Unit 3: Homes

Welcome to your revision guide for Unit 3! This guide will help you review everything we’ve learned about
homes, strange buildings, and some famous places. You’ll find activities to help you practice, as well as
key vocabulary and grammar points. Remember, this guide is for independent study, so try to work through
it at your own pace!

You will also need to review Unit 3 in your Leaner’s Book (Page 44 – 55) and your Workbook (Page 32 – 38).

3.1 How Can We Describe Where We Live?

Parts of the House

We have learned many different parts of the house. Let’s review some key vocabulary:

• kitchen: Where we cook our meals.

• bedroom: Where we sleep.

• bathroom: Where we wash ourselves.

• living room: Where we relax and watch TV.

• roof: The top of the house.

• dining room: Where we eat meals together.

Activity 1: Create a simple drawing of a house and label the different rooms. Describe what happens in
each room in full sentences.

Types of Houses

Different houses exist all over the world! Some of the ones we learned about include:

• yurt: A large round tent.

• bungalow: A house with only one floor.

• houseboat: A house that travels along the river.

• detached house: A house that is not connected to any other building.

• stilt house: A house built on top of water.

• eco-house: A house that is environmentally friendly.

• tree house: A house that is built into the trees.

• apartment: A home on one floor of a building with no stairs.

Activity 2: Match the house types to descriptions in your own words. Then, draw your favourite house type
and explain why you like it.
Describing Houses

When talking about houses, we use adjectives to describe them. These can include words like:

• modern: New or up-to-date.

• spacious: Having a lot of room.

• comfortable: Relaxing and nice to be in.

• enormous: Very big.

• relaxing: Something that makes you feel calm and peaceful.

• grand: Very big and fancy, like something important.

• colourful: Full of bright colours, not plain.

• wooden: Made of wood, like trees.

• mysterious: Something that is strange or hard to understand, like a secret

Activity 3: Look at a picture of a house and write 3 sentences using adjectives to describe it. Try using
words like “modern,” “spacious,” and “comfortable.”

3.2 The Eco-House

Read about the eco-house in your Learner’s Book (Page 46). Try to remember some information about it.
For example, they are made from recycled materials and locally sourced materials, they collect rain water
for the garden and to use in the house. Some eco-houses have grass on the roof to keep it warm in the
winter.

Activity 4: Draw or design your own eco-house. Label the different features of the house that make it good
for the environment. Write two sentences about why eco-houses are important.

Vocabulary Review

• rubbish: Things we don’t need or want.

• local materials: Things found nearby to build with.

• rubbish tip: a place where people can throw away large pieces of rubbish.

• efficiently: Doing something quickly and in a well-organized way.

Activity 5: Write a short story about an eco-house using the vocabulary words above.

Infinitive of Purpose

We use the infinitive of purpose to explain why we do something. For example:

• I go to school to learn.

• She went to the shop to buy some milk.

Activity 6: Write 3 sentences about things you do every day and why you do them. Use the infinitive of
purpose (e.g., I use my bike to get to school).
3.3 Strange Buildings

Some buildings around the world are very unusual. We use modal verbs to express possibilities, such as:

• might: Something is possible.

• must: Something is certain.

• can’t: Something is impossible.

• could: Something is possible.

Activity 7: Look at a picture of a strange building. Write 3 sentences using modal verbs like “might,” “must,”
“could,” and “can’t” to describe it.

3.4 Famous Places: Machu Picchu

Read about Machu Picchu in your Learner’s Book (Page 50). Try to remember some interesting facts, like,
Machu Picchu is a famous ancient city in Peru. It was built by the Inca emperor Pachacuti and is believed
to be a spiritual and ceremonial site. Today, it’s a popular place to visit, and many people enjoy trekking
to the site.

Activity 8: Re-read the text about Machu Picchu and create a mini-poster. Include where it’s located, who
built it, and why it’s famous.

3.5 The Hobbit

In our reading of The Hobbit, we learned some new vocabulary:

• hole: An open space in the ground.

• meadows: Pretty fields.

• comfort: A nice, easy feeling.

• tunnel: A long passage through the ground.

• fond of: To like something very much.

• respectable: A good person.

Activity 9: Write a short paragraph about where you would like to live if you were a hobbit. Use the
vocabulary words above in your description.

Final Review Game:

Activity 10: Create flashcards for each section: Parts of the House, Types of Houses, Describing Houses, Eco-
Houses, and Strange Buildings. On one side, write the term or vocabulary word. On the other side, write the
description or an example sentence. Use the cards to quiz yourself or a friend!

Good luck with your revision! Keep practicing, and you’ll feel confident with all the new vocabulary and
grammar points.
