Plans for the summer holidays

Michael and his wife Helen talk about their plans for the coming holiday.

Michael: What about spending our holiday in California this time? I've always wanted to go to California.

Helen: In California? Why not in Hawaii?

Michael: Do you think we are so rich?

Helen: I think we can afford it if we do not stay at a very expensive hotel.

Michael: Well, I don't think so! Why not to go to the West Coast? California… a land of sunshine and golden beaches

Helen: OK, I'll go to the Travel Agency nest week. You know what we shall do? We'll book plane tickets in advance.

Michael: That's a good idea! By the way, I've got a guide book of California. Let's read what it says about this wonderful land.

Helen: Oh, what a beautiful view! The sea... I love the sea! We'll swim, we'll lie in the sun and go boating.

Michael: Yes, we'll take a boat trip along the coast and take pictures.

Helen: And when we come back we'll make an album of our wonderful holiday in California!

Michael: OK, I'll take my new camera then. I think we'll enjoy our holiday there.

MY WORKING DAY

I usually get up at half past six. I open the window, make my bed and do my morning exercises. Then I wash, clean my teeth and dress. In half an hour I'm ready for breakfast. I go into the kitchen and have breakfast. After breakfast I put on my hat and coat, take my bag and go to the Institute of Economics, Management and Law. I go there by bus. It takes me 25 (twenty-five) minutes to get to the institute. Classes begin at eight o'clock. We usually have six or eight classes every day. After the lessons I go home, have dinner and have a short rest.

In the evening I do my homework. Sometimes I go to the cinema or visit my friends in the evening. At 7 o'clock I have supper. After supper our family get together in the living room where we talk, read newspapers and books and watch TV. At eleven o'clock I go to bed.
