My at home

I live in a building in Geneva with my family.
I live on the fourth floor of a six story building and I don't have a balcony , It's too bad.
In my apartment, there are three rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a large living room.
I divide my room with my sister (who is smaller) but fortunately my room is rather large and we laugh well the evening before sleeping.
On the other hand, my brother is alone in his room.
Otherwise my room is of purple color because it is my favorite color. In my room there are many photographs, especially on the door and above my desk. On my photographs, there are my friends and my family but I also have postcards of the place I visited during my vacation because I like travelling.
I also like reading, so I have a bookcase filled with books, of all the kinds (fantastic novels, detective novels…)but it is also because my father is a bookseller (Comics). He has his store right in lower part of our home.

I also have like in all the rooms, a desk, a bed and a cupboard (all double because we are two) but in my room I never had a TV. On the other hand I have very a flat big screen in my living room, so that we can watch TV together.
In addition to the TV, I have a playstation2, Wii and also a DVD reader. In my living room I have a very large collectin DVDS because we like watching films with the family or friends
My district can sometimes be a little noisy because I live just opposite the maternity and not far from the hospital, so there are ambulances who the noise of the sirens disturbs some people, but I am used to them.
My elementary school was about two minutes from home and the Highschool was about five minutes, but now they are my old schools, at the moment it takes more than twenty minutes to go to my college.
Geneva is divided into several districts and Plainpalais is my district. I like this district because I grew up there and all my friends live there.
My friends, I see almost every day and we have a precise place to meet up (we laugh in the streets).
Otherwise there is several other district like Carouge, where there is a large outside swimming pool only opened in summer.
There is also the Jonction, it is where my school is located and several of my friends live there.
To finish I could say that I love Geneva because there are many stores where I can go shopping with my friends for example H&M, Zara, Pimkie, Bershka, etc. and there are also several places where we can meet (McDonald's, Bastions Park)
Otherwise Geneva is a splendid city, the lake side is best in summer because we go us swimming there and eat delicious ice.
