OUR FLAT

We live in a nice neighbourhood.

There are blocks of flats on both sides of the street. Our building has five storeys. We live on the second floor. We have a large three-roomed flat.

There is a sitting-room, my room and my parents’ bedroom in the flat. Besides there is a kitchen and a bathroom. The walls are three metres high. This is a photo of our family in the sitting-room. Look at it. You can see a table in the middle of the room. There is a small table with a TV set by the window to the left. There are several chairs, a sofa and a bookcase. The man sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper is my father. The woman sitting in the chair is my mother and the woman standing by the TV is my sister. The boy and the girl playing with the dog on the floor are her children. The man watching the TV is my sister’s husband. We like spending time together.
