II. Read the text. Be ready to discuss it.
MY WORKING DAY
On week days the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.00 and my working day
begins. I’m not an early riser, that’s why it’s very difficult for me to get out of
bed, especially in winter. I switch on my tape-recorder and do my morning
exercises. Then I go to my bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash myself
(and shave). If I have enough time I take a shower. Then I go to my bedroom to
get dressed and to brush my hair. Usually my mother makes breakfast for me.
33
But when she is away on business or just doesn’t have to get up early, I make
breakfast myself. And my friend lives at a students’ hostel, he has to make his
breakfast himself. It may be a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich. While having
breakfast, he listens to the latest news or music on the radio.
I leave my house at 7.00 and go to the nearest bus or trolley-bus stop. It
takes me fifty minutes to get to the University. But I don’t want to waste my
time on the bus or trolley-bus. I’ve got a small cassette-player and I listen to
different texts and dialogues as I am fond of English. Sometimes I look through
my notes to revise the material for my practical classes. We don’t have bells at
our University, because classes begin at different time in each group. They may
start at 8 sharp or at 8.20 or 8.30. My friend lives not far from the main building
of our University so it takes him only five or seven minutes to get there. He
doesn’t want to be late for the first period so he comes to the University a few
minutes before classes begin.
I am a medical student. I study five days a week. Every day we have
practical classes in numerous theoretical and special subjects ... We perform
different laboratory works and work in the dissecting-room. In addition to one or
two practical classes we have a lecture or two every day. The attendance of the
lectures and practical classes is compulsory at our University. Students who
have missed some classes have to go to the tutorials. They are held on
Saturdays. Besides, we read a lot of literature in the reading-room. When we
have a long break between the periods we go to the University’s canteen to have
lunch. Then we come back to our classes and we study hard till 5 or 6 o’clock.
I come home at about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and have dinner. After
dinner I usually have a short rest or do some work about the house: wash and
iron linen, clean the flat, wash up the dishes, go shopping, etc. The first year at
the University is a pretty hard one. I have a lot of homework in every subject so
I am usually pressed for time. It takes me about four or five hours a day to
prepare for my classes. I normally finish doing my homework at 11 with hardly
any breaks since 6 o’clock. There is practically no time for television or friends.
As a rule I go to bed about midnight.
This is my usual working day. Weekends are more attractive, because I
can lie in bed till 11, I can watch TV, listen to music, meet my friends, go to the
cinema or to the theatre. And still I always look forward to my next working day
because I like my studies. I think I get a lot of useful knowledge.
