  1. What do you do during the day?

I am a first-year student. I study at Chita State University, at the Institute of Construction and Ecology. My parents live in Krasnokamensk. I rent a flat.

My classes at the University begin at 8:30. So I have to get up early. In the morning I turn on the radio and do my morning exercises. I don’t take a bath because I don’t have enough time for it. So I take a shower. After that I get dressed. I brush my hair and put on a light make up. Then I have breakfast. I eat eggs or a cheese sandwich and drink a cup of tea. I listen to the latest news on the radio during my breakfast. I leave home at 8 o’clock and walk to the nearest bus stop. I live not far from the University and it usually takes me about fifteen minutes to get there by bus.

We have lectures and practical hours in different subjects every day. As a rule I have three or four classes a day. I don’t miss my classes because I want to pass my exams successfully. During the day we have several short breaks that last for ten minutes. At 13:30 we have lunch in the canteen. Sometimes I stay at the University till 5 o’clock in the evening because I have to go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. I look through journals, read articles and books and prepare for my next day’s classes.

At English classes we usually read, write or speak English. We answer the teacher’s questions, do various exercises and ask questions. As a rule I have no free time on week-days. Usually I come home at 5 o’clock. I have supper, drink coffee or tea and then prepare my homework. I like to read something or listen to some music. In the evening I sometimes go for a walk, visit my friends or watch TV. I prefer old comedies, soap-operas or films about different countries. At about 11 at night I go to bed.
