People live in all kinds of houses. They choose their houses for different reasons. isn't a lot of room for houses in the cities, so many people live in very tall apartments (公寓楼). Each apartment building can have many floors, and each floor might have three or more families.
Farmers need large amounts of land. Crops and farm animals need space, too. a result, farmers build their houses in the countryside where there's lots of open land.
For those live in hot deserts, people make houses out of clay because the thick clay walls can keep the rooms cool.
What the people in cold places? They usually raise their houses above the ground. Frozen ground is land that often has a lot of water in it. If a house built on frozen (冰冻的) earth, warmth from the house could heat the frozen ground. Then the house would sink into the mud (泥土).
Look at the houses around you. See how the house fits the place where you live.
