apartment. Most apartments in this building have only one or two rooms. But all the
apartments have the same modern
conveniences, as we do.
(45) And, of course, every apartment has a telephone?
(46) Oh, what are you talking about? We have big problems
with installation of
telephones. We need to wait for many years before the phone can be installed.
Approximately, only 10% of families in our building have their own phone.
(47) Does the entire population of your country live in such multi-storey apartment
buildings?
(48) No, it's not entirely true. In urban areas - yes. But in the suburbs
and rural areas,
people live in their own homes. These homes can be much more spacious than our
apartment. But they usually do not have the so-called urban amenities.
(49) What do you mean?
(50) There is no running water. Water should be taken out of the well or you must go with
buckets to a nearby street water column. Toilet, most likely, will be in the backyard. It is
alright in summer. But in winter time, all this is not very pleasant. And, of course, you need
to stock up on firewood for the winter and maintain fire in the stove.
