3. HOW IS MY HOUSE? EJEMPLO
Is your house an Igloo?
Provided temperatures remain below 32 degrees F, constructing snow shelters is relatively easy. Sheltering from the wind is the first priority,
since the wind can drastically decrease the air temperature. Temperatures below 14 degrees F become increasingly unpleasant, so that it
becomes necessary to construct shelters in which heat can be retained extremely well. These can range from a simple, hollowed-out heap of
snow to an igloo, which can take a few hours to construct. In a long-term shelter, such as an igloo, heavy, cold air can be diverted away from
the occupants by digging a cold sink to channel the air down and away from the shelter. It is important to allow for adequate ventilation in all
snow shelters in order to prevent suffocation.
Write the name of the corresponding parts of the house and the furniture in the corresponding blank.

7. HOW IS MY HOUSE? EJERCICIO
Is your house a castle?
During the Middle Ages, a stronger need for security emerged, leading to the building of concentric castles. Concentric
castles took much longer to complete but they provided many lines of defence. Normally the outer wall would be finished first
and then the rest; to protect the workers and the people already inhabitating the castle.
Double-click on the speaker, listen to the pronunciation and write the name of the object on the corresponding blank.

9. HOW IS MY HOUSE? PROPUESTA
Is your house a pyramid?
The most famous pyramids are the Egyptian pyramids — huge structures built of brick or stone, some of which are among the largest man-made
constructions. Pyramids functioned as tombs for pharaohs. The Great Pyramid of Gizeh is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest in the world. Until
Lincoln Cathedral was built in 1300, it was the tallest building in the world. The base is over 13 acres in area.
Draw your house using the drawing tools and write the name of the rooms and furniture.
