I have got a brother of fourteen. I think, you can understand what a trouble a teenager can be. Sometimes I suppose everything is wrong with him. And when you have a look at his room you stand amazed in some kind of a shock. Nick papered two walls with the paper of blue colour and the other two walls with pale orange. There are Venetian blinds of bright orange colour on the window. Only the ceiling is of a common white colour. On the door one can see some metal construction with different notes for him clipped with the help of magnets. I can't say there is no furniture in the room but everything is in great mess. There is a sofa at the wall near the door. And on the sofa one can see a lot of books – fantasies, textbooks, books on his favourite PC and in the middle of this mess there is a guitar. All cushions are on the floor at the opposite wall put one onto another and on the top there is Nick's pet, a fat and lazy cat Sebastian sleeping. At the window there is the only piece of furniture with an ideal order on it– his desk with a PC and a shelf with CD-disks. There is also a desk lamp. Near the desk he has got an old half-broken armchair of dark brown leather. Long time ago that armchair belonged to Nick's granddad. Opposite the window there is a huge wardrobe with all his clothes and footwear. From time to time something falls out of that wardrobe and Nick again pushes it inside. You can find his socks under the sofa, on the windowsill, and books can be everywhere but not on the bookshelf. When his friends come to see him they prefer to sit on a large thick carpet spread in the middle. Of course, Nick does not want to have any tables and all treats (угощение) he arranges on a small bench covered with an Indian silk scarf taken from the mum. To round it all up I must mention about his ultra-modern musical centre standing on a low chest-of-drawers at the sofa. It's the main trouble because it is turned on to the full (включен на полную мощь) always when my brother is at home.
