We Have A Nice Flat In a New Block of Flats. Our Flat Is On The Fourth Floor. IT HAS ALL Modern Conveniences: Central Heating, Gas, Electricity, Cold and Hot Water, A Lift and a Chute to Carry Rubbish Down. There Are Three Rooms, A Kitchen, a bathroom and a Hall in Our Flat. The Living-Room Is The Largest and Most Comfortable Room in The Flat. In The Middle of the Room We Have A Square-Table with Six Chairs Round It. To The Right of the Dinner-Table There is a Wall-Unit Which Has Several Sections: A Sideboard, a Wardrobe and Some Shelves.

At the Opposite Wall There Is a Piano and Stool Before It. Between The Two Large Windows There Is A Little Table With A Color TV Set On It. Near the TV Set There Are Two Cosy Armchairs. A Small Round Table, A Divan-Bed and A Standard Lamp Are in the Left-Hand Corner. This Small Table IS for Newspapers and Magazines. My Father IS Used to Having a Rest Sitting On This Divan-Bed Reading Books, Newspapers, Magazines or Watching TV.

The Bedroom IS Smaller The Living-Room and Not So Light As There Is Only One Window in It. In This Room There Are Two Beds with a Bedside-Table Between Them. An Alarm-Clock and A Small Lamp with a Pink Lamp-Shade Are on the table. In The Left-Hand Corner There Is a Dressing-Table with a Big Mirror .. In This Room We Have a Built-in Wardrobe with Coat-Hangers to-Hang Clothes on. There IS A A Thick Carpet On The Floor and Plain Light-Brown Curtains on the window.

The Third Room Is My Study. IT IS NOT LARGE BUT VERY COSY. There ISN "T Much Furniture In It, Only The Most Necessary. IT HAS A WRITING-TABLE AND AN ARMCHAIR BEFORE IT. IN THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER THERE IS A BOOKCASE FULL OF BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS. A SMALL TABLE WITH A RADIO IS Standing In The Left-Hand Corner. Near It There Is A Sofa with Some Cushions. In My Opinion, The Study Is The Best Room in Our Flat.

But The Warmest Place in Our Flat Is The Kitchen, I Tink - The Poce Where The Whole Family Gather Every Evening Not Only to Have Supper Together, But Also to Speak and Rest. I Like The English Proverb: "My Home Is My Castle" Because My Flat Is, Indeed, My Castle.

Text translation: My Flat - My apartment (1)

We have a nice apartment in a new apartment building. Our apartment on the fourth floor, it has all the modern amenities: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, elevator and moush-roping. The apartment has three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, an entrance hall. The living room is the largest and comfortable room in the apartment. In the center of the room is a square dining table and six chairs. To the right of the table is a furniture wall. It consists of several sections: a sideboard, a cabinet, a few shelves.

The opposite side has a piano with a chair. Between two large windows there is a small table with a color TV. Near the TV two cozy armchairs. In the left corner there is a small round table, sofa and lamp. This small table is designed for newspapers and magazines. Dad got used to relax, sitting on the sofa, read books, newspapers, magazines or watch TV.

The bedroom is smaller in size than the living room, and not so light, because in it only one window. In this room there are two beds and between them a bedside table. On the bedside table is alarm clock and a small lamp with a pink lamp. In the left corner - a dressing table with a large mirror. This room has a built-in wardrobe with hip-kama. On the floor lies a fat carpet, and one-photon brown curtains hang on the windows.

The third room is my office. It is small, but very comfortable. It has few furniture, only the most necessary. Here is a desk with a chair. In the right corner - a bookcase with books, magazines, newspapers. A small table with a radio is in the left corner. Near him is a sofa with pillows. In my opinion, this office is the most best room in our flat.

But the warmest place in our apartment is a kitchen, a place where the whole family is going every night not only to have dinner together, but also to talk and relax. I like the English proverb: "My house is my fortress," because my apartment is really my fortress.
