the house that you

House
A house is structure where
the family members live
together. It serves as a
protection from wind, rain,
and heat. A house is called a
home when it provides
happiness and comfort for
the family or the people who
are inside the house.
A house has parts where
the family can do
different activities such
as taking a bath, eating,
sleeping, cooking, and
entertaining visitors.
Here are some of them:
1. Living Room is probably where most
the activities at home
are done.
It is where the family
come together to relax
or watch television
programs.
It is also the space
where friends,
neighbors, and guests

house because of many
activities such as preparing of

 PARTS OF THE HOUSE
Some houses have additional rooms or areas for the other activities of the family.
1. Laundry Area
the place where clothes
are washed

the kitchen or bathroom
a built-in wash tub at a
convenient height is ideal
to set up in the laundry to
squat or to stoop.
2. Storage Room

that are not in use are
kept such as old
furniture, cleaning
materials, and stocks
of food supplies.
3. Porch

balcony
a porch without a roof built as an
extension of the living room is
called terrace
usually, it is surrounded by a
beautiful yard or garden

and other recreational activities
can be done here.
4. Garage
the part of the
house used for
parking the
vehicle/s of the
family.
 The Home
Surroundings
the space that surrounds the
house is called yard
the whole yard should be fenced t
o keep out stray animals of fowls
a stretch green lawn with
flowering plants along border
would be very attractive for a
wide yard specially in the front
yard
The backyard serves many
purposes.
clothesline may be
placed there for dying
laundered clothes
it may also be used as a
vegetable garden or
maybe planted with fruit-
bearing trees to provide
shade to the house
Similar to the parts inside a house, it is also important
that the surroundings around the house are alsways kept
clean.
Twigs and dry leaves in the yard should be swept daily,
because an attractive and clean
yard adds much to the
appearance of the
house and it also
reflects the
personality of the
occupants.
