My home town (Любимцева, С. Н. p. 79)

I'd like to tell you about my home town. I live in Tver. It's an old Russian town near Moscow. There are many places of interest in the central part: a theatre, two museums, several beautiful churches, some old buildings. The houses are small and the streets are narrow.

There is a new district in the suburbs of the town with wide and long streets. The houses there are modern and comfortable and the flats arc larger than in the old houses. But there are not many shops and cinemas there.

My parents have got a flat in the new district. There is a living-room, a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom in their flat. The living-room is larger than the bedroom. It is a nice and comfortable room, it is light and airy. There are beautiful curtains on the windows. There is a table and four chairs, a sofa and two armchairs there too. There is a colour TV-set in the corner of the room. There is a nice green carpet on the floor. My parents have got a lot of Russian and English books. They are in the bookcase and on the shelves.

The bedroom is smaller than the living-room. There is not much furniture there. There are two beds, a dressing-table and a wardrobe in the bedroom.

The kitchen is not very large. There is a kitchen-table, two chairs, a cupboard and a big fridge in it.

I like to go to my home town when I am on holiday. My parents are always happy to see me.
