TYPES OF HOUSE
People live in different types of houses. The following are some of them.

A storey building is a house with more than one floor. It usually contains more than one flat. The first floor in a storey building is called the ground floor, and the second becomes the first floor.

A duplex is a storey building for use by a family. The ground floor usually contains the sitting room, the kitchen, one bedroom, a toilet and a bathroom.

Some duplexes have another sitting room on the first floor, and this is used by the family.
