Ideal House
First of all I'd like to say that all of us have our own ideas and dreams about a perfect home, because "home" can't mean the same to everybody. But I'm sure that for all people home is not just a place to live in. Home is your little world where you live according (согласно) to your own rules and interests. It's a place where you feel comfort, warmth [wɔːmθ] and reliability, [rɪˌlaɪə'bɪlətɪ] (надежность) that's why we say "East or West, home is best" (в гостях хорошо, а дома лучше) and the English say "My home is my castle" (мой дом – моя крепость). But what an ideal home is everybody decides for himself.
My dream is to live in a detached house. The relaxed environment is really important for me and because of that I would like to live in a quiet place near a woods or a river, far from a city’s noise on the countryside, maybe in England. I would like a huge garden with stone walkway ['wɔːkweɪ] (дорожка; аллея) surrounded [sə'raund] (окружать) by flowering plants, a small lake and a terrace ['terɪs] - with wooden furniture, ['fɜːnɪʧə] (мебель) with a hammock ['hæmək] (гамак) and a Jacuzzi where I can meditate, (обдумывать, размышлять) read and drink a coffee on the sunny afternoons.
The interior [ɪn'tɪərɪə] would be also comfortable and the design should be a mixture of different styles. The rooms will be furnished ['fɜːnɪʃt] (обставлена) by wooden things; the walls would be painted in pastel ['pæst(ə)l] and light colors and covered ['kʌvəd] (покрыты) by photos of my family and friends. I would like many windows overlooking (выходящих на) a valley (долина) or a river. I love art so I think my rooms will be cluttered ['klʌtə] with different decorations and modern pictures.
In the living room there should be a stone fireplace and in front of that a rug, (ковер) a huge sofa ['səufə] (диван) and armchairs [ˌɑːm'ʧeə] (кресло). Here I can spend long winter evenings sitting in an armchair and listening to pleasant music or sipping (потягивая, попивая) coffee. I
