Hello, everybody!
Look what I'm reading
The three little pigs! Do you know the story?
It's about three pigs who build three houses from different materials
to hide from the big bad wolf
The first two little pigs are a bit lazy and they build their houses
from light materials, because they don't want to work very hard
But the big bad wolf comes and blows down their houses
But the third little pig works really hard to build his house from bricks and mortar
and the big bad wolf can't blow it down!
Maybe that's why we build strong houses from bricks and mortar
instead of straw and sticks
The materials you use to build your house depend on the region you live in
Native Americans use the skin of the wild animals they hunted, as the wolfs,
for their teepee
The inuit people live surrounded by ice, so they use that for their igloos
and some tribes who live in the jungle even use palm leaves for walls
or even beds in their house
Hey, do you like building model houses?
Me too
Look at this model house I built using plastic bricks
But normally real life houses are made from different materials like
When you think about building your model house you have to decide what type
of house you want to build
It can be a flat, an apartment, a cabin, a country house or even a villa,
a palace or a castle
In cities we build flats and apartments, because there's not so much space
and it's more expensive
But in the woods, where there's a lot of space, we can build a big contry house
Houses can be big or small, but they all have the same parts, the same rooms
There's the bedroom, where you sleep; the kitchen, where you prepare your meals
and cook your food; there's a bathroom, where you take a shower and the dining room
or sitting room, where you can play or watch tv
When you build your model house, you can build it with a garden,
with a swimming pool, a huge entrance hall,
a big library or a garage for ten luxury cars
So now we know there are different materials we can use to build a house:
bricks, mortar, cement, steel, even leather or ice
So there are different kinds of houses, from small flats and apartments, cabins
to villas and castles
and also we know now that all houses have the same parts: a bedroom, a kitchen,
a bathroom and a sitting room
and there are big houses that have gardens, swimming pools, garages and libraries
Now it's your turn to build your model house
I've build mine, it's a castle next to the beach
What would the house of your dreams look like?
See you next time! Bye!
