Our house is very large and comfortable. Although it's got only one floor, it has all the amenities and space for each family member. There is a large entrance hall which has a clothes rack and shelves for shoes. Right from the hallway you will find yourself in the spacious corridor and if you turn right, you can enter the living room where we spend time together, watching TV or just talking about the day's events. If you go left, you will find yourself in the dining room where there is a large table and six chairs. Here we have lunch, breakfast and dinner. From the dining room you can go to our kitchen. It is spacious and very modern. We have a lot of household appliances: a fridge,a stove, a dishwasher, a mixer, a blender, a bread maker, a microwave and various necessary devices for cooking. Then you can pass in a small hall where you'll find the door to the bathroom and toilet. If you go right you'll see my room and my parents' bedroom. My room is wonderful, it is large and bright. I have everything I need: a computer desk, a sofa, two armchairs, a wardrobe, a large mirror and a lot of posters on the walls. The parents' room is also great, but I rarely go there. We have a wonderful home!
Наш дом очень большой и уютный. Хотя он одноэтажный, в нем есть все удобства и место для каждого члена семьи. В нашем доме большая прихожая, в которой есть вешалка для одежды и полки для обуви. Сразу из прихожей вы очутитесь в просторном коридоре и, если свернете направо, то можете войти в зал, в котором мы проводим время все вместе по вечерам, смотря телевизор или просто разговаривая о событиях дня. Если из коридора вы пойдете налево, вы очутитесь в столовой, где стоит большой стол и стулья. Здесь мы обедаем, завтракаем и ужинаем. Из столовой вы можете пройти в нашу кухню. Она просторная и очень современная. У нас много бытовой техники: холодильник, плита, посудомоечная машина, миксер, блендер, хлебопечка, микроволновая печь и разные очень нужные устройства для приготовления пищи. Из коридора вы можете пройти в маленький холл, в котором найдете дверь в ванную комнату и туалет. Если вы пройдете прямо, то увидите мою комнату и спальню моих родителей. Моя комната замечательная, она большая и светлая. У меня есть все необходимое для меня: компьютерный стол, диван, два кресла, шкаф для одежды, большое зеркало и много плакатов на стене. Комната родителей тоже большая, но я редко туда захожу. У нас замечательный дом!
