According to the rules, people living on boats must move their boats every half a month. People have to empty the toilet and make the boat full of water every day. I have to wash my clothes by hand, because we can’t fix a washing machine on a boat,” said Quinn.
Even with problems, Quinn enjoyed his time owning a boat. “People become very independent (独立的), learning to take care of the boat themselves. Everyone is friendly and helpful, with a feeling of teamwork,” said Quinn.

We ask three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Smith family
Our family home is in a small village in the west of the USA, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The village is very small and quiet. The mountains are very beautiful. You can go for walks and swim in the rivers, but there aren’t any shops, cinemas, or cafes.
Cathy and Julie Clinton
Our two-bed house is near the sea in the south-west of the UK. It’s about a five-minute drive to the nearest village. There are many beaches, rivers and forests and it’s very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading, watching films, and going for walks. Our area is fit for sports. You can surf, fish and go hiking in the mountains. However, the houses here are expensive. You can’t see buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around if you don’t have a car.

They won’t close before 2 a.m. We love it here because it’s so friendly and you can find what you need. A number of people come to stay to learn French and Latin here.

Mum’s birthday was coming. I wanted to buy her a beautiful dress that would cost 115 dollars, but I only had 60 dollars. I decided to do small jobs to earn some money so that I could buy it. I went outside to the garage (车库) and asked Dad if I could wash his car.
“Dad, may I wash the car? I need some money.”
“Certainly, my child. I’ll pay you 10 dollars.”

In earlier times people didn’t build houses. They lived in caves (洞穴). Some travelled, carrying tents with them. About 10,000 years ago people began to build houses. Here are some examples of different houses from all over the world.
Houses of wood and felt (毛毡): Yurts

Houses of mud (泥) and wood: Tulou
In many parts of China, people have lived in large groups, inside the high mud walls of a tulou. Tulou means “earth building”. Inside there can be 250 rooms around a big courtyard (庭院). The buildings are made of wood. In the courtyard people can cook, wash and dry clothes and children can play. Families also get together there for celebrations. At first, the tulou was built as safe places to protect people.
Houses of mud bricks (砖)
In hot places, people make mud bricks and build a house with them because there isn’t much wood. The roof (屋顶) is flat (平的) and people can sleep there. People build some houses inside a courtyard and keep the animals in the yard.
Houses of ice and snow
The Inuit (因纽特人) built igloos. An igloo is also called a snow house. Hunters stay in an igloo during the winter season. Larger igloos were built for families. They used snow to help keep out the cold.

We ask three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Smith family
Our family home is in a small village in the west of the USA, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The village is very small and quiet. The mountains are very beautiful. You can go for walks and swim in the rivers, but there aren’t any shops, cinemas, or cafes.
Cathy and Julie Clinton
Our two-bed house is near the sea in the south-west of the UK. It’s about a five-minute drive to the nearest village. There are many beaches, rivers and forests and it’s very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading, watching films, and going for walks. Our area is fit for sports. You can surf, fish and go hiking in the mountains. However, the houses here are expensive. You can’t see buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around if you don’t have a car.
Alex and Chloe Martin
Our home is near the centre of Nice, one of the largest cities in France. There are lots of cafes and restaurants here. They won’t close before 2 a.m. We love it here because it’s so friendly and you can find what you need. A number of people come to stay to learn French and Latin here. However, it can be noisy at night, and there is much traffic during the day.

Mum’s birthday was coming. I wanted to buy her a beautiful dress that would cost 115 dollars, but I only had 60 dollars. I decided to do small jobs to earn some money so that I could buy it. I went outside to the garage (车库) and asked Dad if I could wash his car.
“Dad, may I wash the car? I need some money.”
“Certainly, my child. I’ll pay you 10 dollars.”
After I cleaned the car, I got 10 dollars. Next I went to our neighbour Mrs White’s house. Her dog, Henry, needed a bath.
After I bathed Henry, she gave me 35 dollars. I was tired, wet and cold, but I still needed to work for money. I decided to go to ask Dad again.
“Dad, can I clean the garden?”
