Урок 9: Конструкция There is / There are

1. Read the text:

I have got a big and com­fort­able room on the first floor of our house. 

There is a big win­dow with silk cur­tains in it, so my room is full of light. I spend a great deal of my time in this room: I do my home­work, lis­ten to the music, read books and chat with my friends in the Internet.

The wall­pa­pers are white with light green flow­ers. There is a poster of my favourite music band above my bed. There is also a round mir­ror hang­ing on the wall and a small table under it. In the morn­ings I do my hair in front of it.

I also have a big desk with a table lamp on it. I do my home­work at it and some­times draw small pic­tures with colour pen­cils. I keep my work­books and exer­cise books on the shelf above the desk. It is very con­ve­nient, as I have every­thing at hand while doing my homework.

My bed is not big, but cosy. I like read­ing in bed before going to sleep, so I have a wall brack­et lamp on the wall. I have a lot of books and there is a book­case near my bed. I like my room very much.

Vocab­u­lary:

Silk — шелк
cur­tains – занавески, шторы
wall­pa­pers — обои
shelf - полка
con­ve­nient – удобный, подходящий
cosy – уютный
