My daily routine

My name is Maria. I am a student at the university. I study 5 days a week. Saturday and Sunday are my days off.

My weekdays are very similar. I usually get up at 7 o’clock. I don’t like getting up so early. I always put on some music. It helps me wake up. Then I have a shower and clean my teeth. I have breakfast at half past seven. As a rule my mother makes breakfast for me. Some cereal, coffee and toast is my ideal breakfast. After breakfast I get dressed and put on some make-up. At about 8 o’clock I leave home. I live not far from the university so I usually walk. My classes begin at 8.30 a.m. I don’t like being late and always come in time. As a rule we have 3 or 4 periods of lectures and seminars a day. At noon I go to the university canteen and have lunch there. My classes finish at about 4 o’clock and I go home.

I like having dinner at home. I usually have some soup, salad and steak for dinner. After dinner I always relax. I like listening to music, watching television, surfing the Internet. At about 6 o’clock in the evening I start doing my homework. It takes me 2 or 3 hours every day. At about 8 o’clock I have supper with my family. I do the washing-up after supper and I am free. I often go for walks with my friends. Sometimes we meet in cafés or bars and chat. At about eleven

71

at night I come home. Before going to bed I often read a book or a magazine. This is the end of my ordinary working day.

On Saturdays I usually do my homework and help my mother about the house. On Sundays I like meeting my friends. Our weekends depend on the season. In spring and summer we often go for picnics, sunbathe and swim in the open air. In winter and autumn we like going to the cinema, meeting in bars and clubs, dancing and chatting.

Novopolotsk

I study at Polotsk State University and live in Novopolotsk. It is my native town. Novopolotsk is a young town situated in the north of Belarus. It stands on the bank of the Dvina River. Its population is about 100 000 people.

79

Novopolotsk is famous for its industry. There are four large industrial enterprises here: the Chemical Works “Polymir”, the Refinery Plant “Naftan”, the Protein Vitamin Works and the Measuring Devices Plant. Novopolotsk is a student town. There is Polotsk State University, the Oil-Training College, some vocational schools in our town. Every year a lot of young people from Belarus and foreign countries come to Novopolotsk and study here.

Novopolotsk has several micro-districts. Some of them are new and have multi-storey buildings and modern shopping centers. Others are rather old and have five-storey buildings. But they are green and quiet. There are four policlinics, two swimming pools, several sports centers and a hospital at the disposal of our residents. In the centre of the town there is a central square – the Square of Builders. It looks modern with its beautiful fountains, comfortable benches, wonderful flower-beds and a large screen. It is the venue of different meetings, festivals, concerts and demonstrations.

There is a town hall here too. Opposite the square there is a beautiful park. Our residents and guests like going for walks and having a rest there.

As our town is young there aren’t many monuments and historical sights here. But there are some interesting statues in its streets and parks. I like Novopolotsk and I am happy to live and study here.
