My working Day.

I want to tell you about my working day. My working days do not differ much one from another. I am very busy on my week-days.

I always follow the proverb :” Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”. That’s why my working day begins early in the morning. My classes start at 8 o'clock, so I have to get up at 6.30, in order not to be late for classes. I never wake up myself, my alarm clock or my mother always wakes me up. I don’t get up at once. I always like to stay in bed for 5 minutes. Then I always do my morning exercises because “ Sound mind in a sound body”, then I rush to the bathroom. I clean my teeth, wash my face. Then I go back to my room, make the bed. I switch on my radio, usually I listen to radio. I put on my clothes, comb my hair. By that time my breakfast is ready, my mother usually cooks it for me. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee, an egg and bread and butter for breakfast.

After breakfast I leave the house and I go to the University. I live not far from the University, I go there by metro. It takes me half an hour to get there. My classes start at 8 o'clock. We have three or four pairs a day. After classes I sometimes go to the library or I go home.

At home I have dinner. Then I have a little rest. Then if it is necessary I do shopping. I buy vegetables, fruits, fish or meat, some brown and white bread, biscuits and cakes there. The shop is not far from our house and it doesn't take much time to do shopping. Then I do my homework. It usually takes me three hours. Then I meet my friend and we go for a walk to the park or go to the cinema or to the disco. Sometimes I help my mother to do all work about the house. We wash our linen, iron and mend it, clean the flat. We beat the dust out of the carpets, vacuum the floors and polish them. It's not difficult to keep the flat tidy if you do your rooms regularly.

I have supper at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. I usually have some salad, sausage, cheese and bread, tea or milk, and curds.

In the evening I play computer games or watch TV or read books.

At 11 o'clock I go to bed.

I think my working day is busy but very interesting
