My working day.

I get up at seven o’clock in the morning. I do my morning exercise, wash, brush my teeth, put on my clothes, comb my hair, have breakfast and leave my home. It takes me about an hour to get to the institute. I go there by bus and by tram. Usually our classes begin at 9 a.m., but on Tuesdays, they begin at half past 10 a.m. We have one or two lectures a day and two or three practical classes. Usually our classes are over at 3 p.m., on Tuesdays – at half past 4 p.m. after classes I can work in the library for an hour or two, and then I go home. Sometimes I shop on my way home. Usually I come home at about a quarter past 6 p.m. If there is no one at home, I cook a meal or clean the house. Then I have dinner and do my homework. After that, I watch TV, play with my younger sister or read a book. Every evening I walk with my dog for about half an hour. Usually I go to bed at 11 p.m.

On Sundays in winter, I go skiing, and in spring and autumn, I go with my family to our garden.

The first balloons.

Etienne and Joseph Montgolfier lived in the eighteen century in a little village in France where their father had a paper factory. The two brothers took paper bags from their father, filled them with smoke over a fire and watched them go up into the air.

Then the brothers had constructed a bag some thirty feet in diameter. That big bag was filled with hot smoke, it went high up into the air .It was in the air for ten minutes and then, as the air bag become cold, the balloon went slowly down.

In 1783, the Montgolfier brothers repeated their experiment in the presence of the King and Queen of France .This time the balloon carried a cage with a sheep, a cock, and a duck who were thus the first air travelers. The flight was successful. The balloon came down some distance off with the sheep, a cock, and a duck completely unharmed.

A month later, a balloon was sent up with a Frenchman, Rozier by name. He stayed up in the air for twenty-five minutes at a height of about one hundred feet above the ground, and then came down, saying that he had greatly enjoyed the view of the country.

In1785 a Frenchman and an American made crossed the English Channel in a balloon. When they had covered three quarters of the way, the balloon began to go down. They threw everything they could overboard. They even undressed and threw away practically all their clothes. If they had not done it, they would have never reached the French coast safely.
