HOME

The house we live in is our home, or in more official speech, our residence or dwelling. Some people live in individual houses. The town building may be five- or nine-storeyed (storied). There are multi-storeyed buildings too.
Our first floor is usually called the ground floor in England, and the second floor corresponds to the English first floor. Americans call the floors the same as we do: first, second, and so on.
Let us visit one of the modern flats of the apartment house in a big town. The flat is in a multi-storeyed building on the sixth floor. The family has recently moved into it. It is a three-room flat with all modern conveniences. The rooms are a living-room, a bedroom and a study.
The living-room is large. There are two windows in it. The windows face the park. In the evening all the family gather in the living-room to watch a TV programme, read newspapers or magazines or to receive guests. The room is well furnished. In the middle there stands a large square table with six chairs round it. On the table there is a vase with flowers. There are some arm-chairs and a sofa near the wall. Opposite the sofa there is a colour TV-set.
You can see a piano near the window. At the wall stands a sideboard. Crystal bowls, wine glasses, goblets, china dishes and special tea-sets stand on its shelves.
The walls in the living-room are papered blue and the curtains over the window match them. On the walls there hang some pictures. A thick carpet covers the floor.
The bedroom is also a cosy room. There is only one window with dark curtains over it. The window faces the yard. Against the wall there are two beds. In the corner there is a dressing-table with a mirror. Opposite it there is a dark wardrobe.
The small room is a study. Here the children do their homework. It is a simply furnished room. In the corner near the window there is a small writing-table with a lamp on it. A comfortable arm-chair stands near it. On the wall you can see shelves full of books, magazines and journals. In front of the window there stands a bookcase.
Besides these three rooms, the flat has a kitchen, a hall, a bathroom and a lavatory. The kitchen is not so small. The built-in furniture and all modern conveniences make housekeeping easy.
The bathroom has a built-in bath-tub with a shower and a washstand. There is a glass shelf over the wash-stand. You can see some sponges, soap-dishes, tooth-glasses with tooth-brushes, and some tubes of tooth-paste. You can take a shower or a bath any time.
Next to the bathroom there is a lavatory. In the hall you can see a hallstand for coats, hats and umbrellas. Besides there is a small table for the telephone.
So you can see, the flat is comfortable enough. Next week the family will give a housewarming.
