MY FLAT
My house is a 10 minutes walk from the bus stop. I live in a five storey building on the third floor. There are all modern conveniences in the house: electricity, gas, an elevator, hot and cold running water, central heating, a chute and a telephone.
I live in a three room flat. It is not large but very cosy. There is a hall, a living-room, a study, a bed-room, a toilet, a bath-room and a kitchen.
The hall is very nice. There are built-in wardrobes and cupboards. There is a stand with hooks for coats, hats and umbrellas in the corner.
The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. There is a suite of modern furniture with a cupboard, a bar, a wardrobe and bookshelves. There is a thick carpet on the floor. Opposite the set of furniture there is a corner-sofa. In front of it there is a small table with a vase of flowers and an ash-tray on it. To the right of the sofa there is an arm-chair. On the left there is a lamp. There is also a TV-set with a video and a tape-recorder near the wall. There are curtains on the windows which make the room very cosy.
The room I like best is my study. There is a writing table and an office arm-chair near it. On the left there is a computer table with a computer, a processor and a printer on it. Near the wall there is a sofa where I sleep. There are some bookshelves full of my favorite books.
The bedroom is larger than the study. There is a twin bed, a mirror-stand, a wardrobe, two bedside tables and many flowers on the windowsill.
We use the kitchen as a dining-room. The kitchen is not very large, but rather spacious and serves its purpose well.
There is a fridge in the left corner. To the left of the fridge there is a modern set of kitchen furniture with a gas-stove, built-in washing machine, a kitchen combine and a sink. There are some wall-cupboards and floor-cupboards with a number of drawers, where we keep spoons, forks, knives, frying pans and sauce-pans. Near the wall there is a table that folds when not in use. Bright curtains on the window make our kitchen look very cheerful. We like to gather in the room, to sit and talk eating or having tea.
