Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст (Read and translate the text):
I am very busy on my week-days. My week-days do not differ much one from another. On week-days my working day begins early in the morning. My school starts at 8 o’clock, so I have to get up at 7, to be ready in time. I never wake up myself, my mother always wakes me up. Sometimes I do my morning exercises, then I rush to the bathroom. I clean my teeth, wash my face. The cold water makes me feel not so sleepy. Then I go back to my room, make the bed. I switch on my radio, usually I listen to radio. I put on my clothes, comb my hair, put a little make-up. By that time my breakfast is ready (my mother cooks it for me). At a quarter to eight I grab my bag and rush to my school. My school starts at 8 o’clock and I don’t like to be late. Usually I have six or seven lessons a day, it lasts till 3 o’clock. After each lesson there is a break, so I can talk to my friends or eat my sandwich. When school is over I go home. First of all, I need to walk my dog. Then I have my dinner and a little rest. The teachers give us a lot of homework, so I start doing it about 16. 30 or 17. 00. As a rule, it takes me two or three hours to do my home assignments. My parents get home about six o’clock. We watch soap opera on TV, have supper together. We share all the news, I tell about the lessons and school. After it, I help my mother to do some work about the house — wash dishes, sweep the floor, clean the room. Twice a week in evenings I go play tennis. When I do not go to play tennis, I stay home and watch TV, listen to the music, read magazines. Sometimes my friends call me and we go for a walk. At eleven o’clock tired after a long working day I go to bed and fall asleep.

Задание 3. Прочитайте текст «Мой рабочий день» (Read the text “My week day”):
Many of you are either applying or thinking of applying to medical school — but what is it really like? I am a student. My dream has come true. A new life began. I guess it is not easy to study at the Medical College. Every day I have much work to do. My week-days don’t differ much one from another. My working day begins early. English people say: «Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise». I am not an early riser, but I have to get up at 7 a. m. At a quarter past 8 a. m. I leave the hostel for the college. I go to there on foot as it is not far from the hostel where I live. Many of our students live at home. They go to the college by bus or trolley bus. Our classes usually begin at 8. 30 a. m. Every medical school has a different curriculum. A student goes to college for 4–8 hours of a traditional lecture-based format, and then comes home and studies.
Medical school is difficult due to the large amount of material presented and tested in each course. The students have practical classes, lectures and seminars in numerous theoretical and special subjects. For most students, the hardest course, right at the beginning, appears to be Biochemistry taught in the first semester of the first year. Physiology, Pathology and Pharmacology are also very intense course.
Like most of our students I attend all the lectures as they are delivered by qualified teachers, and are very interesting and important. We work much in class, at our laboratories and library to get deep knowledge. As the students want to become not ordinary but good specialists they must study not only their text-books but read special medical literature in Russian and foreign languages. So English, German and French are taught at our college. To know some foreign language is necessary for every person because its knowledge also helps to learn more about culture, science, life and other events abroad. The students carry out research work and then make reports at the conferences. My classes are over either at 2. 40 or 4. 10 p. m.
Right after classes I go straight to the hostel. Sometimes I go to the library to take some books or articles necessary for my studies.
