We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fifth
floor of a nine-storied building. It has all modem conveniences: central
heating, running hot and cold water, electricity, gas, a lift and a chute to
carry rubbish down.
We have a three-room flat which consists of a
living-room, a bedroom, a
study (which is also my room), a kitchen, a bath-room and a toilet. There
are also two closets in our flat. Our flat has two balconies.
The living-room is the largest and most comfortable one in the flat. In the
middle of the room we have a square dinner-table with six chairs round it.
To the left 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 and a piano stool before it. To the right there is a little
table with colour TV set on it. Opposite the TV set there are two cozy
armchairs. A divan-bed and a standard lamp are in the left-hand corner. In
front of the armchairs there is a small round table for newspapers and
magazines. There is a thick carpet on the floor. Two water-colours hung on
the wall above the divan-bed. In the evening we usually draw the curtains
across the windows, and a red lampshade gives a warm colour to the room.
The bedroom is smaller than the living-room and not so light as there is
only one window in it. In this room there are two beds, two dressing-tables
and a wardrobe. In the corner of the bedroom there is a small colors TV set.
On the dressing table there is an alarm-clock and small lamp with green
lamp-shade.
Our study is the smallest room in the flat, but in spice of
it, it is
very cozy. There isn't much furniture in it, but there are a lot of shelves
full of books. It has a writing table, an armchair and a bookcase too. A
small round table with cassette-recorder is standing in the right-hand
corner of the study. Besides there is a small sofa near the wall opposite
the bookcase. This room was my father's study, but as I grew older, it has
become my room. And in my opinion it is the best room in our flat. My
friends used to come to my place to have a chat or to play chess in the
evening, and they say my room is very comfortable. I share their opinion.
