				MY FLAT 
				My family and I live in Moscow, in Leninsky Avenue. We live on 
				the seventh floor of a brick block of flats. Our flat is not 
				very big. There are three rooms in it: a kitchen, a bathroom and 
				a toilet. 
				Our living-room is small, but cozy. It is light, because there 
				is a big window in it. We usually sit there in the evening and 
				watch TV. There is a big bookcase on the left of the door, a 
				flat TV-set on the right and two chairs in front of it. There is 
				also a sofa by the window. In the middle of the room there is a 
				round table. We sometimes drink tea and have dinner in the 
				living-room. I like this room and our guests like it, too. 
				I have a brother, so we have one room. It is bigger than the 
				others, but I sometimes think that it is too small for the two 
				of us. There is a wall unit, two tables, a big window and two 
				beds in it. We have a TV-set with a DVD-player in our room too. 
				I like our room, but sometimes my brother makes a mess there and 
				I have to clean it. 
				My parents' bedroom is cozy, too. There is a big bed in the 
				middle, a large wardrobe for clothes, a computer and a stereo. 
				My brother usually plays computer games there. 
				The kitchen is very nice. The furniture is light brown and the 
				table is big. There is a microwave oven, a fridge and an oven 
				there. We usually have breakfast and supper in the kitchen. 
				Our bathroom is small, so we have to keep our washing-machine in 
				the kitchen. There is a big hall in our flat. When guests come 
				we dance in the hall. 
				I like my flat a lot and I think that it is very comfortable.
