II. Read and translate the text: Home
Home, sweet home. It does not matter what your home is like – a country mansion, a more modest and detached house, a flat in a block of flats. Anyway, it is the place where you once move in and start to furnish and decorate it to your own taste. It becomes your second “ego”.
Your second “ego” is very big and disquieting if you have a house. There is enough space for everything: a hall, a kitchen with an adjacent dining-room, a living-room or a lounge, a couple of bed-rooms and closets (storerooms) a toilet and a bathroom. You can walk around the house thinking what else you can do to renovate it. In the hall you cast a glance at the coatrack and a shoerack. Probably, nothing needs to be changed here.
You come to the kitchen: kitchen furniture, kitchen utensils, a refrigerator (fridge) with a freezer, a dish-drainer, an electric or gas cooker with an oven. Maybe, it needs a cooker hood?
The dining-room is lovely. A big dining table with chairs in the centre, a cupboard with tea sets and dinner sets. There is enough place to keep all cutlery and crockery in. You know pretty well where things go.
The spacious living-room is the heart of the house. It is the place where you can have a chance to see the rest of your family. They come in the evening to sit in front of the coffee table in soft armchairs and on the sofa. You look at the wall units, stuffed with china, crystal and books. Some is left for the stereo system and a TV set. The fireplace and houseplants make the living-room very cosy.
Your bedroom is your private area though most bedrooms are alike: a single or a double bed, a wardrobe, one or two bedside tables and a dressing-table.
You look inside the bathroom: a sink, hot and cold taps and a bath. There is nothing more to see in the toilet.
You are quite satisfied with what you have seen, but still doubts disturb you: “Is there anything to change?” Yes! The walls of the room should be papered, and in the bathroom and toilet – tiled! Instead of linoleum there should be parquet floors. Instead of patterned curtains it is better to put darker plain ones, so that they might not show the dirt. You do it all, but doubt does not leave you. Then you start moving the furniture around in the bedroom. Because the dressing-table blocks out the light. You are ready to give the sigh of relief, but … suddenly find out that the lounge is too crammed up with furniture.
Those who live on one-room or two-room flats may feel pity for those who live in houses. They do not have such problems. At the same time they have a lot of privileges: central heating, running water, a refuse-chute and … nice neighbours who like to play music at midnight. Owners of small flats are happy to have small problems and they love their homes not less than those who live in three-storeyed palaces. Home, sweet home!
