My House is my castle Our house is quite new. We moved there not so long ago. It is a nice two-storeyed red brick building with a grey roof. It has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water. The windows are large. A wide grey stone path leads to the porch. On the both sides of the path you can see colourful flowerbeds. The house is surrounded with a spacious garden where we plant fruit, vegetables and flowers. This year my parents are going to build swimming pool in the garden. In summer our relatives like to come here and enjoy vacation. In winter we decorate our Christmas tree outside, so everyone can see how wonderful it is to have own house. All the members of our family like the ground floor. The ground floor of the house is much busier than the first one. We are changing the design of the ground floor at the moment. Here you can find a hall, a large living-room with a fireplace, a cosy dining-room connected with a kitchen, a bathroom. The view from the windows in our living-room is amazing. Our guests admire the picturesque scenery of the wood and the river. There is an artificial fire-place in the wall and a fluffy carpet on the parquet floor in the middle of the room. We often lie on it watching films on TV. But the warmest place in our house is the kitchen where we cook and have meals at a big wooden table. The gas-stove, the fridge and the sideboard for dishes and glassware are built-in. We use all modern kitchen gadgets here: an electric kettle, a microwave oven, a dish-washer, a coffee machine, a food processor, a toaster. We often gather together in the dining-room or the living-room and talk, have dinner, and celebrate holidays. The unique feature of the ground floor is its winter garden where tropical kinds of plants and flowers grow all year round. We should be thankful to our mother for this garden which is the most beautiful corner in the whole house. The first floor is a calm place. There are three small bedrooms, a library, a bathroom and a balcony upstairs. The library is equipped with lots of bookshelves, two comfortable armchairs, a desk and an office chair. The library is a perfect place to do the homework, do some paperwork and read. In the bedrooms there are beds, wardrobes, mirrors. The atmosphere in the bedrooms is very comforting. When the weather is fine we bring chairs and a table to the balcony and enjoy warm evenings outside. Besides of these rooms I have a room of my own. According to my taste I chose the wallpaper for the walls and the furniture: a sofa with lovely cushions, a wardrobe, a writing desk and a floor lamp. The window is framed with silk curtains. The floor in my room is covered with wall-to-wall carpeting. I love my bedroom, it’s very cozy and warm. When I think about our house I am sure it is the best place on the Earth. I like the English proverb: "My home is my castle" because my house is, indeed, my castle. ACTIVE VOCABULARY

Valeria: Oh, sounds lovely! I think a detached house is much better than a flat. Zhanna: Yes. We have more space now for different activities. For example, we can play ping-pong or basketball in the backyard. Valeria: That’s great! And, how many rooms are there in the house? Zhanna: There are three bedrooms upstairs and a living-room downstairs. The kitchen is also downstairs. Valeria: How about the bathroom? Zhanna: We have two of them: one — upstairs and one — downstairs. Valeria: So, you have your own room now, is that right? Zhanna: Yes, that’s right. Before we moved I had to share a room with my little brother, as our flat had only two bedrooms. Valeria: I remember. You invited me twice or even more.

We watch TV, play computer games, rest at the sofa, read books, have family parties and everyday dinners there. Valeria: How about your bedroom? Is it spacious? Zhanna: It’s smaller that the living-room.There is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk with a chair, a TV and a bookshelf. There is a thick carpet on the floor, so we can sit on it and play chess. Valeria: Oh, that’s great! I wish we could move to a detached house too. Zhanna: Your flat is also rather spacious. Valeria: Yes, there are four bedrooms in it, but we don’t have the special playground for games. Zhanna: I see. It’s really good to have the place where you can play. We have a large garden now. I like the view of it. Valeria: What plants are there? Zhanna: My mother grows different vegetables. There are also many fruit trees. I hope next summer we’ll have own harvest. Valeria: There are definitely lots of benefits of living in the house 9. Compose your own report about your flat\house. |
