My Working Day ( аудиозапись)

On week-days I usually get up at 7 a. m. I make my bed, open the window and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash. If I have time, I take a cold and hot shower. In ten minutes I am ready for breakfast. I have a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich.

After breakfast I leave home. I go to my work by bus ( tram, trolley-bus). It takes me forty minutes to get to my office. My work begims at 9 a. m. and lasts till 5 p. m.

At two o’clock I have dinner at our canteen.

I have something substantial for dinner, for example, some soup, hot meat or fish. Then I drink a cup of tea or milk.

I come home at six o’clock in the evening and have a short rest, make some telephone calls and do my housework.

We study many subjects at the Institute, so it takes me two or three hours to get ready for my tutorials and examinations. Sometomes I go to the library to take books. As a rule I have no free time on my week -days.

Eight o’clock is supper time in our family. We all get together in the kitchen, then go to the living-room and watch TV or discuss some problems. Twice a week I go to the sports section.
