House of My Dream — Дом моей мечты

Everyone likes dreaming. Dream is a hope for better things. It helps us to overcome the difficulties of our daily routine. A dream depends on people, on their education, nationality, character and other things. People imagine they have a lot of money, own family, an expensive car. Other people imagine themselves to be presidents of different countries or whole planets, etc.
I’d like to tell you about the house of my dream. I’d like to have my own house on the bank of a beautiful river with crystal water, surrounded by high mountains, covered with green forest of evergreen trees.
I would live there with my wife and two children. I imagine my house to be a 2 storeyed building. Near the front side it has a facade with columns and steps up to the front door. There are also two balconies and a terrace in my house. The windows are in the shape of arches. Through them you can see a wonderful landscape. There are lots of fir trees and flowers around the house. And you

can walk in the shade of these trees listening to the birds singing.
As you come through the front door, you find yourself in a large hall with an open fireplace. One of the doors leads to the living room. This room faces the south, so it’s very sunny and has a lovely view of the whole valley. In the middle of this room there’s a thick Persian carpet.
There are few units of furniture in this room. On the left there’s a leather sofa and small table nearby, on the right you can see home cinema and satellite receiver. There are two armchairs in the corner of this room. In the living room we spend our evenings chatting with each other, children play with a kitten.
Then a wide staircase takes you to the first floor where there are four bedrooms. My children’s rooms are really vast. The wallpapers are very colourful in bright shapes. Also there are lots of toys to play with.
In the basement there is a big garage for our cars. We have got two cars: one for me and one for my wife.
Behind the house there is a swimming bath, covered with glass. There are some plastic armchairs around
the swimming bath. Our house looks peaceful and calm and the calmest room is my study. Next door to the study there is our library. It is a huge room with thousands books on history, astronomy, physics, science fictions, fantasy, poetry, etc. Someone might think that it is an antagonism, because everything we want to read we can receive via Internet, but I like real books, to handle them in my hands, to read them page by page. As for my children, they prefer associating with their friends.
We have many different electrical appliances in our house. They make our life more comfortable. Also we have some robots to help us. They look after the house, grow vegetables in our garden and involved in cooking. So, we enjoy having greens and fresh vegetables on our dinner table during long winters. Our house is a beautiful place at any time of the year. In winter it’s warm and cozy, in summer there is so much to do outside.

Дом моей мечты

Каждому нравится помечтать. Мечта подобна надежде о лучшем. Она помогает нам преодолевать трудности нашей повседневной жизни. Мечта зависит от людей, от их образования, национальности, характера и других вещей. Люди мечтают о том, что у них много денег, семья, дорогой автомобиль. Другие воображают себя президентами каких-либо стран или целой планеты, и т. д.
Я хотел бы рассказать вам о доме моей мечты. Я хотел бы, чтобы мой дом находился на берегу красивой реки с кристально чистой водой, окруженный высокими горами, покрытыми зеленым лесом вечнозеленых деревьев.
Я жил бы там со своей женой и двумя детьми. Я воображаю, что мой дом будет двухэтажным. Возле передней стороны есть фасад с колоннами и ступени, ведущие к входной двери. В моем доме есть также два балкона и терраса. Окна в форме арок. Сквозь них можно увидеть замечательный ландшафт. Вокруг дома много елок и цветов. И можно пройтись в тени этих деревьев и послушать пение птиц.
Входя через переднюю дверь, вы попадаете в большой зал с открытым камином. Одна из дверей ведет в гостиную комнату. Эта комната выходит на юг, так что здесь очень солнечно и открывается прекрасный вид на всю долину. В центре этой комнаты находится толстый персидский ковер.
В этой комнате немного мебели. С левой стороны находится кожаный диван и небольшой столик неподалеку, справа можно увидеть домашний кинотеатр и спутниковый телеприемник. В углу комнаты находятся два кресла. В гостиной комнате мы проводим наши вечера, болтаем друг с другом, дети играют с котенком.
Затем широкая лестница приводит вас на второй этаж, где находятся четыре спальни. Комнаты моих детей действительно большие. Обои очень красочные, ярких цветов. Также здесь есть много игрушек, с которыми они играют.
В подвале находится большой гараж для наших автомобилей. У нас две машины: одна для меня и одна для моей жены.
Позади дома расположен плавательный бассейн, крытый стеклом. Вокруг плавательного бассейна находится несколько пластмассовых стульев. Наш дом выглядит мирным и спокойным, самая тихая комната — мой кабинет. По соседству с кабинетом находится библиотека. Это — огромная комната, в которой находятся тысячи книг по истории, астрономии, физике, научной фантастике, фэнтази, поэзии, и т. д. Кто-то может подумать, что это — антагонизм, потому что все, что мы хотели бы почитать, мы можем получать через Интернет, но я люблю настоящие книги, люблю держать их в своих руках, читать их страница за страницей. Что касается» моих детей, они предпочитают общаться со своими друзьями.
У нас в доме много электрических приборов. Они делают нашу жизнь более комфортной. Также у нас несколько роботов, которые нам помогают. Они заботятся о доме, выращивают овощи в нашем саду и занимаются приготовлением еды. Да, мы любим, чтобы долгой зимой на нашем обеденном столе были зелень и свежие овощи. Наш дом является красивым местом в любое время года. Зимой — тепло и удобно, летом — так много всего интересного вокруг.
