Твір з англіської мови The House of My Dream
Кожна людина має своє уявлення про ідеальний будинок. З незапам’ятних часів люди завжди хотіли, щоб будинком було місце, де можна почувати себе зручно і затишно, куди завжди хочеться повертатися. Житло моєї мрії – це не будинок, а двоповерховий особняк.
І як справжня господарка, я хочу облаштувати усе на свій смак. Тепер давайте я розповім вам про мій будинок. Коли ви приходите до мене, то відкриваєте великі дерев’яні двері, витираючи ноги об килим і входячи в хол. На підлозі лежить килимове покриття, шпалери світлі, з дрібним малюнком.
Every person has his own idea of a perfect house. Since the time immemorial people always wanted to make their dwelling a place, where one feels comfortable and cosy, where one always wants to come back to. A dwelling of my dream is not a flat but a two-storeyed mansion.
And as a real hostess I’d like to arrange everything in the house according to my taste. Now, let me tell you about my house. When you come to me, you push a big wooden front door, wiping your feet on the door-mat, and enter the hall. The floor is covered with a fitted carpet, the wallpaper is light and has a small pattern. There’s a seat and a small table near the wall and a huge mirror above it. Then you enter the living-room. The bright full-length curtains are drawn back, and sunshine fills the room. The living-room suite, consisting of a sideboard, a bookcase, a sofa, an elegant coffee table and three armchairs, is arranged around three walls. There’s a video system near the window. On the ground floor there’s also a kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen is a very large room with a big window. There is a gas cooker with a hood, two wall-cupboards and a sink unit there.
Near the opposite wall there is a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a table. Let’s go upstairs and have a look at the bedroom. This is a very cosy and warm room. The bedroom suite consists of a bed, two bedside tables and a wardrobe. The window overlooks the back yard. In my house there is also a terrace, a garage and a garden and so many other things I’d like to have; at least, in my dream house.
