One-dimensional model of a system where first-order phase transition occurs is examined in the present paper. It is shown that basic properties of the phenomenon, such as a well defined temperature of transition, are caused both by existence of a border between the phases and the fact that only in the vicinity of that border it is possible for molecules to change their phase. Not only the model is introduced and theoretical analysis of its properties is made but also the results of Monte Carlo simulations are presented together with the results of numerical calculation of the distribution of energy levels of the system.
