Wе live in three-room flat. The room I like best in our flat is mine. I use my room as a study and a bedroom. It is very nice and cosy. There isn't much furniture in it, only the most necessary pieces. The built-in furniture doesn't take much space in the room. On the left there is my bed and desk. The desk has a lot of drawers where I keep my text-books, notes, pens, pencils and other necessary things. On the right there is a sofa and a built-in wardrobe. In the right corner there is a comfortable arm-chair. Beside it stands a lamp with blue shade. I like to turn on the lamp, sit in the arm-chair and read an interesting book. There are some shelves with books in my room. You can see Russion and English books there. There is a big thick carpet on the floor. There are some posters with my favourite singers on the wall. I like my room very much. When my friends come to visit me, I invite them into my room. My room is a nice place for both rest and work.

   My family lives in a three-room flat of a typical block of flats with a lift and rubbish chute. Our flat is on the sixth floor. As you enter the flat you find yourself in a small hall and from there you can go to the living room, my parents' bedroom and my room.
   I use my room as a study and a bedroom. My room is very tiny but still it's rather cosy and has its advantages. The only window in my room looks out on the park. The walls are papered in a design of white and silver stripes, and the curtains on the window match the wallpaper. The built-in furniture doesn't take much space in the room. On the left, there is a built-in wardrobe and a sofa, next to it — a writing table. The table has got many drawers and I keep there my text-books, notes, lead and coloured pencils, felt-pens, biros, refills, pencil-cases, pencil-sharpeners, booklets, posters, pads and other necessary knick-knacks, as my mother is used to say. In the right corner beside the writing table there's a standard lamp with a pink silk shade and a comfortable arm-chair.
   I like to sit in it muffling myself into a plaid and read a thrilling book. Opposite the wardrobe there is a bookcase full of books newspapers, journals, magazines. The floor in my room is parquet, that's why there is neither a carpet nor a rug on it. There are a lot of flowers in my room; they are everywhere — on the window-sill, on the walls and on the bookcase. I take care of the flowers, water them, plant them out, cut dead ij leaves, and once a month I take them to the bathroom and scour them.
   My room is a nice place for both rest and work.
