Whose Favourite Rooms Are They?

There are four of us: father, mother, my brother and me. Each of us has his favourite place in our flat. My father’s favourite room is his study. There are books, pictures on the walls, a video and a computer. He usually writes his articles there. My mother’s favourite place is our kitchen. She likes to sit there with a cup of coffee looking through her favourite magazines. My favourite place is our living room. We have got a very good stereo system there. I often play my music in the living room. My brother Nick likes to play in our room. There are a lot of wonderful toys and books in our room.

Working Disorder I have my own(собственный) room. My mother always says that I should(следует) keep it in order. But in my opinion everything in my room should lie on the floor. Only three paths (тропы) should link the door, the desk and the bed. Necessary papers should be fastened (прикреплять)on the wall, because in my room papers usually disappear (исчезать)at the very moment they’re desperately(безнадежно)needed. Cassettes and books should be on the desk, because if they’re on the floor, I can’t find them, and if they’re on the shelves, I can’t reach(достать) them, as the floor is swamped(завалить) with other things. As for the floor, it is very uncomfortable when different things are in different places. For example, my mother says that clothes should be in a wardrobe, something else on the shelf, and so on. So when I need something I have to remember where I placed that thing the last time I used it.

When things lie on the floor I can see them all at once (тотчас же) and find what I need.

If I wait for (ждать) guests, I can hide (прятать) everything from the floor under the bed and put the books and cassettes in one big heap (собирать в кучу) on the desk. If guests ask, what it is, I can say that it is working disorder (беспорядок). If they look under my bed, they’re impolite (невежливо).

This is my opinion of how my room should be arranged (устраивать). What would you do in your room, if your parents allowed you to maintain (содержать) your own order?

Answer the questions:

1. What is her opinion on the order in her own room?

2. Why does she keep such an order?

3. What does she do if some guests come to her?

4. What do you think about her kind of order?

VI. Read the text and put these pictures into the order in which they are described in the story.

Housework

Mr and Mrs Turvey both hated housework. They were a very untidy couple who never put things away. When they went to bed, for example, they always left their clothes in a mess on the floor. Their kitchen was a mess, too. Even though they had a dishwasher, they always left the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink and only did the washing-up when there wasn’t clean plate to be found in the house, It was the same with their clothes. They never put them into the washing machine until there was nothing else left to wear. The living room always looked as though a bomb had just gone off. There were things everywhere. There was thick dust on every piece of furniture and the carpet had not been cleaned for weeks.

And the bathroom!

One day, when Mr Turvey couldn’t find one of his shoes, and Mrs Turvey couldn’t see her face in the bathroom mirror, they decided it was time to get the house cleaned. So, they found Marie, a foreign student at a local language school, who needed some extra money.

Marie came to the house and worked all day long. She washed and dried all the clothes. Then she got out the iron. She ironed the clothes, folded them neatly and put them away. She swept all the dust off the floors with a large broom. She took a wet cloth and wiped the dust off every surface in the house and then polished the furniture until it was shining. She got out the vacuum cleaner and cleaned all the carpets. In the kitchen the floor was filthy. It was too dirty to wash with a mop, so Marie got on her hands and knees and scrubbed the dirt off with a scrubbing brush. Finally she made the bed and, when she had finished, the house looked spotless.

Mr. and Mrs. Turvey came home that evening. There was nothing on the floor. There was no dust on the furniture. The wood was shining and you could smell the polish. In their bedroom all their clothes were neat, clean and tidy. “So, what do you think?” Mrs. Turvey asked her husband.

“It looks nice and tidy,” he said, “but how are we ever going to find anything?”
