Home sweet home

Three teenagers tell us about
their amazing homes.
This is my home on a river in England. What is
it? It’s a houseboat! It is very small but there is a
kitchen, a living room and two bedrooms. There
is a TV and a computer, too. It’s great!
2
My family’s wooden house is in
the countryside in Poland. It’s in
a forest and near a lake. There
are lots of animals and birds.
We are very happy here.
3
This is my holiday home. It’s a cave
in Spain! There’s a living room,
three bedrooms, a bathroom and
a kitchen. I love this house – it’s
very cosy, and it’s fun, too. In the
town there are cave cinemas, cave
restaurants and cave cafés!
