Our House and Flat. Наш будинок і квартира
Я живу в новому дев’ятиповерховому будинку на вулиці Пушкіна. Перед будинком знаходиться дитячий майданчик і невеликий садок. Нам подобається проводити там час. Наша квартира розташована на п’ятому поверсі. Вона дуже комфортабельна. У нас є всі сучасні вигоди, такі як центральне опалення, електрика, газ, холодна і гаряча вода і телефон.
У нашій квартирі три кімнати: вітальня і дві спальні. Вітальня – найбільша кімната в квартирі. Вона прекрасно обставлена. Біля стіни ви можете бачити красивий сервант. У кутку – кольоровий телевізор.
I live in a new nine-storeyed block of flats in Pushkin Street. In front of the house there is
A children’s playground and a small garden. We like to spend our time there. Our flat is on the fourth floor. It is very comfortable. We have all modern conveniences, such as central heating, electricity, gas, cold and hot running water and a telephone. There are three rooms in our flat: a living – room and two bedrooms. Our living – room is the largest in the flat. It is nicely furnished. Opposite the wall you can see a nice cupboard. There is a colour TV-set in the corner. In another corner there is a sofa and two armchairs. The piano is on the right. There are two pictures above the piano. There is a bookcase next to it. We are fond of books and have plenty of them at home. On the floor we have a nice thick carpet. The curtains on the window match the wallpaper. All this makes the room cosy. Our bedrooms are also very nice and cosy. The parents’ bedroom is larger than the children’s. There are two beds, a bedside table, some chairs and a wardrobe in it.
There is a lovely carpet on the floor between the beds. The children’s bedroom is just across the corridor on the right. Here you can see two sofa-beds where my sister and I sleep at night and have a rest in the day-time. There is also a writing-table, two chairs and some bookshelves here. We use our bedroom as a study where we do our homework. In the corner of the room there is a small table with a tape-recorder on it. We all enjoy listening to the music. Our kitchen is rather large. There is a gas-stove, a refrigerator and a cupboard in which we keep cups, plates and all our dishes. The kitchen serves us as a dining-room. But when we receive guests or have our family celebrations we have the meals in the living-room. We are happy to have such a nice flat and try to keep it clean.
