1.We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fourth floor.

It has all modem

conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot running water, and a lift. There are
three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat. All of them are well-decorated and
furnished. My apartment is not big but there is enough space for my four-member family. My
family spends most of our time in the living room. My room is the place where I feel safe and
relaxed. It’s small but nice and comfortable. There isn’t much furniture in my room, just the
things I really need. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk with a computer. There are some
shelves on the walls where I keep different stuff like books, perfume, soft toys. There are some
posters and photos on the wall. My room is very dear to my heart. I usually go there when I
want to be on my own. I can shut the door and tell everyone in my household not to bother
me. I think my room is a great place to chill out after school. To be honest, my flat is a great
place for all of us and our relatives, neighbors and true friends.

lyceums and gymnasiums, where pupils get more profound knowledge in various subjects.
Marks am given out of 10. All schools have rules, such as to be neatly dressed, not to smoke or
to avoid casual hair styles. They get good knowledge in all subjects. All are provided with equal
opportunities to get good knowledge.
3.Environment is the nature around us. Air, water, trees, flowers, animals, birds and insects.
People’s activities have made a huge impact on the environment, but not all people understand
it. There are many environmental problems, which are important today and all of them are
interdependent. The most dangerous are water and air pollution, global warming, climate
change. Most serious ecological problems are: noise from cars and buses; destruction of wildlife
and countryside beauty. People should save gas and water .We also should reduce
consumption of natural resources, deforestation and pollution of air, water, forests and soils,
beaches.
