House - Vocabulary

A house is a building where people live. People stay in a house to be safe from weather like rain or sun and to have privacy. It has many parts, and each part has a special. For example, we sleep in the bedroom. We cook in the kitchen. We have lunch in the dining room. In this English vocabulary lesson, we will learn the names of different parts of a house with pictures. We will also learn how to talk about them with our friends or partners.

John has recently moved into a new house. He loves to talk about it with his friends. His house has a big living room. There’s a comfortable sofa and a TV. This is where John and his family watch movies and relax.

Next to the living room is the dining room. It has a long table with six chairs. John’s family gathers here for meals. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.

John enjoys cooking. The house has a modern kitchen with lots of cupboards. There’s a big fridge, an oven, and a microwave. Every morning, he makes breakfast. Sometimes it’s toast, sometimes it’s pancakes.

The house also has a balcony. It faces the garden and gets a lot of sunlight. But in the afternoon, there’s a nice shade. John likes to sit here with a book or a cup of coffee. John is happy in his new house. He loves every part of it.
