MY FLAT (2)

         Our house is a short walk from the trolleybus stop. We live in panel house on the fourth floor. Our flat has all modem con­veniences: central heating, gas, electricity, running cold and hot water, telephone, a lift and a chute. Our flat consists of three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall.

        First there is a small hall with a mirror and small table with a telephone on it.

        The three roоms of our flat are: a living-room, a bedroom, my study. The floor is parquet in the rooms and linoleum in the kitchen. There is a thick carpet on the floor in the living- room. All the rooms are papered with wallpaper of different pattern and colour.

         The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. It’s a large room with a balcony. In the middle of the room there is a table with some chairs around it. There is a sofa with two armchairs and a low table with a TV-set on the left-hand side of the room. On the right-hand side there is a cupboard. There is a bookcase near it.

          The bedroom is smaller and not so light. There are two beds, a wardrobe, a dressing-table in it.

           The room I like best is my study. It is nice and cosy. It has a bed, a desk and an armchair. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books, magazins, newspapers.

          The kitchen is handily arranged: there is a gas-stove, a fridge, a deep sink, built-in cupboards and a table that folds against the wall when not in use.

          I like our flat very much.
