My working day
On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.00 and my working day begins. I’m not an early riser, that’s why it’s very difficult for me to get out of bed. Every day I switch on my tape-recorder and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower, and clean my teeth. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed. At 6.30 I am ready to have breakfast. For breakfast I have a cup of tea or coffee and some sandwiches as a rule. After breakfast I wash dishes and clean the table.
As I live far from State Power Engineering University, I go there by bus. The bus stop is not far from our house. It takes me 30 minutes to get to the University and I leave home at 7.15.
Our classes begin at 8 o'clock. According to the time-table we study six or eight hours a day. We usually have three lectures and one seminar or practical class. I always attend all lectures and practical classes.
At the lectures we listen to the lecturer attentively and make notes. At the seminars we discuss problems and answer the questions of the teachers holding seminars. As for English classes I like them very much. During our English classes we read and translate texts, speak English, learn grammar rules and do exercises. Between classes we have short breaks. At 12.50 we have a long break for lunch. I may go to the refectory and have a full meal or a snack there.
Our classes are over at 3 o'clock and I go home. At home I have a short rest and then prepare my home assignment.
I usually have dinner (supper) at 7 o'clock. In the evening I read books, newspapers, magazines and watch TV. If I have free time I go to the cinema or to the theatre. Sometimes I go to see my friends. I usually go to bed at 11.30. And still I always look forward to my next working day because I like to study. I think I get a lot of useful knowledge.
