Hello, dasha! thank you for your letter. i was glad to hear from you. sorry for haven't writing for so long but i was busy with my school. i have lots of homework and lessons at school and that's why i have little free time. you've asked me about my flat and i'm ready to tell you about it. you know, that i live on the second floor of a new five - store building. our flat is very comfortable, but not very large. there are two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in my flat. my room is clean, warm, cozy and nice. i think that my room is the best room in our flat. there is a sofa, a bed, a bookcase, a coffee table and many toys in a special box. i like my flat, but every summer i go to the country to my uncle sergey. his house is small and old, but very clean. there is a lot of furniture in uncle's house. there is a large square table, a little cozy sofa, a large desk, an orange carpet and a tv - set. my uncle likes to read very much, so there are some bookcases and bookshelves with a lot of books in his house. i read a lot when i live in the country. there is a big garden and a kitchen. the garden is behind the house. near the house is a river in which we are fishing. on other bank of this river there is a beautiful thick forest. there are lots of berries and mushrooms in it. we often go for a walk there. i like swimming very much in the river. i will be glad if you come and see me someday. you are always welcome! i'm sorry but i have to go now because my mum is asking me to help her in the kitchen. and what is your house like? hope to hear from you soon. best wishes, sophia.
