What makes your house a home?
The words “house” and “home” don't mean the same in English. A house in towns and cities is a building with four walls and a roof(屋顶), usually in a street with lots of other houses around it. In most houses there are rooms for different activities. So people can eat in the kitchen, sleep in the bedroom, wash in the bathroom and relax in the living room.
But a home is a house full of people with their favourite rooms. For example, my favourite room is my bedroom. It has all my things in it so it's a bit untidy, but I love it. My mum loves reading in the comfortable armchair in the living room. Jasper, the cat, lies by the hot fireplace. My younger sister Sally spends a lot of time in the garden—she loves playing there with her friends! And my dad can cook really well so he's usually in the kitchen.
When I'm away from home, I sometimes feel homesick(想家的). Of course, I miss all my music, my games, my books and my photos, but I also miss everyday family activities. Our house is noisy in the morning before work or school. When I get back in the evening, Jasper jumps on me with his dirty cat feet and there is the fantastic smell of my dad's cooking.
So a home is the people and animals that live in a house, and the things in the rooms that are special to us. It means the activities we do, our feelings and the relaxing environment around us. But a home is also the community(社区) we are part of. I often take our neighbours' dog, Milo, out and they look after Jasper when we're away. And every summer, when it's not dark in the evenings, there's a big party in our street and all the neighbours join in it. That's what a home is for me.
