HOUSES

There are many 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 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 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!

Hi Marco,

We are moving to our new flat on Saturday. The flat has only two bedrooms, and it has a small garden at the back. It’s good for me because it’s near my school and the city centre.

When you come in the front door, there’s a long hall with a bathroom at the other end. The door on the right goes into the kitchen with the dining room behind it. The next room is the living room. It’s a comfortable, sunny room and from there you can walk straight out into the garden.

After that there’s my parents’ bedroom, and finally you come to my bedroom. It’s next to the bathroom. I’m writing this email on my computer at my desk under the window. All my furniture is in my room now and it looks good.

Love

Alice
