My Room
We live in a three-room flat. One of the rooms is mine.
My room isn't very large but it is light and cosy. Its walls are light-green. There is a window and a balcony in my room. To the right of the window there is a desk where I do my homework. On the desk there is a handy lamp and my laptop. Above the desk there are two bookshelves where I keep my textbooks. Under the shelves on the wall there is a map of the world. I put the map there last year in order to study for a map quiz. On the opposite wall there is a large poster featuring Marvel's Avengers.
I sleep on my bed which is next to the desk. The bed is covered with a colourful blanket. To the left of the balcony door there is a comfortable armchair. I like to sit in it when reading books or playing games on my phone. There is a sliding door wardrobe in the corner of the room.
The floor of my room is covered with a neutral-coloured carpet.
I like my room very much.
Моя комната
Мы живем в трехкомнатной квартире. Одна из комнат моя.
Моя комната не очень большая, но она светлая и уютная. Стены в ней светло-зеленые. В комнате есть окно и балкон. Справа от окна стоит стол, где я делаю домашнее задание. На столе удобная лампа и мой ноутбук. Над столом две книжные полки, где я храню свои учебники. Под полками на стене висит карта мира. Я повесил(а) карту в году, чтобы готовиться к викторине. На противоположной стене висит большой плакат с изображением Мстителей Марвел.
Я сплю на кровати, которая стоит рядом со столом. Кровать покрыта разноцветным одеялом. Слева от балконной двери стоит удобное кресло. Мне нравится сидеть в нем, когда я читаю книги или играю в игры на своем телефоне. В углу комнаты есть шкаф-купе.
Пол комнаты покрыт ковром нейтральных цветов.
Мне очень нравится моя комната.
