Homes Around the World

Everybody needs somewhere to live. People live in lots of different types of houses all around the world. They have all been designed to keep the owner safe and comfortable in different conditions. Let’s take a look at some of them.

BricksLots of houses in Europe and North America are built with bricks. These are very strong and keep the inside of the house nice and warm. These are the houses that we are most used to seeing.

UndergroundIt gets very hot and uncomfortable in Australia. The people who live in a few small towns have an ingenious solution. They have dug their houses underground, because they are much cooler and more comfortable.

CavesThe people of some North African countries also need protection from the heat. Some of them have built amazing hideaways in natural caves. Many of these were dug thousands of years ago and are still being used today. Some have even been turned into hotels!

Stilt HousesIt rains a lot in Southeast Asia. It rains so much that some communities built their houses on wooden stilts. This keeps them dry when the land floods. How clever is that? They also have steeply sloped roofs to allow the rainwater to wash away easily. What do you think would happen if they had flat roofs?

IgloosLots of people think that Inuit people live in igloos. In fact, they mostly live in regular houses. They do use igloos when they go on hunting trip though. These are made of compacted snow and ice which helps to make them very snug places even when it is freezing cold outside.

Hanok

Hanok houses are traditional Korean houses built out of wood. They are colourfully decorated. Traditionally, they were built with a mountain behind them and a stream at the front. They are easily identified by their curved roofs. The wooden floors are sometimes heated in the winter with smoke from a fire.

This is just a small selection of the different types of houses around the world. Can you think of any more?

Questions:

Paragraph 3 1. Where does it get very hot and uncomfortable?

2. Why does building a house underground help keep it cool?

Paragraph 6 3. What type of snow is used for igloos?

4. In the igloo section what does the word snug tell you about them?

Paragraph 7 5. What is in front of a traditional Hanock house?

6. In the Hanock section, which word means that the houses are painted?

Challenge Why do different houses have different designs? Use the conjunction because to explain your answer.

Extra Geography Task:

1. Can you use google maps to find which continent Korea is on?

Can you find the capital city of Korea?

https://www.google.com/maps

2. Use this map to find a country in North Africa:
