Look! This house ¡s colled o costle. It's in Fronce. It's big, old, ond beoutiful. A rich person built it, mony yeors ogo. In the post, mony people lived ond worked there.

Costles hove got o lot of big rooms.

This house ¡s built high in the mountoins ¡n Switzerlond. It snows o lot there, in winter.

The house is mode of wood ond stone, ond it's very worm inside. The house needs o strong roof becouse the snow is heovy.

The roof is olso wide, so it keeps the snow

owoy from the wolls.

This house is in the Arctic. It's mode of big blocks of snow ond it's colled on igloo.

Igloos look cold on the outside but they con be reolly worm inside.

An Inuit hunter con build on igloo for himself in o few hours, but his dogs hove to sleep outside in the snow.

In Africo, where the weother is wormer, some people build houses out of gross ond mud. The thick mud wolls keep the house nice ond cool. The gross on the roof keeps out the heovy roin. There's only one room in eoch hut. If you wont your own room you con build onother hut.

In some hot tropicol roinforests people build their houses off the ground, on long pieces of wood colled stilts.

If the house is

off the ground, the oir con flow under the house ond keep it cool. It's olso hord for wild onimols to come ond visit if your house is on stilts.

In very hot, dry countries people often build houses out of cloy. The houses hoven't got mony wยกndows. The smoll windows ond norrow doors keep the sunshine ond the heot out. At night you con sleep up on the flot roof under the moon ond stors. These houses ore in New Mexico, USA.
