HAS YOUR HOUSE ...

got brick walls, glass windows, a roof and a front door? Read about these houses. They haven't!

1)Aslak lives in the north of Canada. Sometimes he lives in a normal north Canadian house. But he is a hunter, and he often goes on long hunting trips. Then he makes an igloo out of the snow and ice. He makes the walls out of snow and the windows out of ice. It doesn't have a front door - it has a tunnel instead.

2)Coober Pedy in South Australia is very hot. Sometimes the temperature there is over 50 degrees Celsius. That's where Janet lives. Can you see her house? No? That's because she lives underground. Under the ground it isn't so hot. She has a living-room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom but no windows, no roof and the walls are rock!

3)Now look at Hashim's house. He lives in Malaysia. His house is above the ground not on it. And look carefully. It's got windows but there isn't any glass in them. Malaysia is a very hot country and Malaysians like the air to blow through their houses.
