I live together with my parents in a new district in Smolensk. Our apartment is on the third floor in a big multistoried building. There are three rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom in our apartment. We have all modern conveniences, such as hot andcold running water, gas, electricity, central heating and a telephone.

The living-room is the largest one in our apartment. We sometimes have meals here and watch TV. The walls of our living-room are light green. The curtains over the window match the walls. You can see a wall unit, a sofa, two armchairs, a table, a piano and a TV set in the room. There is a thick carpet on the floor. Two water-colours and an oil-painting hang on the walls. The table is in the middle of theroom. There are some chairsround it. The wall unit is next to the door. The sofa and the piano are near the opposite wall.

The bedroom is also rather big. There are two beds and a small table between them, a wardrobe and some chairs in this room.

The third room is my study. There is a desk, two bookcases and many book-shelves with lots of books in my study. Let me describe the study in detail. The writing-desk is rather big. To the right of the desk you can see a sofa and a small table with copies of some newspapers and magazines. The bookcases are on the other sideof the desk. On the opposite wall there are many shelves. The bookcases are filled with books. There are many books on the shelves, too. These are mostly English text-books, books in history, mathematics and fiction. I am fond of Russian literature and I like to read books by Gogol, Chekhov and Tolstoy. But sometimes when I am tired I pick up some detective story to relax. On the floor of my study there is a carpet. I spend much time in this room, reading, writing, getting ready for my classes.

Our kitchen is not large. We usually have our meals here. There is a gas-stove, a sink with two taps – for hot and cold water – and a refrigerator in it. We can also see here a kitchen-table, covered with white plastic, and a few white chairs.

In our bathroom we see a bath-tub, a shower, a shelf for toilet articles and a towel-rack.

I like my apartment very much, it is light and comfortable.
