My name is Olesya. My week starts on Monday. Usually I get up at 7 o’clock. I do my bed and open the window. Sometimes I do my morning exercises, but not always. Then I go to the bathroom. There I wash myself and clean my teeth. Sometimes I take a shower. After that I go to my bedroom, dress myself and brush my hair. In five minutes I am ready for breakfast. I usually have a cup of coffee and a sandwich. After breakfast I take my bag, put on my coat and go to the University.
I live not far from my University and it takes me only ten minutes to walk there. I’m never late for the first lesson because I come to the university a few minutes before the bell. I leave my coat in the cloakroom and go to the classroom. The lessons begin at eight o’clock and at half past one they are over. Sometimes after the lessons I go to the library to take some books. I usually do my home task at home. As a rule, I have no free time on my week-days.
Sometimes I have lunch at the university canteen. Twice a week I go to the swimming pool. I play volleyball in the university team and we have our training at our big gymnasium.
In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have dinner together, watch TV or read books. Reading is my hobby. I like to read detective stories or books of modern writers. I also like reading books in English.
Sometimes in the evenings I visit some museums or exhibitions with my friend. Or we just go round the centre of Tyumen. Generally I like to go round on my own. You can stop and look at the things you want to see.
At about eleven o’clock I go to bed. It’s high time to sleep.
