Where We Live

Part I

I have already told you about my family and myself. But I didn't mention about our dwelling. Actually people live either in multistoried buildings or private houses and cottages. Still some live in hostels, for non - residential students.

We live in a new flat in one of the largest residential areas. We moved into it five years ago. It is on the fourth floor flat. It consists of a living-room, a study, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, toilet or lavatory, and closets. It has two balconies and all modern conveniences: running cold and hot water, electricity, central heating, telephone. There is a lift and a rubbish chute in our building. Our flat faces the Dnieper river and the view is wonderful.
