My day

Every morning I get up at about seven o’clock. I make my bed, switch on the radio and do my gymnastics to music. Then I go to the bathroom, clean my teeth and take a shower. In half an hour I am ready for breakfast. For breakfast I have orange juice, an egg, two rolls with butter and a cup of tea with lemon. During breakfast I listen to the news over the radio. After breakfast I leave the house and go to the office where I work. As my office is far from my house, I go there by bus. It takes me about 15 minutes to reach the office. I begin my work at 8 o’clock. My working day lasts for seven hours.

On coming home I usually have dinner, do some housework and relax. After dinner I take my son (daughter) for a walk. At 7 o’clock we have a light supper.

In the evening I like to do a little reading or gardening. Sometimes we watch television or listen to music. We usually go to bed at about 11 o’clock.

I am a first-year student of a correspondence department of Rostov State University. At home I have to do my tasks, read up for my examinations. Sometimes I go to the library.

Sunday is my day off. We don’t work. We often meet our friends at the week-ends, go to the country and have a very good time together. Sometimes we go to the theater, cinema or to a concert.
