HOME, SWEET HOME 

(Unit 7) 

 

I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC 

 

Task 1. Read the text “The House and the Flat I Live in”. 

I live in a 9-storeyed block of flats in one of the newest districts of Samara 

(right in the centre of Samara) in Pushkin Street. It looks quite modern. It stands 

a little back from the busy road.  

On the ground floor in the centre of the front there is a café. The two gates 

lead into a spacious yard. Our yard is a large open space with trees and shrubs. It 

has a number of playgrounds. There are also sand pits for young children. 

Comfortable benches give rest to grannies and mothers, taking their babies out 

in their prams. 

Our block contains 216 flats varying in size. The smallest type is the one-

room flat or the bedsit, the largest is the four-room flat. We occupy a three-room 

flat on the fifth floor. We usually go up in a lift. There are three more flats on 

our landing. There is a number plate on our door. It says Flat 22. 

 

28



As you come in through the front door you find yourself in a large hall 

with a stand for hats, coats and umbrellas. There are two built-in closets in the 

hall too. We use them as utility rooms. One of them is just for a washing 

machine and a freezer. The other, big enough to walk in, is for household things 

and garden tools. My mother is a fantastic gardener, you know. We have a 

wonderful garden in the country, full of fruit trees, beautiful roses and other 

flowers.  

One of the doors on the right of the hall leads into the living room. This 

room faces south, so it is very sunny. The dominant feature in the room is a 

large table with chairs around it. The other essentials are two big sofas with soft 

cushions and plants – lots of large, healthy green plants. Of course, there is a TV 

set and a music centre there. It is the room where we can entertain and relax. 

To the left is my bedroom which I also use as a study. It has a large 

window, a wardrobe, a sofa and a desk with a chair. There are posters with my 

favourite music groups on the walls. My parents’ bedroom adjoins my room. At 

the end of the hall there is a bathroom and next to it is a lavatory. A door on the 

right leads into the kitchen. We also use it as a dining-room. In the kitchen the 

floor is covered with linoleum. The flooring is parquet in all the rooms. In the 

bathroom and lavatory both the floor and the walls are tiled.  

Our flat is modern and spacious. We keep it clean. The living room has a 

high ceiling. The bedrooms in the flat are papered. There are all modern 

conveniences in the house such as electricity, gas, central heating, cold and hot 

running water. There is also a chute in the house.  

There is another thing that I like about the house – its location. Buses and 

trolleybuses run every ten minutes and it never takes me more than 20 minutes 

to get to the University.

The Palace 

 

32



There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is 10 

Downing Street, where the Prime Minister lives. The other is Buckingham 

Palace. This famous palace, first built in 1703, is in the very centre of London. 

It is two places, not one. It is a family house, where children play and grow up. 

It is also the place where presidents, kings, and politicians go to meet the Queen. 

Buckingham Palace is like a small town, with a police station, two post 

offices, a hospital, a bar, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. 

There are 600 rooms and three miles of red carpet. Two men work full-time to look 

after the 300 clocks. About 700 people work in the Palace. 

The Queen’s Day 

When the Queen gets up in the morning, seven people look after her. One 

starts her bath, one prepares her clothes, and one feeds the Royal dogs. She has 

eight or nine dogs, and they sleep in their own bedroom near the Queen’s 

bedroom. Two people bring her breakfast. She has coffee from Harrods, toast, 

and eggs. Every day for fifteen minutes, a piper plays Scottish music outside her 

room and the Queen reads “The Times”. 

Every Tuesday evening, she meets the Prime Minister. They talk about 

world news and have a drink, perhaps a gin and tonic or a whisky. 

An Invitation to the Palace 

When the Queen invites a lot of people for dinner, it takes three days to 

prepare the table and three days to do the washing-up. Everybody has five 

glasses: one for red wine, one for white wine, one for water, one for port, and 

one for liqueur. During the first and second courses, the Queen speaks to the 

person on the left and then she speaks to the person on her right for the rest of 

the meal. When the Queen finishes her food, everybody finishes and it is time 

for the next course! 



 

True/False 

1. The Palace is more than two hundred years old. 

2. It is famous because it is in the center of London. 

3. The same person starts the Queen’s bath, prepares her clothes, and feeds the dogs. 

4. The dogs sleep in the Queen’s bedroom. 

5. The Queen and the Prime Minister go out for a drink on Tuesday night. 



 

Questions 

1. “Buckingham Palace is two places, not one.” How? 

2. Why is it like a small town? 

3. Are there many clocks? 

4. How many dogs does the Queen have? 

5. What newspaper does she read? 

6. What sort of music does the piper play? 

7. Why do people have five glasses on the table? 

8. Who does the Queen speak to during a meal? 

9. What happens when the Queen finishes her food?
