MY WORKING DAY
Every day I get up at half past six. Our classes start at nine o’clock. I live rather far from the academy and it takes me an hour and a half to get to it. I leave for the academy at half past seven. As a rule, I go to the academy by metro. It is the fastest and the most convenient means of public transport in St. Petersburg. Every day we have three or four classes: lectures, seminars or practical classes. We listen to the lecturer and take notes at lectures and we do laboratory works, perform experiments, read and translate texts, discuss different philosophical works and problems at practical classes and seminars. Around 1 p. m. we have a lunch break at the academy. There are many subjects in our curriculum: anatomy, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, biology and others. My favorite subjects are anatomy and English. I like anatomy because it is a very important subject for my future work as a vet and I like English because it is necessary to know English in the modern world, besides every highly qualified professional should know at least one foreign language. Usually our classes are over at half past four. After classes, I go straight home or sometimes stay in the library for another hour to get ready with my home assignment. When I come home, I have dinner, a little rest and then do my home assignments for the next day. Usually it takes me two or three hours to do everything. There are twenty students in my academic group. We are all good friends and help each other in different situations. Sometimes we spend our free time together. I should say that it is very interesting to study at the veterinary academy, but not so easy. I often get home very tired, but I like to study at the academy and I hope to graduate from it in five years with a diploma of a qualified vet. On Sunday, I usually get up later, have breakfast and do whatever I like: visit my friends, go shopping or stay at home and have a rest. When I have time, I like to read books, watch TV, surf the Internet or, when the weather is good, I go for a walk. I like to walk along the streets and embankments of our city and admire its beauty.
