My friend

I have many friends. Most of them are my former classmates but my best friend is Peter. He is sixteen. Now he is a student of a

college. He is a good student because he studies hard and is very diligent. He wants to become a good specialist and he is especially interested in computers. He often helps me with my English lessons and I’m grateful to him for that. English is one of his favorite subjects.

Now I want to tell you about his appearance. He is rather tall and strong. He has an oval face, straight

nose, dark hair, blue eyes and a nice smile. People find him good-looking.

Peter goes in for sports. He plays football and basketball well. His basketball team is very popular at the college.

We made friends with Peter when he and his family moved to our house. We have very much in common: we like the same music, we both like reading. In general my friend is a very interesting person: he is intelligent and well-read.

But the most important thing is that Peter is honest and kind. I can fully rely on him and trust everything to him. Peter has a

great sense of humor and I like to spend my free time with him.

I have another friend. Her name is Natasha. She is a schoolgirl. We live in the same block of flats, so we see each other almost every day. I like her very much. She is a blonde with blue eyes, she is slim and pretty. Her hair is long and she has a nice complexion. I like all my friends very much. I think they are all my faithful friends.

My Flat

We have a nice flat. It is not far from the center of the city. It is a new six- teen-storey building in Gagarin Avenue. There are two lifts in the house. Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences, such as central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot running water and a rubbish chute.

There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat.

The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. In the middle of the living-room we have a square dining-table with six chairs round it. There is a hanging lamp above the table. To the right of the dining-table there is a wall-unit which has several sections: a sideboard, a wardrobe and some shelves. At the opposite wall there is a piano.

Between the two large windows there is a little table with a color TV-set on it. There are two comfortable armchairs in front of the TV-set. In the left-hand corner there is a small round coffee-table, a sofa and a standard lamp. The walls of the living-room are light-green. There are some pictures on the walls.

My bedroom is smaller than the living-room, but it is very light and cosy. There is a bed on the right and a desk next to the window. There is a computer on the desk. On the left there is a wardrobe. There is a thick carpet on the floor and nice curtains on the window.
