My Flat — Моя квартира (1)

We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, a lift and a chute to carry rubbish down. There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat. The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. In the middle of the room we have a square-table with six chairs round it. To the right of the dinner-table there is a wall-unit which has several sections: a sideboard, a wardrobe and some shelves.
At the opposite wall there is a piano and stool before it. Between the two large windows there is a little table with a colour TV set on it. Near the TV set there are two cosy armchairs. A small round table, a divan-bed and a standard lamp are in the left-hand corner. This small table is for newspapers and magazines. My father is used to having a rest sitting on this divan-bed reading books, newspapers, magazines or watching TV.
The bedroom

is smaller than the living-room and not so light as there is only one window in it. In this room there are two beds with a bedside-table between them. An alarm-clock and a small lamp with a pink lamp-shade are on the table. In the left-hand corner there is a dressing-table with a big mirror.. In this room we have a built-in wardrobe with coat-hangers to-hang clothes on. There is a thick carpet on the floor and plain light-brown curtains on the window.
The third room is my study. It is not large but very cosy. There isn’t much furniture in it, only the most necessary. It has a writing-table and an armchair before it. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books, magazines and newspapers. A small table with a radio is standing in the left-hand corner. Near it there is a sofa with some cushions. In my opinion, the study is the best room in our flat.
But the warmest place in our flat is the kitchen, I think — the place where the whole family gathers every evening not only to have supper together, but also to speak and rest. I like the English proverb: «My home is my castle» because
my flat is, indeed, my castle.

Моя квартира (1)

У нас хорошая квартира в новом многоквартирном доме. Наша квартира на четвертом этаже, в ней есть все современные удобства: центральное отопление, газ, электричество, холодная и горячая вода, лифт и мусоропровод. В квартире три комнаты, кухня, ванная комната, прихожая. Гостиная — самая большая и удобная комната в квартире. В центре комнаты стоит квадратный обеденный стол и шесть стульев. Справа от стола стоит мебельная стенка. Она состоит из нескольких секций: серванта, шкафа, нескольких полок.
У противоположной стороны — пианино со стульчиком. Между двумя большими окнами находится маленький столик с цветным телевизором. Около телевизора два уютных кресла. В левом углу находится маленький круглый столик, диван и торшер. Этот маленький столик предназначен для газет и журналов. Папа привык отдыхать, сидя на диване, читать книги, газеты, журналы или смотреть телевизор.
Спальня меньше по размеру, чем гостиная, и не такая светлая, потому что в ней только одно окно. В этой комнате находятся две кровати и между ними тумбочка. На тумбочке стоит будильник и небольшая лампа с розовым абажуром. В левом углу — туалетный столик с большим зеркалом. В этой комнате есть встроенный шкаф с вешалками для одежды. На полу лежит толстый ковер, а на окнах висят однотонные светло-коричневые шторы.
Третья комната — мой кабинет. Она небольшая, но очень уютная. В ней мало мебели, только самое необходимое. Здесь находится письменный стол с креслом. В правом углу — книжный шкаф с книгами, журналами, газетами. Небольшой столик с радио стоит в левом углу. Возле него находится диван с подушками. По-моему, этот кабинет — самая лучшая комната в нашей квартире.
Но самое теплое место в нашей квартире — это кухня, место, где вся семья собирается каждый вечер не только для того, чтобы поужинать вместе, но также и для того, чтобы поговорить и отдохнуть. Мне нравится английская пословица: «Мой дом — моя крепость», потому что моя квартира — действительно, моя крепость.
