I live in a large private house on a quiet street. My house has two floors, a basement and an attic. We also have a garage and a workshop. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a hall and a parents room. My room is on the second floor. Our house is very beautiful. Dad built it himself.
Our rooms
When guests come to us, mother sets the table in the hall. This is the largest and brightest room in our house. The living room is very comfortable because it has a fireplace. We love to gather in front of him in the evenings, drink tea and watch the fire. In front of the fireplace lies a white fluffy carpet. I often lie on it and read a book.
My house has a beautiful kitchen. On it, mom prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for me and dad. On weekends, mom bakes pies or cookies. When I come from the street or from school, I always expect something delicious. Mom cooks deliciously. In my room I spend the most time. It has a bed, a computer desk and a bookcase. A world map is hanging on the wall. I love to study the map, countries and oceans. On the shelves are models of ships that we made with dad.
I also really like our attic. From its window you can see the whole street and the river. Looking at her, I imagine myself a sailor. When I finish school, I will go sailing with the captain of a beautiful white ship.
Favorite Garden
Behind the house we have a beautiful garden. It grows an old apple tree, cherry and pear. In spring, the trees bloom very beautifully, it seems that they are covered with snow. Last year, dad planted another apple tree. I will definitely plant my tree too.
In addition to trees, in the garden there is a gazebo and pool. In the summer we fry kebabs with parents. And when classmates or friends from the street come to me, we swim in the pool. It is very funny.
My mother loves flowers very much. Therefore, she smashed large flower beds in front of the entrance to the house. We grow roses, petunias, cornflowers and large daisies. And in the fall chrysanthemums bloom. They can stand until winter. Mother's flower beds are a real decoration of our yard.
I really love our house. It is warm and cozy. We are always glad to guests, therefore, the house always sounds laughter and fun.
Объяснение:
Местоимение WHO
Рассмотрим каждое из этих местоимений более подробно.
Особенность местоимения who (который, которого) – это то, что оно употребляется только по отношению к лицам и выполняет в придаточном предложении функцию подлежащего:
E.g. I see a boy who is drawing.
Я вижу мальчика, который рисует. (Рис. 3)
The girl who gave me the book has gone.
Девочка, которая дала мне книгу, ушла.
There was somebody who wanted you.
Здесь был кто-то, кто искал тебя.
I know (don’t know) who did it.
Я знаю (не знаю), кто сделал это.
Местоимение WHOSE
Очень похоже внешне на who местоимение whose (который, которого, чей). Употребляется это местоимение по отношению к лицам.
E.g. That’s the man whose car has been stolen.
Вот тот человек, машину которого украли.
Do you know the man whose house we saw yesterday?
Знаете ли вы человека, дом которого мы видели вчера?
Do you know whose book it is?
Ты знаешь, чья это книга?
I wonder whose house that is.
Интересно, чей это дом.
Местоимение WHICH
Теперь мы рассмотрим местоимение which (который, которого, что). В отличие от предыдущих местоимений, which употребляется по отношению к неодушевленным предметам и животным. К тому же, оно считается книжным и в разговорном стиле обычно заменяется местоимением that.
E.g. He ordered coffee which (that) was promptly brought.
Он заказал кофе, который сразу же и принесли. (Рис. 5)
I’m looking for jeans, which (that) are less expensive.
Я ищу джинсы, которые были бы дешевле (менее дорогие).
Местоимение THAT
И напоследок у нас остается местоимение that (который, которого). В роли определения местоимение that часто заменяет местоимения who и which в обычной разговорной речи. Может употребляться по отношению к лицам, но чаще употребляется по отношению к неодушевленным предметам:
E.g. They could not find anybody that (who) knew the town.
Они не могли найти никого, кто бы знал город.
Did you see the letter that had come today?
Вы видели письмо, которое пришло сегодня? (Рис. 6)
The news that (which) he brought upset us all.
Известие, которое он принес, огорчило нас всех.
