What is your home like? Are the walls made of brick, or wood, or concrete? Are the windows large or small? Does it have a wood shingle roof or a tile roof?
Today, most houses are made of wood, brick, and glass. The kind of materials used depends on the size of the house, its design, and the climate.
Many houses use a lot of wood. Wood is used to make the frame of the house and the frames between the walls. Sheets of wood are used for the floors and roof.
The roof is covered with tar paper and then tiled. In warm climates, ceramic tiles are used to keep the house cool.
In snowy climates, the roof slopes to let the heavy snow slide off.
On the outside, many homes use aluminium or vinyl walls because it doesn’t need to be painted. They can withstand cold, hot, and windy weather. Bricks also make very sturdy walls and are usually easy to get. Bricks come in many colours, too.
Large glass windows let in lots of sunshine.
Gutters are made of aluminium or plastic. They keep the water running off the roof from leaking into the house.
