First of all I must say that I am most concerned about the place where I live. It doesn’t matter wheather my house is small or large, modern or old. The atmosphere is more important. It should be a place you want to stay and want to return to. I agree with the proverb: «East or West home is best». Your house must be a place where you can relax, come back with pleasure.
Now I’d like to say a few words about my house. So, I live on the outskirts of the town. It is rather far from the centre of the city and what is more important it is far from traffic. I have a detached house. I like fresh air. My house is surrounded by trees, bushes and there are many flowers and a pond in the garden. It is one-storeyed building. The house has the back entrance. It is a terrace. There are 4 rooms on the ground floor. It is a living room, two bedrooms and a study-room. Also there is a large kitchen, a bathroom and a small enterance hall. We have all modern conveniences, such as heating, electricity, gas, hot and cold running water and a telephone. Of course we don’t have a chute.
Our living room is the largest one. There is a large window, a window-door, a TV set, a sofa, two armchairs and a fireplace. We like to gather together in winter here watching the fire and talking about everything. The kitchen is rather small. But there is everything what is necessary: a round table, a cupboard, a fridge, a cooker. Also there is a big aquarium. I like to spend time in my bedroom. It is a big room where you can find a large bed, a wardrobe, a mirror and an armchair. Other bedroom is smaller. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a table and a chair. The computer and bookshelves are in the study. My bathroom provides me with convenience. There is a nice mirror, a rack for towels, a bath-tab and a basin. The entrance hall is small. There is a hall-stand and a mirror. The telephone is on a special table under the mirror. I try to keep my flat clean.
Of course, I am looking forward to improving my household conditions. I hope it is not in a distant future. I like my house. It is comfortable and cosy. Everything here is dear andprecious to me. Many pleasant and happy moments of my life are connected with my home. I believe that the house starts to be the home when it is warmed by the people who live in it, isn’t it?
