STUDENT’S WORKING DAY

Hi againЃEAs you already know, I am Victor and I am a first-year student of the Technical Academy.

Now, let me describe my usual working day. My classes begin at nine o’clock. So on weekdays I have to get up at half past seven. My alarm clock usually wakes me up and my working day begins. I turn on radio, do my morning exercises, take a shower and brush my teeth. After that I get dressed and comb my hair. Then I have breakfast. I love to listen to the latest news on the radio while I am eating.

I leave the house at ten minutes past eight and walk to the nearest bus stop. I live rather far from the Academy and it usually takes me about a quarter of an hour to get there by bus. Sometimes when the weather the weather is fine and I have enough time I walk to the Academy.

As a rule we have three or four classes a day. We have lectures in different subjects. Usually I don’t miss my classes because I want to pass my examinations successfully. But sometimes I do, especially when the weather is fine and the classes are boring.

At twelve o’clock we have a big interval for lunch. That’s my favourite time. That is the time to share the latest news my friends. I prefer not to go to the canteen and we often lunch in a small cafe not too far from the Academy. At one o’clock we have to be back to our classes. During the working day we also have several short intervals that last for ten minutes.

From time to time I have to stay at the academy till late in the evening because I go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. As a rule I have no free time on weekdays. So, by the end of the week I get very tired.

I come home at about 7 o’clock in the evening. My parents are already at home. We have supper together. After supper we wash dishes, drink coffee or tea and watch TV. I prefer old comedies and serials or films about travelling. Sometimes I go for a walk in the park or visit my friends.

At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like to read something before going to bed or to listen to some music. Sometimes I fall asleep while I am reading.
