On Saturday Mr Blake invites Mr Voronin to his place to spend an evening with his family.
The Blakes1 live in a house with a garden not far from London. There is a sitting room and a study downstairs. The kitchen is down­ stairs too. The sitting room is large and sunny. There is a sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table there. There is a standard lamp and a TV set there too. Above the sofa there is a nice wall lamp.
Beautiful plants make the room cosy.
In the kitchen there is an electric cooker, a refrigerator-freezerand a washing machine, but there isn’t a dishwasher. There are also some cupboards with plates, cups, glasses, knives, forks and spoons.

The study is a small room with bookshelves on the walls. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The Blakes love their house and think: “There is no place like home”2.
