The Flat We Live in

Recently our family moved into a new flat. It is in a block of flats not far from the centre of the town. Next to the block of flats there is a post-office, the Puppet Theatre, a number of small shops. My flat is on the second floor. It has all modern conveniences such as central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, a telephone and a chute to carry rubbish down. There is also a lift in the building. In front of the house there is a small garden with a few trees in it.

The flat is not very large but it is comfortable and well-planned. We have two rooms, a large kitchen and a bathroom in our flat. The living-room is the largest and the most comfortable room in the flat. In the left-hand corner there is a 1 it tie table with a TV set on it. Near the TV set there are two arm­chairs. A sofa and a bookcase are on the right-hand side.

The room on the right is my room. In my room I have got a big table. It is in front of the window, there are some photos and a camera on it. I like taking pictures. There is a record player on a small table next to the sofa. On the walls there are shelves full of books. There is a thick carpet on the floor.

In the kitchen there is a gas-stove to cook the meals, a sink with taps for cold and hot water to wash the dishes, a refrigerator to keep food. On the wall above the table we hung three kitchen cabinets to keep the cutlery, plates and cups. To the right of the table we placed a new cupboard. In the middle of the kitchen we have a table with several stools around it.

In the bathroom there is a bath with a shower and a wash-basin with a mirror over it. To the right of the mirror there is a towel-rail, to the left there is a shelf to keep tooth-paste, tooth-brushes and bars of soap on.
