What makes your house a home?
In English, the words ‘house’ and ‘home’ do not have the same meaning. In towns and
cities, a modern house is a building with four walls and a roof above it, often on a street
with many other houses. (21)__________ People can dine in the kitchen, sleep in the
bedrooms, take a shower in the bathroom, and relax in the living room.
(22)__________ For example, my favourite room is my bedroom. It has all my things in
it so it’s not very spacious, but I really love it. My mum loves reading in the charming
living room. Tom, the cat, lies under her feet by the hot fireplace. And my dad can cook
pretty well so he’s usually in the kitchen.
(23)__________ Of course, I miss all my music, my games, and my books, but I also
miss family routines. Our house is rather noisy in the mornings before work or school.
Then, when I get back in the evening, Tom jumps on me with his dirty cat feet, and there
is the fantastic smell of the food in the kitchen.
So, home is the people and animals who live in a house, and the objects in the rooms that
are special to us. It’s the activities we do, our feelings, and the familiar surroundings.
Home is also the community we are part of. Every summer, there’s a big party in our
street. When new people move in, they have a housewarming party with all the
neighbours. (24)__________
