4.2 Where I live
Exercise 3
Audio 4.4
I live in New York City in the Lower East Side District. My flat is very small, but the rent is $800 a month. It’s a studio flat. There isn’t a kitchen, dining room, living room, or bedroom. I cook, eat, relax and sleep in one room.

The flat’s on the 4th floor of a building between Delancey Street and Grand Street. The building is opposite a 24-hour garage and next to an Indian restaurant, so there are always lots of cars and people in the street. The cars are quite noisy.
It’s a studio flat with only one room. My bed is on a shelf above the kitchen. The toilet and shower are under the shelf. In the kitchen there’s a sink, a fridge and a cooker, but there isn’t a dishwasher or a washing machine – I go to the launderette on Grand Street to wash clothes. In front of the window, there’s a red carpet on the floor and there’s an armchair and table with a television on it. From the window, I can see the East River. It’s behind the building.
Exercise 8b
Audio 4.6
It’s very difficult to find a flat in New York. I’m very lucky. I like my flat because it’s in the centre of the city. There are shops and restaurants all around me. The Lower East Side isn’t the best district in the city, but my flat is near a theatre and it’s also near the East River and a small park. One of the things I don’t like about my flat is that there isn’t a lift. Also, unfortunately, I’m not near the underground station, but there’s a bus stop opposite the door of my building.
