II. Read and translate the text:

Volodya is not an early riser. It's quite a problem for him to get up in the morning. But the alarm rings at 7 o'clock and there is nothing to be done as to start a new working day. Volodya does his physical jerks, goes into the bathroom, takes a shower, shaves himself, cleans his teeth, and brushes himself. It takes him for about 10 minutes to do his bed and dress himself. Then he goes to the kitchen to have breakfast. It may be a cup of tea or coffee and some sandwiches.

After his morning meal Volodya leaves the house and walks to school. Classes begin at 8.30 in the morning. Volodya usually comes to school a few minutes before the bell not to be late for the first lesson. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. There is a 30-minute break after the forth lesson. The lessons are usually over at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. But sometimes Volodya doesn't leave school right after classes because of some out-of-class activities, so he has dinner either at home or at the canteen. When at home he usually has something substantial for dinner, for example, cabbage soup for the first course, hot meat or fish with some vegetables for the second one and a glass of juice for dessert.

As a rule Volodya has no spare time on his weekdays. He usually spends much time to do his home work. Sometimes he has to go to the library either to get ready for his practical classes or to write a report. Sometimes he has to sit up either to write a composition or to translate a «Morning Star» article from English into Russian.

Eight o'clock is supper time in the Nechaev family. They all get together in the kitchen to have their evening meal and to discuss different problems. After that Volodya prefers to do a little reading. Sometimes he either watches TV or listens to the music. And every evening he does his best to find time for his computer. It is not until midnight that he usually goes to bed. So by the end of the week Volodya gets tired and needs a good rest.
