People make many different kinds of homes around the world. Weather tells us what kind of homes we need to make.

In hot places such as southern China and southern USA, the weather is warm so people can be outside most of the time. But they still need to protect (保护) themselves against sun, rain and insects (昆虫). Homes in such places need to have screens (滤网) on their windows and doors. They let the wind into the house, but keep out the insects.

In Canada, northern China and other cold places, homes need to keep out the cold and keep in the heat. These homes need thick walls. If there is a lot of snow, the roofs (屋顶) need to let the snow fall off easily. These homes cannot have flat roofs. The roofs must also be very strong so that they can hold a lot of snow.
