 Dreams are very useful because they help to define (1) your aims and wishes. I like to dream and I often imagine (2) my future home. I'd like to live in a detached house in one of the suburbs of our city. I hope that there will be a forest and a lake near my house. A beautiful orchard with apple and cherry trees will surround my place. Let's imagine that we open the gate and come close to a neat two-storey building. Welcome inside!
   The ground floor consists of the kitchen, the living room and the study. The kitchen is cosy with all modern conveniences. We have running cold and hot water, a fridge, gas and microwave cookers, a dishwasher. These appliances (3) help to save our time. The kitchen is done in folk style and there are many traditional Russian pots and souvenirs. It's nice when our family gets together in the evenings and shares the news.
   The living room is spacious (4) with big windows. I don't want to have much furniture in it, just a sofa, a low table and .chairs. I like when my friends visit us and we have a big dining table with chairs and a cupboard with porcelain, necessary utensils (5), table clothes, napkins (6), etc.
   The study is the place where I work. To my mind there should be a desk, a chair, many bookcases with books, a computer with all other necessary appliances like printer, etc.
   On the first floor there are two bedrooms. One bedroom is for adults. There we have a wardrobe, a bed and two night-tables. The colours of the walls are not bright. Everything promises you a restful sleep.
   The bedroom of my children will be light with many toys and sports equipment. Children are very active and they must have much of exercise.
   This is my dream and I haven't imagined all the details rather clearly. By the time this dream comes true everything will be planned. I invite you to visit the house of my dream.
