My working day

My working day begins early. I always get up at 7 o’clock. Before I leave for the college I have a lot of things to do. First of all I do my morning exercises. I like to do my morning exercises to music. Then I go to the bathroom where I wash myself, clean my teeth and dress. At a quarter to eight I have breakfast. It doesn’t take me long to have breakfast. At a quarter past eight I leave home for the college. As I live far from the college, I go there by bus. It usually takes me half an hour to get there. I am never late. I always come to the college in time. Between classes we have short breaks. I usually have dinner in the canteen of our college, which is always full of people.

As a rule, we have four lectures or seminars a day. Classes are over at ten minutes to two. Sometimes I stay at the college if I have some social work to do. Sometimes I stay at the college because I need a book or an article, which I only can 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 or do their lessons.

After classes I usually walk home. I like to walk after a busy day at the college. It usually takes me about three hours to prepare my lessons.

In the evening I watch TV, or read books, or play computer games. Sometimes if I have time, I go to the cinema. Then I have supper with my family. I like evening very much because all of us gather together after work and study and have the opportunity to talk and to discuss our family affairs. I usually go to bed at 12 o’clock.
