MY HOSTEL

My name is Peter. I am from Uman. I live in the hostel of our technical school. I want to describe my hostel and my room to you.

Our hostel >s in a large six-storeyed house. It is a mod­ern buildind jvith all conveniences. There are about 400 rooms in the hostel. Three or four students live in each room. There is a kitchen, two shower stalls and a reading- room on each floor. On the ground floor there is a canteen where we have our meals and a library. On the third floor there is a special room where we can watch TV, play chess or read newspapers. Sometimes different lectures are held there.

I live on the fourth floor in room 530. I have two room­mates. They study in the same group, so they are my group- mates, too. We spend much time together. Our hostel is not far from our technical school. We often walk there. It takes us twenty minutes to get to the technical school. Sometimes when the weather is bad we go there by bus.

In our room there are three beds, each of them is covered with a coverlet. In the middle of the room there is a table. We have our tea and prepare our homework at this table. Four chairs are standing round the table. At the wall there is a wardrobe. Three bookshelves are on the walls. We keep our clothes in the wardrobe, and we keep our books on bookshelves- There are some photos on the walls, too.

IX. Read and translate the text: a naughty boy

A little boy is standing at the door of a flat in a big house on High Street. He wants to ring the bell, but it is too high up for him.

"What do you want?" asks a stout gentleman coming downstairs. "I want to ring the bell, but it is too high and I am not tall enough," answers the boy. "All right," says the man, and he rings the bell. "Now run! Hurry up!" exclaims the boy and runs away.
