Lesson 1: Around the House

In today's lesson, we're going to go through a house, learning vocabulary for


the different objects in each room AND the different actions you can do there.
You'll also learn the difference between "house" and "home."

Bedroom
Let's begin with the bedroom. The bed is the place where you sleep -
probably with pillows, sheets, and blankets. In this photo, there is a lamp
next to the bed. The lamp is on top of a nightstand or night table.

You keep your clothes in a closet - on hangers - or in a dresser - inside the


drawers.

At night, you go to bed or go to sleep – and in the morning, you wake up


(maybe with an alarm clock). Try to answer these questions now:

• What time do you go to bed?


I go to bed at _____________.
• What time do you wake up?
I wake up at _____________.

Bathroom
Now we'll learn about the bathroom. In the bathroom, you can brush your
teeth using a toothbrush and toothpaste. Most people use the sink to brush
their teeth, and you can see yourself in the mirror.

In the bathroom, you can also take a shower or take a bath in the bathtub.
You use shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair, and soap to wash your
body. Then you use a towel to dry off. Of course, you can also use the toilet –
and don’t forget to flush the toilet after you’re finished!

Try to complete these sentences now:

• I brush my teeth ________ times a day.


• I take a shower ________ times a week.

Kitchen
Time to go into the kitchen. In the kitchen, you can
cook – prepare food for eating. When talking about a
specific meal, we usually use the verb make – make
breakfast, make lunch, and make dinner.

You can keep food cold in the refrigerator (or


“fridge” for short) - and food that needs to be VERY
cold – like ice cream – is kept in the freezer.

Other foods are kept inside cabinets or on a shelf


(the plural is shelves). You can prepare food on the
counter, cook food on the stove or in the oven - and
heat it up in the microwave.

There are many objects in the kitchen, but the most common are pots, pans,
bowls, plates, forks, spoons, and knives. (For more kitchen vocabulary, see
this lesson).

Living Room
The living room is where people relax and spend time with friends and
family. There's a couch or sofa to sit on – you can also sit on a chair. There’s a
bookcase and a window. The floor can be covered by a carpet or rug.

Structure of the House


Finally, let's go through the hallway and out the door, so we can see the
outside of the house. The vertical part is called a wall, the bottom is the floor,
and the top is the ceiling. The word ceiling refers to the interior part, and the
word roof refers to the exterior part.

Some houses have a basement that is underground, and an attic to store


things. And you can park your car in the garage.

House or Home?
Let's finish this lesson with the difference between house and home. A house
is a specific type of building. A house is a physical thing, but the word home is
more of an emotional idea - it means the place where you live, and where you
have a special emotional attachment - where you feel comfortable, safe, and
happy. Your "home" can be a house, an apartment, or another type of
structure.

In English, we often use the word “house” when talking about the building
itself (for example, “I live in a small house”), and “home” with the verb “go”
and the preposition “at.” For example, you can say, “I was at home last night” –
or when you leave work, you can say, “Bye everyone. I’m going home.”

You learned a LOT of words in today’s lesson – now try the exercises to
practice the vocabulary.
