English poems that mention parts of the house and furniture
I Never Want to Go to Bed
Kenn Nesbitt
I never want to go to bed.
I like to stay up late.
I "m bouncing off the bedroom walls
and, frankly, feeling great!
I'm dancing like a maniac
instead of counting sheep.
My mom says, "Time for bed."
My dad yells, "Get your butt to sleep!"
I "m not sure what my bottom
has to do with anything
but that's okay because I'd rather
jump around and sing.
I don't know what it was
that made me feel so wide awake.
Could it have been the Red Bull
and the double-chocolate cake?
I wonder if the seven cups
of coffee plus dessert
of Hershey bars and Skittles
are what left me this alert?
Whatever it turns out to be
that made me feel right
I hope I track it down
so I can stay up every... ZZZzzzzz
The Kitchen
A home is made of many rooms
To rest, to sleep, to shower,
To play, and read, and talk a lot,
Do hobbies by the hour.
But the kitchen, ah, the kitchen
Is a room that's made of dreams
Of fantasies... created by
A love of cooking schemes.
To touch, to smell, to visualize
The wonders that occur...
And then to taste, and then to taste
results of things that were.
At one time just "ingredients,"
In their places on the shelves
But become a wondrous mixture
As though transformed by elves.
Yes, a home is made of many rooms.
Each one has it's pleasures,
But the kitchen is the best of all
For finding hidden treasures.
Please remember - don't forget...
Mabel Lucie Attwell
Please remember - Don't forget!
Never leave the bathroom wet.
Nor leave the soap still in the water. -
That's a thing we never ought "er! -
And as you "ve been so often told,
Never let the "hot" run "cold";
Nor leave the towels upon the floor.
Nor keep the bath an hour or more
When other folks are wanting one;
Just don't forget - it isn't done! -
An "if you" d really do the things -
There's not the slightest need to sing!
The topic "Furniture" in English is one of the mandatory when learning the language. It is not difficult to learn furniture in English, because this topic is very visual - students, as a rule, are happy to draw plans for their “ideal” rooms or houses, immediately applying new words in practical tasks.
Conventionally, for ease of development, you can "divide the furniture into rooms." Of course, some of the words will be common to several rooms, that is, furniture (furniture) can stand both in the living room and in the bedroom, for example. But the more room for creativity. Our task is to cover as many words as possible, dividing them into semantic groups. In the tablets we will include not only words on the topic of furniture in English with translation, but also the names of some items that, although they are not furniture, are familiar and necessary in a particular room.

We got acquainted with the basic words on the subject of furniture in English. Now you can start learning new words. If your own living space doesn't inspire you to practice all of the above words, the internet provides students with plenty of illustrated dictionaries.
Don't forget to say the new words out loud. The combination of the work of visual and auditory memory will serve to quickly memorize them. At the beginning of the article, plans for a "dream house" were mentioned. We recommend that you spend some time creating such a plan. The more you draw the location of the rooms, the more objects you “arrange” in them, the better the words will be remembered. After the plan is ready, say the location of each item in each room relative to each other, windows (window), walls (wall) and doors (door). Use prepositions in sentences:
- next to
- opposite - opposite
- to the left
- to the right
- behind - behind
- between - between
- before - in front of
For example: There is a big mirror between the armchairs in the hall.
