List of English words on the topic country house. English words on the topic "Home

A man's house is his real fortress. For a huge number of people, their own housing is not just some kind of reinforced concrete walls or rough brick structures, but an ideal place where you want to return every day. Therefore, it is also recommended to know English words on a topic related to home and your own housing. Without this, it is unrealistic to imagine the process of learning such a language.

Why is it worth knowing English words on the topic "Home"?

It is very useful for many people, especially when they go on vacation or on their own business abroad, to know English words on such a topic as home and life. With their use, you can always tell new friends about your own cozy nest. In any situation, the vocabulary on this topic is sure to come in handy for every traveler who wants to explain to the administrator about what the room should be like and what wishes are made for its arrangement. Initially, this should include words related to the description of furniture, home comfort and the atmosphere itself.

Words in English from the series "House" can be both quite difficult to remember and very easy. In any situation, they are presented in huge numbers. Therefore, to study them, you will have to spend a certain amount of your own time. Naturally, it is much easier if the classes are conducted with a qualified tutor. He will select all the required materials, and tell you all the nuances of quickly learning English.

When first learning words, many people are often surprised by their simplicity. But with each successive time, they begin to understand that in reality everything is not so simple. So you have to study and study again. And such a topic as “Home” is not conceived to please many people with words that are too easy to learn. After all, the topic is considered not so easy. Regardless of this, knowing at least elementary words is definitely recommended for every traveler.

Naturally, no one will claim the fact that English words will be learned very quickly and 100 percent. But the elementary vocabulary is considered the real foundation, which you must know. But in the future it all depends on the personal preferences of each person. If he decides to continue learning English, then you can safely begin to translate your own dream into reality.

  • fallage- foliage
  • a passage- a passage, a small corridor

  • get on well with- be on good terms with

Our flat is on the fifth floor of a twelve-storey building. The building is in the noisy street in the long row of buildings that look the same. Luckily, the windows of our flat look on to the quiet yard. Tall trees grow there and we can enjoy green fallage and sometimes see the birds singing in the branches.

When you go into the building through the entrance, you get into a big hall. The lift takes you up to the fifth floor, just press the button.

Our flat has all modern conveniences: gas, electricity, running water and central heating. All this makes our life comfortable and enjoyable.

Our flat is very large and has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a hall and two balconies. The hall is the first place that you get to when you open the door. It has four doors which lead to the rooms and a passage that leads to the kitchen.

The kitchen is large and light. But we don't have meals in the kitchen. The largest room in our flat is the living-room. We like to gather together around the large round table to have supper and share the news in the evenings.

Our family is large and three bedrooms are enough for us. So my parents and my elder sister have their own bedroom and my brother and me share the same bedroom. But we get on well with my brother and that's O.K.

English poems that mention parts of the house and furniture

I Never Want to Go to Bed
Kenn Nesbitt

I never want to go to bed.
I like to stay up late.
I "m bouncing off the bedroom walls
and, frankly, feeling great!

I'm dancing like a maniac
instead of counting sheep.
My mom says, "Time for bed."
My dad yells, "Get your butt to sleep!"

I "m not sure what my bottom
has to do with anything
but that's okay because I'd rather
jump around and sing.

I don't know what it was
that made me feel so wide awake.
Could it have been the Red Bull
and the double-chocolate cake?

I wonder if the seven cups
of coffee plus dessert
of Hershey bars and Skittles
are what left me this alert?

Whatever it turns out to be
that made me feel right
I hope I track it down
so I can stay up every... ZZZzzzzz

The Kitchen

A home is made of many rooms
To rest, to sleep, to shower,
To play, and read, and talk a lot,
Do hobbies by the hour.

But the kitchen, ah, the kitchen
Is a room that's made of dreams
Of fantasies... created by
A love of cooking schemes.

To touch, to smell, to visualize
The wonders that occur...
And then to taste, and then to taste
results of things that were.

At one time just "ingredients,"
In their places on the shelves
But become a wondrous mixture
As though transformed by elves.

Yes, a home is made of many rooms.
Each one has it's pleasures,
But the kitchen is the best of all
For finding hidden treasures.

Please remember - don't forget...
Mabel Lucie Attwell

Please remember - Don't forget!
Never leave the bathroom wet.
Nor leave the soap still in the water. -
That's a thing we never ought "er! -
And as you "ve been so often told,
Never let the "hot" run "cold";
Nor leave the towels upon the floor.
Nor keep the bath an hour or more
When other folks are wanting one;
Just don't forget - it isn't done! -
An "if you" d really do the things -
There's not the slightest need to sing!
