My Working Day
My working day begins early. I always get up at 7 o’clock. Before I leave for the Academy I have a lot of things to do. First of all I do my morning exercises. When doing them I usually open the window and switch on the radio. I like to do my morning exercises to music. Then I go to the bathroom where I wash, clean my teeth and dress. At a quarter to eight I am ready to have breakfast. While having breakfast I often listen to the latest news on the radio or watch TV.
It doesn’t take me long to have breakfast. At a quarter past eight I leave home for the Academy. As I live far from the Academy I go there by bus or by tram. It usually takes me half an hour to go there.
I am never late. I always come to the Academy in time. Between classes we have short breaks. At 13.20 we have a long break for dinner. I usually have dinner in the canteen of our Academy, which is always full of people at this time.
As a rule we have three or four lectures or seminars a day. Classes are over at twenty minutes past three. Sometimes I stay at the Academy because I need a book or an article which I can only get in the reading room. Before and after classes in the reading room there are always a great many students who read different books and articles, work at their reports.
After classes I usually walk home. I like to walk after a busy day at the Academy. When I come home I have dinner and short rest. Then I prepare my lessons. It usually takes me about three hours. In the evening I have supper and watch TV or surf the Internet. Sometimes if I have time, I meet with my friends or go to the cinema. I usually go to bed at 11o’clock.
