My Working Day
Hi! My name is Den. I’m a second year student of Omsk college of management and law. I usually start my day with getting up and doing all things that everybody does in the morning: washing, having breakfast, etc. Also, I got used to gather my learning tools: pencils, exercise-books, text-books in the morning. Then I usually go to the university. Fortunately, father takes a car every morning and he often picks me up and drives me to the doors of our college building.
And soon the lectures and lessons begin... We have from 2 to 4 lectures every time, depending on day. I like studying at college more than at school because at college it is mostly allowed to miss some lectures (of course, later you should take a summary from your mate and copy it). So, a student is much more free, than pupil is.
After the lessons I usually return home where I have dinner and start thinking about my ways of spending the rest of the day. Very often I go to my friend’s places. During the early autumn and summer I often go to the sports ground. I also like visiting different sports events, for example, soccer or hockey matches. So, the world is full of enjoyable things to do.
On returning home I usually start doing my homework (perhaps, it is the most dull part of the day). Having finished it, I open a book and read it or watch TV. At last, I go to the bed.
Of course, I would like to tell you more about myself and my working day, but, unfortunately, my time is rather limited and I have got a lot of homework to do. Generally, now you know about my working day enough.
My working day.
«An early riser is sure to be in luck».
Hi! I am a full time first-year student of the Krasnoyarsk State University of the Non-Ferrous Metals and Gold (Achinsk Branch). I live in Achinsk with my parents, but I want to live alone. My favourite phrase is: “I shall work and learn as long as I live”. Now, let me describe my usual working day. I get up at 7 o'clock every day. I turn on the tape-recoder. Than I sit down on the training-bicycle and begin to work – these are my morning exercises. Than I go to the bathroom, where I wash, brush my teeth. After that I go back to my room and get dressed. I brush my hair and put on a light make-up. Usually I don't have breakfast, but sometimes by the way I want to have something tasty. I put my exercise-books, pens and other things into my bag and go to the University. Our university is near my house. It takes me ten minutes to get there. In the street I see very many people. Some people go to their work; students go to their Universities. Children run to their schools. I see many trams and cars in the street. How happy I am. The classes begin at 8: 00 and they end at 4 p. m. We have lectures in different subjects. I don't miss my classes because I want to pass my exams successfully and in future I want to be a good specialist. At 11: 10 we have lunch. That's my favorite time. My friends and I go to the cafe. Sometimes we go to the university dining room. At 11: 35 we have to be back to our classes. As a rule I have no free time on week-days. So by the end of the week I get very tired. I come home at 2 or 4 o'clock. We eat supper together and share the latest news at 5 o'clock in the evening. At 6 o'clock I do my homework. Then at 8 p. m. I go for a walk with my friend. And I go to bed at 12 p. m.
