that is easy to find. For example, there
are many trees in a forest. So people who live there might build a house made of logs.
Some houses have one room. Some houses have many rooms. There is usually a bedroom for sleeping, a kitchen for cooking, a living room for sitting and talking. There is usually a bathroom. Some houses have attics. The attic is above the main part of the house. Most houses have a door so people can enter and exit the house. Most houses have windows so the people can look outside.
Houses look very different in different parts of the world. But, people who live in a house probably all agree that there is no place like home!
