I live in a comfortable city flat in a 9-stored block of flats not far from the centre of Samara. It is not a very green place, but still there are many trees around the house and in summer the yard looks very beautiful and cozy. The house is located comfortably because there a few supermarkets, pharmacies around and a cinema.

My flat is on the fourth floor. It’s very comfortable and well-planned. There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony overlooking the yard.

We have all modern conveniences, such as central heating, electricity, cold and hot running water and a telephone. The largest room in our flat is the living room. My family uses it as a sitting room. There is a sofa, two armchairs, a small glass coffee table, a TV set on the wall and a DVD player in it. We use this room to meet the guests and to celebrate all holidays and important family occasions.

Two other rooms are a bedroom of my parents and my bedroom. My room is rather small but it is very cozy. I like it so much, because this is my own place, my own corner.

I have all the things that I need there – a soft bed at the right corner, a table near the window with a computer and a wardrobe near the wall.

Our kitchen is not very large but it’s light. It’s very well-equipped. We have got a refrigerator, a microwave oven, an electric teapot, a coffee maker and a toaster and a lot of other household stuff. My mum likes cooking very much and in the evenings my family likes having dinner together in the kitchen – it’s our family tradition.
