Question

Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow in your own words:

What is a house? It's brick and stone,

and wood that's hard. Some window glass and perhaps a yard.

It's eaves and chimneys and tile floors

and stucco and roof and lots of doors.

What is a home? It's loving and family and doing for others.

It's brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers. 

It's unselfish acts and kindly sharing

and showing your loved ones you' re always caring.

(i) Describe a house in you own words.

(ii) Define a home as described in the poem.

(iii) What do you like- a house or a home? Why?

Answer 1

(i) A house is just a set of rooms made of brick and stone, wood and glass. It has ground, tile floors, windows and doors.

(ii) A home means a family, a set of members. It has parents and children, brothers and sisters.

(iii) I like a home because house is a lifeless structure where as a home is a living unit. All the members of the family are bonded with ties of love and respect. They take care of each other. They share each other's joy and sorrow.
