Our flat

I live in Yekaterinburg in a block of flats. It’s a typical Yekaterinburg 16- storey building. We don’t 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 (иногда, изредка) 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 isn’t 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.

11. Прочитай информацию ниже и узнай, что такое резюме и как его составить:

В последнее время при устройстве на работу часто требуется резюме, под которым подразумевается краткое изложение опыта и сути профессиональной деятельности претендента на вакантную должность. Цель резюме - получение приглашения на собеседование, т.е. на очное знакомство с потенциальным работодателем. Резюме должно быть подробным, но не слишком длинным. На его чтение должно быть затрачено не более трех минут. Оптимальный объем резюме - не более полутора листов печатного текста. Если говорить о составлении резюме на английском языке, то необходимо отметить, что наряду со словом «resume» часто встречается словосочетание «curriculum vitae», либо аббревиатура «c.v.». Пусть вас это не смущает, т.к. это лишь два названия одного и того же документа. Итак, прежде всего, сверху посередине листа укажите ваше имя, адрес и телефон. Далее, резюме обычно состоит из следующих главных пунктов: Personal details Education Business experience Special qualifications Interests and skills Рассмотрим содержание этих пунктов.   Personal details 1. Дата и место рождения (Date of birth; Place of birth). 2. Семейное положение (Merital status). - женат/замужем (married); - не женат/не замужем (single); - разведен/разведена (divorced). Здесь также необходимо указать наличие детей (Children). 3. Гражданство (Citizenship). Здесь укажите страну, гражданином которой вы являетесь.   Education В этом пункте необходимо указать все учебные заведения, в которых вы когда-либо учились, включая общеобразовательную школу. Укажите дату начала и окончания учебы и присвоенную квалификацию. Будьте внимательны! При перечислении учебных заведений (далее, также, и мест работы) необходимо соблюдать обратный хронологический порядок. То есть, первым указывается то образование, которое вы получили сравнительно недавно.   Business experience Соблюдая обратный хронологический порядок, укажите время и место работы, название вашей должности. Если у вас есть какие-либо научные труды, публикации, изобретения и т.д., не забудьте указать и их.   Special qualifications В этом пункте укажите дополнительные квалификации, полученные вами на факультативах, курсах и т.п. Если таковые отсутствуют, в резюме этот пункт можно не включать.   Interests and skills В этом пункте дайте о себе дополнительную информацию, как то: · владение иностранными языками · навыки работы на компьютере · наличие водительских прав Укажите, также, клубы, ассоциации, членом которых вы являетесь, свои увлечения и интересы. Но помните, что представленная информация должна быть избирательной, касающейся ваших профессиональных и деловых качеств. Необходимо сделать акцент на том опыте и на тех ваших качествах и умениях, которые помогут вам в выполнении возможных обязанностей на данном рабочем месте. Иногда к резюме прилагается сопроводительное письмо (Covering letter). В некоторых случаях прилагается также письмо-рекомендация (A Letter of Recommendation).
