Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.

One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city. “My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard,” said Maria. Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said. Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋顶). When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof. “What a wonderful garden! “said Maria.

Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.

Building a house sounds like a big project. But some students at Chesterton High School in Indiana, US, are learning such skills.

This school has offered a construction(建筑) course called “building trades”. Since the course began last year, it has attracted(吸引) 36 students. With the help of their teacher Tom Garzella, these students learn to build houses. Garzella said that about one fifth of his students might go into the construction industry in the future.

The house, which is 97 square meters, has three bedrooms. It is near the school’s tennis court. Right now, the students are busy putting up the electric wires inside home.

The project gives students a chance to learn about the construction trade（施工工种）and see the construction process from start to finish. They can not only learn how to read and follow blueprints（设计图）, but also learn how to work with others to solve hard problems.

The course includes some classes about the house’s construction. One student designed its floor plan in the architecture（架构）class. And a design class will teach students to decorate the house when it’s done. The cost of building the house is not low. It has cost about ﹩27,000 so far. But it has already been sold at a low price to an organization that helps homeless and low-income people.

Students will finish building the house next February. Then they will ship the house to its final owner in Michigan. The house will be decorated after it is shipped there.
