My Place

• neither … nor — ни … ни…

• It’s a pity! — Жаль!

I live in a flat. It is neither big nor small. It is on the fifth floor. Our flat has two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall. Our living room is big. It is light because it has a large window. To the left of the window there is a piano. To the right of the window there is an old wardrobe. In the middle of the room there is a big round table. We often gather together at this table and play table games. On the walls there are beautiful paintings of modern artists. I have my own room. It is small. It hasn’t got much furniture but it is very cosy. It is a pity that there is no balcony in my room. Our kitchen is big and comfortable. We have a big fridge and a microwave oven. We usually have breakfast and supper in the kitchen. I like my flat.
