WHAT ARE HOUSES MADE OF?

Some houses are made of mud and straw. We find such houses in villages. They are called kachcha  houses.

In cities, most houses are made of bricks and cement. They are called pucca houses. Pucca houses are stronger than kachcha houses.

Different materials are used to make different kinds of houses. Examples of such materials are – mud, straw, dry leaves, bamboo, wood, brick, cement and stones.

KINDS OF HOUSES

Huts are mostly found in villages. They generally have a single room. These houses are not very strong.

Bungalows are mostly found in towns and cities. They are big in size.

Some residential buildings in big cities have many floors. There are houses on each floor. These houses are called flats. Such buildings are known as multi-storeyed* buildings.
