My Working day

On week-days the alarm-clock wakes me up at 7 o’clock and my working day begins. I jump out of bed, run to the window and open it wide to let the fresh morning air in. I don`t have time for morning exercises, I just make my bed and go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash my face. Sometimes I have a cold or a warm shower. Then I dry myself on a towel and comb my hair. Then I go back to my room and dress. Now, I`m ready for breakfast.

My breakfast is usually light: just a cup of coffee or tea and a couple of sandwiches. While having breakfast I turn on the TV and watch the morning news.

I am always in a hurry because I don’t want

to be late for classes. As I live far from my Institute I usually go there by taxi. It takes me a few minutes to get to the place.

My days are not like each other because I have a different timetable every day. As a rule I have 2 or 3 lectures and a seminar or a lab. When

there is a gap of 2 hours between lectures or lab I usually go to the library. At 13.10 I have a break for lunch. I go to the canteen. After the break classes go on. They are usually over at about 4 o’clock. After classes I usually go home. After a day of hard work I feel very tired and I hurry home. After dinner I have a short rest and then do

my homework. Then I go to the swimming pool and have a two hour training practice.

In the evening I often go out with friends. We usually go to a café, to a party, to the disco or to the cinema. Before going to bed I enjoy reading a book or watch TV. I go to sleep at about 12 o’clock. My working day is over.
