• A home in a cave • A home in a forest • A home in a boat

Three teenagers tell us about their amazing homes.

Home sweet home

This is my home on a river in England. What is it? It’s a houseboat! It is very small but there is a kitchen, a living room and two bedrooms. There is a TV and a computer, too. It’s great!

My family’s wooden house is in the countryside in Poland. It’s in a forest and near a lake. There are lots of animals and birds. We are very happy here.

This is my holiday home. It’s a cave in Spain! There’s a living room, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. I love this house – it’s very cosy, and it’s fun, too. In the town there are cave cinemas, cave restaurants and cave cafés!
