MY WORKING DAY

My working day begins early. I always get up at 7 o'clock. Before I leave for the Institute I have a lot of things to do. First of all I do my morning exercises. When doing them I usually open the window and switch on the radio. I like to do my morning exercises to music. Then I go to the bathroom where I wash, clean my teeth and dress. At a quarter to eight I am ready to have breakfast. While having breakfast I often listen to the latest news on the radio or look through the newspapers.

It doesn’t take me long to have breakfast. At a quarter past eight I leave home for the Institute. As I live far from the Institute I go there by bus or by metro. It usually takes me half an hour to get there. I seldom walk to the Institute in the morning because I have no time and I am afraid to be late for classes.

I am never late. I always come to the Institute in time. Between classes we have short breaks. At 12.30 we have a long break for dinner. I usually have dinner in the dining-hall of our Institute which is always full of people at this time.

As a rule we have three lectures or seminars a day. Classes are over at twenty minutes to four. If I have no meeting, I go home. Sometimes I stay at the Institute if I have some things to do or if I have a meeting. There is a Students’ Scientific Society at our Institute. I am a member of this Society. Once a month I attend its meetings. I am also a member of the English circle which meets on Tuesdays.

Sometimes I stay at the Institute because I need a book or an article which I can only get in the reading room. Before and after classes in the reading room there are always a great many students who read different books and articles, work at their reports or do their lessons.

After classes I usually walk home. I like to walk after a busy day at the Institute. When I come home I have dinner and a short rest. Then I prepare my lessons. It usually takes me about three hours. In the evening I have supper and watch TV. Sometimes if I have time, I go to the cinema. I usually go to bed at 11 o’clock.

Every day I work at my English. I spend half an hour a day on it. Every evening I read a page or half a page of some English book or do my English homework. When preparing my homework I often listen to the tapes which help me (to) learn to read and speak English. I like English very much and I do my best to master it. I never miss English classes and I work at it regularly, that’s why English is not difficult for me. I can already read easy English books and even speak English a little.

Those who want to master it, i.e. (that is) to understand it without difficulty, to speak it well, to read books in the original without a dictionary and to write correctly, must study hard. I am fond of our English classes.
