there is/there are
It's basic English but since I haven't used such phrases for a long time, now I am not sure what is correct. so, what options are possible?
1) There are two beds in my bedroom and there is one in his.
2) There are two beds in my bedroom and one in his.
3) There are two beds in my bedroom and two in his.
4) There is one bed in my bedroom and two in his.
5) There is one bed in my bedroom and there are two in his.
Is omission of the second "there is/there are" acceptable and grammatically correct? or is it acceptable only in spoken language?

Are these three words interchangeable? or it depends on context?
I've heard that the word 'concrete' is mostly used to describe the road surface. is it right? in what cases is it possible to use it in the meaning 'specific'?

pity / shame
When I want to express that I feel sorry that some situation/action happened/not happened, what is correct thing to say?
It's a shame he didn't come with us.
or
It's a pity he didn't come with us.
also:
1. I heard somewhere that 'pity' is outdated or only British word. Is it right?
2. if I say 'it's a shame', wouldn't such sentence have the shade of main definition of the word 'shame' and hurt feelings of the person I talk to?

contact (with)?
I have some troubles with the word 'contact'. Do I understand correctly that if I use it as a verb, I should never add 'with' after it? For example:
I figured that's why she's missing, and why she doesn't contact me. (not contact with me)
I will contact Mr. Klok immediately so that he can, in turn, contact you. (not contact with Mr.Klock / contact with you)
And that I need to use 'with' when I use 'contact as a noun?
'establish a reliable contact with government', 'stay in contact with each other' and so on.
also, is the phrase 'get in touch with' formal or informal? Does it have absolutely the same meaning as 'contact' and can I use it in conversation with colleagues, customers, people of higher rank (at my work) etc.?
