Это Хелен. Она из Великобритании. Она хочет узнать о твоей
квартире, месте где ты живешь. Что ты можешь ей сказать?
Hello, Helen. Let me describe my flat. I live in a big block of flats. I live
far from the centre of Moscow, because flats in the centre of Moscow are
very expensive, but I like the place I live in.
My flat is rather small, but it is very comfortable. We have three rooms: a
sitting-room, two bedrooms, a toilet and a bathroom. My mother runs the
house, sometimes we help her about the house, so we keep our flat very
clean. In our kitchen you can cook food and wash up the dishes. There is
cold and hot running water in our kitchen and bathroom.
There is a table, a green sofa, two blue armchairs and a colour TV set in our
sitting room. We have many green plants in our room, too. We don’t have a
fireplace in our sitting-room. We just don’t need it, because a fireplace is
very expensive and it is always very warm in our flat. We like to watch TV,
read books, draw, sing songs to music in our sitting room. We put a Christ-
mas tree there when we celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
I have got my own room. It is my favourite room. It is not large. In fact, it is
rather small. When you come to my room, you can see a big blue window in
front of you. You can also see a nice bookcase on the right. My bed is be-
hind the bookcase. There are many different books in the bookcase. There is
a desk near the window. There are books, exercise-books, pens, pencils, rub-
bers, rulers, a diary and a timetable on the desk. There is a schoolbag and a
uniform on the chair near the desk. The walls in my room are brown and yel-
low. On the walls you can see many beautiful colourful pictures. I have got a
wonderful blue carpet on the floor. I must always keep my room clean. I al-
ways feel very comfortable when I’m at home. How I like our flat! The Rus-
sians have a very good proverb: «There are a lot of good places but home is
the best» We live on the first floor. If you go downstairs you’ll get to the
yard. There are trees in our yard in front and behind our house. There are
many beautiful flowers in front of the house and many trees behind it. In
summer I play football, hide-and-seek in the yard. I often make a snowman,
play snowballs and hockey in winter. I often go for a walk in our yard. There
are always lots of cars in the yard.
