They say that living in the country is better than living in a city. What do you think about this?
As for me I prefer to live in a big city because a lot of big shops are situated near my home, but I also like to spend my holidays in the country because after living in the city for about 9 months I start getting tired. I agree that is better living in the country especially in spring or summer because the ecological conditions there are very good. There are no a lot of industrial factories there. People try to do everything to go to the countryside because only there they can find quietness and forget about day to day stress.

1.Let`s talk about different types of houses. Tell me about the house/flat you live in.
We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot running water, a lift and a chute to carry rubbish down.
There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat. The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. The bedroom is smaller than the living-room.
It’s really wonderful to have a room for yourself. My room is not large but very cosy. There isn’t much furniture in it, only the most necessary. It has a computer desk and an armchair before it. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books and magazines. Near it there is a sofa. In my opinion, the study is the best room in our flat.
But the warmest place in our flat is the kitchen, I think — the place where the whole family gathers every evening not only to have supper together, but also to speak and rest. I like the English proverb: “My home is my castle” because my flat is, indeed, my castle.
Do you find your flat a comfortable place for living?
Yes, it’s a comfortable place for living. There is everything for living, all conveniences. I like the English proverb: “My home is my castle” because my flat is, indeed, my castle.
What questions will you ask your friend who is going to move about his/ her new home?
- Is your flat far or close to the centre of the city?
- How many rooms are there in your flat?

Your friend wants to decorate his/ her new flat. Give him/ her some advice how to furnish it.
I think it will be reasonable to surf the Internet in search of some examples of a design. If you choose a certain style then it will be easy to decide about the furniture. I wouldn’t recommend to overcrowd the room with the furniture. There should be everything that is necessary. In this case you’ll have enough space and air in your room. Besides it’s easier to clean such rooms.
But the most important thing about the design of any room is to make it cosy.
What type of house would you prefer to live in? Why?
I would like to live in a detached house with a big garden because there is a lot of free space surrounding the building and it belongs only to my family. I can do whatever I’d like to be done in my house. The disadvantage is that all repairs in the house should be made by the owner.

Now let’s talk about food. What can you tell me about eating habits in Belarus?
Modern Belarusian cookery is based on old national traditions which have undergone a long historical evolution.
Common in Belarusian cuisine were dishes from potato which is called among people "the second bread".
Potato is included into many salads, it is served together with mushrooms, meat; baked puddings are made from it. The most popular among the Belarusians are traditional draniki, thick pancakes, prepared from shredded potatoes.
A lot of place in the diet of the Belarusians belongs to meat and meat products, especially to the pork and salted pork fat.

The salted pork fat is used slightly smoked and seasoned with onions and garlic.
Dishes prepared from meat are usually served together with potatoes or vegetables such as carrot, cabbage, black radish, peas, etc. It is characteristic that many vegetable and meat dishes are prepared in special stoneware pots.
The choice Belarusian food are fresh, dried, salted and pickled mushrooms, and also berries such as bilberry, wild strawberries, red whortlberry, raspberries, cranberry and some others.
