STEVE’S WORKING DAY
Steve is nineteen years old and he is from California, the USA. Now he is a student at Cambridge University. He lives in a hostel not far from the university. There are three more students in his room: one from Switzerland and two from France. They are from different countries but they get on well together. They study at the same faculty, the faculty of management and finance and have much in common. They are future specialists in the sphere of business and national economics.
Steve starts his day fairly early. He gets up at half past six and has a shower. After that he has a light breakfast and leaves for the university at a quarter past seven. It takes him about twenty minutes to get to the main building of the university. Steve goes on foot and he never comes late.
There are twenty-three students in his group. Every day they have three or four pairs of lessons. The lessons start at eight o’clock and finish at a quarter to five. In the afternoon, between the second and the third pairs, students have lunch. Some students go to the university cafeteria; the others have lunch in the hostel. Steve usually goes to the café which is not far from the university because the meal there is quite cheap and delicious.
37
After lessons all the students are free. There are over ten sport societies at the university for those who like sport. Steve is very sporty. He likes swimming a lot so three times a week he goes to the swimming-pool. Steve is a member of the university swimming team and twice a year in April and October he takes part in the swimming competitions between the students of different faculties.
Students who do not like sport can go to other clubs in accordance with their interests. At the university there is a big library. It opens at eight a.m. and closes at half past seven p.m. It also works on Saturday and Sunday. Steve often goes to the library especially when he has History, Economics and Management.
In the evening Steve has supper, does his homework, watches TV or reads books. The students can stay out till twelve o’clock. Every evening a Proctor with two assistants, the so-called “Bulldogs”, walks around the students’ town and keeps an eye on the students’ behavior. If he sees a student who breaks the rules of the university, he comes up to him and says, ‘Are you a student of the university, sir?’ and if a student runs away, then the “Bulldogs” run after him and fine him. Apart from fines a student may be dismissed from the university for one term.
Steve never breaks the rules. He goes to bed at eleven p.m. as well as his room-mates. Steve is a good student. He works hard and does his best to be a good specialist in economics and management.
