Pete Sokolov lives in Pushkin street. He lives on the fifth floor of a new nine-storied apartment-house. His family lives in a three-room flat. There are four of them in the family. Pete’s father’s a worker and his mother’s a judge. Pete’s younger brother Mike is a schoolboy. There are two bedrooms and a sitting room in their flat. One bedroom is for Pete’s parents, the other is for the boys. There are two beds, two chairs, a wardrobe, a desk and a lot of books in their bedroom. There is no TV-set in their room, but there’s an excellent stereo system. Mike and Pete always do their room themselves. Mike often takes Pete’s books and cassetes and Pete gets angry. “Where are my things?” he asks or “Why do you take my books?” Mike doesn’t answer anything. He gives everything back. But still the two brothers are good friends.

Nell Pavlova hasn’t got a family and she lives alone in a small flat. She likes her flat very much. Why does she like it? Because it’s so sunny and comfortable. There are many flowers in the room and a lot of photoes and pictures on the walls. Nell makes photoes herself. She likes everything in her room. But there’s something she doesn’t like. She doesn’t like to be alone.

This is Steve’s house. It’s in the suburbs of London and Steve gets to work in his car. Still it takes him about an hour to get there. Steve’s got a large family: a wife, two daughters and a son. There are three bed-rooms, a dining-room, a bathroom and a large kitchen in his house. There is also a little garden in front of the house. “Do you want tea or coffee?”, Steve’s wife asks him. But Steve wants nothing. He’s very tired. He’s sleepy.

I’m at home at last! It’s so nice to be at home after a long working day. What’s for supper tonight? Oh, I don’t know myself. There’s something in the fridge… Oh, there is someone one the phone! “2457336 – two four five seven double three six”. Jane Snow’s here. Oh, hi John! What? Pictures? I’m afraid it’s too late. Besides I don’t want to go anywhere tonight. Next time, perhaps? Fine! See you tomorrow then. Bye!
