What does home mean to you сочинение
Обновлено: 05.07.2024
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? in Spanish? in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it often has no exact translation. It's not surprising really, because the idea of home varies from country to country and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and family living. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
But it's not just that homes look different in different countries, they also contain different things and reveal different attitudes and needs. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows, cool stone floors and often no carpets. We asked some people about their homes.
What's the main room in your home?
The kitchen, because its warm and we have breakfast, lunch and dinner there every day.
Jackie, Cork, Ireland
Do you have a television ? If so, where ?
In the bedroom. We like to watch it in bed.
Maurice, Bruges, Belgium
Do you lock your door when you go out?
In cities we do. Although when I was a child in the Tatra mountains, we left the door open with bread and dishes of food and something to drink, such as a glass of milk, on a table inside, so that visitors and travellers could stop and refresh themselves.
Grazyna, Katowice, Poland
If you live in a town, do you stay there at weekends? Well, we live in the town, but only because i'm an architect and I work there. I really wouldn't call it home - that's what I call our house in the country where we go every weekend.
Elizabeth, San Paulo, Brazil What are typical features of homes in your country? In Britain, even in the town there's always a garden and sometimes a cellar. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies or terraces. The weather isn't warm enough!
Pat, Exeter, England

Правила дома
Но в разных странах дома не только выглядят по-разному, они также содержат различные вещи и проявляют различные позиции и потребности. Например, в холодной Северной Европе, в гостиной или кухне есть камин, и все стулья стоят перед ним. На юге, где много солнца и в первую очередь надо защититься от жары в домах маленькие окна, прохладные каменные полы и чаще всего не бывает никаких ковров. Мы опросили нескольких людей относительно их домов.
Какова главная комната в вашем доме?
Кухня, поскольку она теплая и мы там завтракаем, обедаем и ужинаем каждый день.
Джекки, Корк, Ирландия
У вас есть телевизор? Если да, то где?
В спальни. Мы любим смотреть его лежа в постели.
Морис, Брюг, Бельгия
Вы запираете дверь, когда выходите из дома?
В городах замыкаем. Хотя когда мы жили в горах Татрах, а я еще был ребенком, мы оставляли дверь незапертой, оставляли хлеб, тарелки с едой и что-нибудь
попить, например стакан молока, на столе в доме, чтобы посетители и путешественники могли остановиться и подкрепиться.
Гражина, Катовице, Польша
Если вы живете в городе, вы остаетесь там на выходные?
Мы живем в городе, но только потому, что я - архитектор и работаю там. Я и правда не назвала бы это домом. Домом я называю наш дом в деревне, куда мы ездим каждого выходного дня.
Элизабет, Сан-Паулу, Бразилия
Какие типичные черты имеют дома в вашей стране?
В Британии, даже в городе, всегда есть сад, а иногда и погреб. У нас отдельные спальни и гостиной. Но у нас мало кто имеет балконы или террасы. Погода не достаточно тепла!
Пэт, Экзетер, Англия
Итак, понятие дома означает разные вещи для разных людей. А что это понятие означает для вас?

A home is a place where you can feel comfortable and safe. For me, a home is just an environment where you can be free and can be yourself. A place can also become a home with the people you surround yourself with.
My home is a place of safety, peace, and unity. A house is not a home, it is a place where you live, but a home is a place where you are comfortable and happy, a place where you can create a lot of positive, and maybe even not so positive memories. It is a place where you would be completely at peace with spending your life there.

What does your immediate family mean to you?
My immediate family is the whole world for me. My parents are wonderful people and I appreciate them a lot because they brought me to the world. I know that they love me because I am who I am. No matter what they come to help me when I get in trouble. Another thing I am grateful to them for is that I can tell them about everything because they are always on my side even if I am not right; they forgive me and take care of me. So, I think that love, respect, support and understanding make a family happy.
I don’t communicate with my extended family so much as I do with my parents (I get on well both with my family circle and other members of our extended family).
I suppose my family to be tight-knit.
Are there any family traditions that you follow?
I suppose that family traditions are important because families become more close-knit, generations stay united and understand each other better, people understand what families are and what they mean in our life. From my childhood, I remember that on special occasions and holidays all the members of our family celebrate together. Much food is usually cooked and dinners usually last until night. We invite all the members of our family and have fun.
One more small but important tradition refers to everyday meals. At least one time a day, usually this is supper, we have a meal together, discuss what happened and make plans for tomorrow. We also have a weekly tradition to eat pizza and watch movies together.
What questions will you ask a British teenager about his/her extended family?
Have you got a big family? Have you got any family traditions? Do you like to spend your free time with your family? Is your family large? What are your parents? Are there any problems in your family? What is your parents’ attitude to your friends? Have you got close relations with your parents? How often do you have misunderstandings with your parents? What do you usually do to solve the problems in your relationships?

Most teenagers actively help their parents about the house. Teenagers usually do the washing-up, vacuum the carpets, take out the garbage and go shopping. If there is a pet in the family, children may walk it after school.
In my opinion, the easiest household duty is walking a pet and doing the shopping. In these cases, you can have a breath of fresh air and even meet up with your friends.
As for difficult household duties, I think those are washing the dishes and vacuuming. Such duties take a lot of time and effort and are rather boring.
Personally, I like helping my mum with cooking. I believe that cooking skills will come in useful for me in the future. Moreover, cooking is always fun, because I know that soon there will be a delicious dish on our table.
Every teenager should help his or her parents and other family members about the house.
While some teenagers are too lazy and do not want to do anything, most of them are grown-up enough and ready to take on some household duties. Teenagers usually have such duties as doing the shopping, taking out the garbage, cleaning their own room or the whole apartment, dusting, etc. Advanced teenagers may also take part in the process of cooking.
I would not say that there are easy duties, because if you want to do something really well, it takes a lot of time and effort no matter what it is. But many teenagers consider walking their pets to be a simple thing to do as it feels more like a kind of entertainment than hard work.
To me, almost all household duties seem difficult. The most unpleasant one is washing the floors, because I have to bend down a lot and my hands get very dirty. Moreover, if you are unlucky, you can get a wood splinter under your fingernail, which is painful and dangerous.
When it comes to household duties, my preferences are as follows. I like doing the shopping and taking out the garbage. These duties give me a chance to spend some extra time outdoors.
