Topic "My Home"

My Home

     My name is … . First, I will tell you about English homes, then – about my home.
     Many English families live in flats, but a lot of people have got their own houses. There are two floors in the traditional English house: the ground floor and the first floor. The bedrooms and a bathrooms are upstairs on the first floor. The sitting room, the dining room and the study are downstairs on the ground floor. The kitchen and the hall are downstairs on the ground floor, too.
     The sitting room is usually the largest room in the house. English people often spend evenings in armchairs near the fireplace. They read books, watch TV, listen to music or sit around and talk. They like their homes and often say, “East or West, home is best”.
      Now I would like to tell you about my home. I live in Russia, in Saint Petersburg, which is a big city. We live in a flat. There is/are 1/2/3/4 rooms in our flat: my parents’ room, my room, a living room, … . We also have a kitchen, a hall, a bathroom and a toilet. My room is small, but comfortable. [ПОДРОБНОЕ описание своей комнаты] I like my room very much.
   And, where do you live? How many rooms are there in your flat? Is there a park near your house? Can you tell me, please?
