Our flat

I live in the city in a block of flats. Our flat is on the first floor and we don’t take a lift. We usually go upstairs and downstairs on foot. There are no flats on the ground floor. There are some shops and a library there. It is very convenient.

Our flat is big. There is a living room, a dining room, a bedroom and a children’s room in it. At the end of the corridor there is a big hall with a balcony. At the other end of the corridor there is a kitchen and a bath¬room. The dining room is opposite the living room, and the children’s room is to the left of the bedroom.

We have all modern conveniences (1) in our flat: telephone, gas, electricity, cold and hot water.

My room is not very big. There is a table with a computer, a wardrobe and a bookcase in it. In the corner of the room there is an armchair. In the living room you can see a sofa, two armchairs, a TV set with a video tape-recorder and a table. There is a carpet on the floor, nice curtains on the window and a modern lamp on the ceiling. There are also pictures on the walls and a vase on the table.

In the dining room you can see a sideboard and a big table with chairs around it. The door of the dining room leads to the kitchen. The kitchen is not very big. There is a cupboard, a table, a refrigerator and a radio there.

My father’s garage is in the yard. We often go by car to the country to visit my aunt.
