My home

We have a nice flat rather far from the centre of the city. It is in a new sixteen-storeyed high-rise building in Gagarin Avenue. As there are so many storeys in the building it has two lifts.

Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences. 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 living room we have a square dinner-table with six chairs round it. There is a hanging lamp above the table. 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 with a piano stool before it. Between the two large windows there is a little table with a 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 table is for newspapers and magazines. The walls of the living-room are light-green and there are a few water-colours on them.

The bedroom is smaller than the living-room and not as light as there is only one window in it. In this room there are two beds with a bedside table between them. In the left-hand corner there is a dressing-table with a big mirror. In this room we have a built-in wardrobe. There is a thick carpet on the floor and plain light-brown curtains on the window.

The third room is the study. It is not so large as dining-room but it is as cosy as all the other rooms. There is not much furniture in it, only the most necessary pieces. It has a writing-desk with drawers to keep paper in. There is a phone on the left. Just behind it there is a reading lamp. There are books on

the shelves all round the walls. A small table with a stereo-system is standing in the left corner. Near it there is a sofa with some cushions. In my opinion the study is the best room in our flat.
