3.4 Texts for translation in the written form
3.4.1 Translate the following text in the written form
Sunday is my day-off. I may do anything I like after my week’s work.
On my days-off I wake up later then usual. As soon as I wake up I switch on the radio. I like to do my morning exercises to music. I also open the window to air the room.
Then I go to the bathroom. There I clean my teeth and have a warm shower. It doesn’t take me long to get ready for breakfast.
After breakfast I make my bed, tidy up the room and wash the dishes.
On my days-off I go to the country or to the cinema or visit museums and art galleries. I am fond of sports. So in summer I like to go swimming and in winter to go skating or skiing.
In the evening I can go to a concert or theatre. I can also watch TV if there is something interesting on.
At 12 o’clock I go to bed. Thus my day-off comes to an end.

Dong-feng (East Wind) Kindergarten is a preschool run by a city in southwest China. It has 270 three to six-year-old children and 60 staff members. Three-quarters of Dong-feng’s children are day students who attend school from about 8 A.M. to 6 P.M., Monday through Saturday. The others are boarding students who go home only on Wednesday evenings and on weekends.
On a typical day school starts at 7.30 A.M. with a breakfast of steamed buns. After breakfast when the day students arrive, the teachers lead the children in morning exercises followed by a song. Then the children sit down and the teachers hand out wooden blocks. Ms. Xiang says: “Just pay attention to the picture of the building and build it. Build according to order.” The children begin to work.
At 10.00 it’s time for the children to go to the bathroom. After that they play a game of tag. At 10.45 it’s bath time for the boarding students. Three or four at a time the children bathe in large tubs. The children return to the classroom and Ms. Wang drills them in addition and subtraction.
Later lunch is delivered from the central kitchen. Ms. Xiang reminds the children to eat in silence and not to waste any food. After lunch it is time to go to the dormitory for a nap. Nap time lasts from noon to 2.30. While the children rest the teachers catch up on paper work, eat and relax in the classroom next door.
After returning to their classroom the children are taught to recite a story. Then they move outside for some relay races. At 5 P.M. the children have supper – a meal of meat, vegetables and rice. At 6 P.M. the parents arrive to pick up their children. Inside the boarders listen to music before getting ready for bed. By 7.45 the children are all in bed and by 8.00 all are quiet and asleep.
