Text 2 Kelly’s house

Hi, my name is Kelly, I live in London. I want to tell you about my apartment.

I live with my family in a two leveled apartment house on the second floor.

Our apartment has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, running cold and hot water, telephone, an elevator, and a chute.

Our apartment consists of a great-room, a kitchen, a dinette zone, two bedrooms, master suite, a study and two balconies.

The living room is the largest and the most comfortable room in our apartment. It has a big balcony.

There are blue sofas with two blue armchairs, and a low table with a TV-set. There is a thick blue carpet on the floor, and there are light blue wallpapers on its walls. We call it a blue room.

My bedroom is smaller and not so light. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing-table, a desk and an armchair in it. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books, magazines and girl stuff. I like to invite my friend to my room.

Our kitchen is handily arranged: there is a gas-stove, a fridge, a deep sink, built-up cupboards and a table that folds against the wall when not in use. I like to sit there with my mother late at night and drink hot chocolate. I like my apartment very much and I will miss my home when I go to college.
