I’d like to speak about my friend Andrey and his flat.Andrey is fourteen. He lives with his parents not far from our school.Andrey has a lot of hobbies: he likes to play the computer, to read detective stories, to collect matchboxes. He has a large collection of them.Andrey has short, light hair and gray eyes. He is quite short and rather thin. He always manages to be cheerful, energetic and full of life. My friend is also reliable, shy and hard-working. He is helpful and honest.Andrey is very popular. He is a helpful person and every time he tries to do his best to help somebody when he has some problems. Andrey is very attentive to his parents.Of course, he has some drawbacks - sometimes he is a bit stubborn. But I still like him as he has a good sense of humor and pleasant to deal with.He lives in an old flat in the Lefortovo. It is a three-room flat of a typical block of flats with a lift. His flat is on the fourth floor. His flat consists of the living-room, his parent's bedroom and his own room.Andrey use his room as a study and a bedroom. His room is a very comfortable one. It has its advantages, though it is the smallest room in his flat. The only window in his room faces the green park, which is situated near his house. It is so nice to look out of the window in a bright sunny day! The view is really wonderful.The walls of his room are papered in a design of gray and silver stripes and the curtains on the window match the wallpaper perfectly. The built-in furniture doesn't take much space in it. There is a modern writing table with a reading-lamp on it. He always keep there his notes, text-books and pencils. On the little table there is a cassette recorder. You see, he is a fond of music and often enjoy listening to the lovely melody.His bed stands near the standard lamp. There are two water colors and his portrait on the wall above the bed. The floor in Andrey’s room is covered with a thick carpet. Besides, he grows a lot of flowers. You can see them everywhere: on the window-sill, on the bookcase, on the little table, on the walls...To cut the long story short, I should admit that his room is very attractive and I like it very much.
