Read and translate the text. My flat
My family lives in a 9-storeyed building, which is situated near the city center. There is a kindergarten, a school, several shops and a cafe not far from the house.
We have an elevator in our block of flats. We live on the seventh floor, that’s why we’re glad that we needn’t to walk up.
Our flat is very comfortable and cosy. It consists of three rooms: my parents’ bedroom, my room and a living room. It also includes a kitchen, a hallway and a bathroom. Our flat is provided with all modern conveniences: cold and hot running water, electricity, central heating.
A living room is the biggest one in our flat. It has a long table with several chairs round in the middle. To the right of the table, there is a big wall unit with a wardrobe and different shelves. Opposite the table, a small table with a TV set on it. There is a nice sofa with two armchairs from the other side. The floor is covered with a beautiful carpet with patterns. There are some pictures and photos on the walls.

parents’ bedroom is cosy. There is a bed with two dressing tables
and small lamps on each of them.
My room is the smallest one. It’s very bright. There is a desk, an armchair, a wardrobe and a bed. There are a lot of books on the shelves, because I like to read. There is also a computer on my desk.
Our kitchen is big enough. In the middle there is a dining-table with chairs. Opposite it, there is a cupboard with cooking utensils. There is a refrigerator to the right and a sink to the left. Our kitchen is well-equipped. It has a toaster, a microwave and a coffee maker. We like to spend evenings in our cosy kitchen, to drink tea and talk.
I like my flat very much as it is one of some places, where I feel comfortable and relaxed.
