Welcome to Unit 1: My New Home. In this unit, we will learn about different types of houses and rooms. We'll also learn vocabulary for furniture and household items. We'll practice asking and answering questions about where things are located, and how to describe the positions of objects in a house.
Now, let's learn about the different rooms in a house. A typical house has several rooms, each with a special purpose. The living room is where we relax, watch TV, and spend time with family. The bedroom is where we sleep and keep our clothes. The kitchen is where we prepare and cook food. The bathroom is where we wash and brush our teeth. And the study is where we read books and do homework. Each room has different furniture and items that help us with activities in that room.
Now let's learn about furniture and household items. In the living room, we usually have a sofa for sitting and relaxing. We often have a TV for watching programs and movies. A coffee table is placed in the center of the room. Bookshelves are used for storing books and displaying decorations. In a study area, we have a desk for working or studying, and a chair to sit on. A lamp provides light for reading. Different rooms have different furniture based on what activities we do there.
Now let's learn how to ask and answer questions about where things are located. We can ask 'Where is the lamp?' and answer 'It's next to the desk.' We use prepositions like 'in', 'on', 'under', 'next to', and 'between' to describe locations. We can also ask 'Is there a chair in the bedroom?' and answer 'Yes, there is.' Or we can ask 'Are there any books on the shelf?' and answer 'Yes, there are.' These phrases help us talk about the positions of objects in our home.
Let's review what we've learned in Unit 1. We learned about different rooms in a house, including the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and study. We also learned vocabulary for furniture and household items, such as sofa, bed, table, chair, desk, bookshelf, and TV. We practiced asking questions like 'Where is the lamp?' and answering with phrases like 'It's next to the desk.' Now we can describe our home and talk about where things are located! In the next unit, we'll learn more about daily activities and routines.
