Why Do We Need a House?

English

A house is a place where we live with our family.

A house protects us from:

  • Heat

  • Rain
  • Wind
  • Wild animals
  • Thieves

It gives us a safe and comfortable place to eat, sleep, study, and rest.

हिन्दी

घर वह स्थान है जहाँ हम अपने परिवार के साथ रहते हैं।

घर हमें बचाता है:

  • गर्मी से
  • ठंड से
  • बारिश से
  • तेज़ हवा से
  • जंगली जानवरों से
  • चोरों से

घर हमें रहने, पढ़ने, खाने और आराम करने के लिए सुरक्षित स्थान देता है।

A pucca house is made of bricks, cement, iron, and concrete. It is strong and long-lasting.

Examples: Flats, bungalows, apartments.

पक्का घर ईंट, सीमेंट, लोहे और कंक्रीट से बना होता है। यह मजबूत और टिकाऊ होता है।

2. Kutcha House (कच्चा घर)
