The place where we Live

This is the place where we sleep, eat, play and

often go to school, work… this is where we LIVE.

Most food is grown on farms.

Farmers build irrigation systems to take water to

the plants and animals:

Food is processed or preserved to be transported

and stored. It can be put in cans, bottles or other

containers.

We need water to drink, to clean and to prepare

food.

Water can come from a natural source or from a

reservoir.

Humans build houses or buildings to protect

themselves from bad weather.

Food and raw materials are transported from

farms to the shops in towns and cities.

Trucks and other forms of transport carry the food.

Human beings often cause pollution to the

environment (air pollution, water pollution and land

pollution).

We must take care of the environment.

Trees clean the air.

Reforestation is important.

This is a city or town, with a lot of buildings,

people and traffic.

A rural landscape is the countryside, with small

villages, farms, forests…

An abandoned village is a village where people

lived in the past, but nobody lives now.
