Our flat
I live in Yekaterinburg in a block of flats. Its a typical Yekaterinburg 16- storey building. We dont live in the centre of Yekaterinburg, but we live not far from the underground. It takes us 20 minutes to get to the centre of the city and 5 minutes to get to the Ural State Pedagogical University. There are three rooms in our flat and we have all modern conveniences. The building is centrally heated; there is cold and hot water in our flat. We have good kitchen and bathroom facilities. There is a big living room and two bedrooms in our flat. My brother and I share one big bedroom. There are two beds, a couple of very comfortable chairs and a lot of space for us to keep our things. In the hall there is a little corner where our computers live. And in the living room there is a video and a fantastic television. Our windows look down on a football pitch, which is occasionally (, ) used by schoolchildren. A lot of trees are visible from our windows and we can see the top of the church too.
One of the greatest advantages of our flat is that our block of flats isnt next to any big roads. So we get virtually no noise from outside. We live on the 12th floor. And I like living high up, because a lot of light comes in. I like to have more sunlight coming in.
My mother always keeps fresh flowers in our flat. They make our flat feel alive. My mother waters them regularly, and I think they are happy, as they are well taken care of.
There is always a very nice family atmosphere in our flat. Our parents are very friendly. And besides, every little detail, every picture on the walls, every vase of flowers gives the place a homely atmosphere. So I can say that our flat is very cosy.

My day
As many people I have different timetables on weekdays and weekends. I think that it is very important to go to bed before midnight and to get up quite early in the morning, especially () on weekdays. So you can do everything you plan to do. My major duty is to study at the university. My classes usually begin at 8.30 o'clock.
Every day I get up at half past six. I take a cool shower then go jogging to the park near my place. So I do jogging for about thirty minutes and then do some exercises.
I return home at about 7.15, take a shower and then have breakfast. I like to talk with my parents while having breakfast.
After breakfast I put all the necessary books into my bag and get dressed. I leave home at 8.05. I get to my university by tram. My classes usually finish at 3.30 p.m. When classes are over I go to the music teacher and take guitar lessons.
I come home at 6 o'clock. I have dinner and start doing my homework at 7 o'clock. If I have some spare time after doing homework, I play the guitar, read some books or surf the Net. I go to bed at about half past eleven. On weekends I usually get up at 8 o'clock and do the same things I do on weekdays except going to the university. At 12 o'clock I rehearse with the rock band where I play the guitar. Our rehearsal ends in the evening.
On weekends I can stay at home and read books, or go somewhere with my friends.
