A HOUSE-WARMING PARTY

My aunt has a new flat in Lenin Street. It’s a two-room flat in a new big house. The flat is on the second floor. The house faces a beautiful park.

My aunt bought new furniture: a large wardrobe, a sofa, two armchairs, six chairs, a bookcase and some other things.

The furniture in the living-room and in the bedroom is dark. The furniture in the kitchen is light. A new big snow- white refrigerator stands in the kitchen. That and the yellow curtains over the window make the kitchen beautiful.

Mother says that my aunt is lucky because there is a telephone in her new flat.

Last Sunday my aunt had a house-warming party. She got lots of presents: cups, forks and knives and many others. Her friends made her two wonderful presents: a big mirror and a vacuum-cleaner. My grandparents gave her a washing-machine as a present.

My aunt cooked a lot of tasty things for that day.

One of my aunt’s friends, who is fond of playing jokes, brought a beautiful blue box and said, “This is my present to you on a house-warming day. I’m sure it’ll bring you much luck. Open it right now!” The aunt opened the box and. a funny little red kitten jumped out of the box! We all laughed very much.

We had a lot of fun that day.
