What are Houses?

A house is like your very own special place where you live with your family. It's a cozy space that keeps you safe and comfortable. Imagine it as a big, sturdy box with walls, a roof, and a door. Inside, there are different rooms where you sleep, eat, play, and do lots of fun things with your family. 

Types of Houses

People around the world live in different types of houses. 

1. City Houses

In big cities, houses are often tall buildings called apartments. Many families live in one building, and each family has its own apartment. These buildings can go very high into the sky!

In the suburbs, which are areas near cities, houses are often smaller and have gardens. These houses are not as tall as city buildings, and each family has its own separate house.
