Our flat is not large but it is very cosy. There are two rooms in our flat. There is a living-room and a bedroom in our flat. There is a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet there, too.

Our living room is light and comfortable. There is only one window in it, but it’s very large. There is modern furniture in our living-room. There is a wall-unit, a TV-set, a sofa, two armchairs and a table in the room. There is a large carpet on the floor. There are some pictures on the walls.
