My Working Day

I am an office worker at the local authorities Department of education and I am also a student at the Moscow International Law and Economics Institute after A.S. Griboyedov by correspondence. In a few years I am going to be a lawyer.

I am very busy, because I often go to other towns on business and have to do a lot of work for my examinations at the University.

I have a husband and a daughter. My husband is a manager of a firm. His name is Peter. He is about thirty. He is very busy. But we are very friendly and do everything together. My daughter is five. Her name is Diana. We take her to the kindergarten: my husband takes her there in the morning; I take her home in the evening.

I get up at 6.30 (half past six), do my morning exercises wash dress and go to the kitchen to cook breakfast for my family and me. We have breakfast and leave home at about 8 o’clock. My working day begins at 8.30. My husband drives me to work and then he takes our daughter to the kindergarten. I take her home in the evening.

I have lunch at 12 o’clock at the canteen in my office. I have some time to do the shopping during the lunch break. Very often I do the shopping after work. But usually I buy everything at the weekend.

My working day lasts till 5.30 (half past 5) in the evening. When I come home I cook the supper, do the laundry. My husband comes home at 7 o’clock and we have supper. After supper my husband plays with our daughter or reads the newspapers and books. My daughter likes to watch TV before going to bed. She goes to bed at 8.30.

When my daughter goes to bed I can spend a few hours on my classes or papers. I usually go to bed after 12 o’clock.

I sometimes go to the library to read up before exams. Then I go to bed later than after mid-night.

We sometimes go to the cinema or theatre. But we cannot do it very often because we have to leave our daughter with my husband’s parents. They do not live with us.
