is here any mistakes? A house is one of the basic necessities of our life. We all need a house to live in. a good house protects us against the adversities of weather such as heat, clod and rain. It also imbues in us a feeling of safety and provides us a lot of comfort. Different types of houses Houses are made up of different materials. They are of various kinds and types. Some houses are big while others are small. The poor live in huts while the rich construct multi- storied buildings. The type of the house people build depends upon the natural location of the place and the amount on money they can spend on the construction of the house. In the north-eastern parts of India, people make their houses with sloping roofs. Snow comes rolling down the sloping roofs very easily. In villages, most of the people live in huts. The huts are made of mud and thatched roofs. In hilly regions, people make their houses on hill- tops. They make their houses with mambo and wood. Huts are not durable and strong. In cities, the houses are much better. Some people live in big bungalows, while others live in muilt- storied flats. They are made up of bricks, cement and steel and are constructed on the basis of modern architecture. In order to meet the challenge of ever –growing population, multi storied buildings are constructed. The sky- scrapers are a common sight in cosmopolitan cities like Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Chandigrah etc.
