My Daily Routine
|
|
I want to describe my daily actions which I do, more or less regularly, on weekdays. All days except weekends look very much the same.
On weekdays my working day begins early in the morning. As a matter of fact, I am not an early-riser, that's why I hate getting up early, but I got used to it, I usually get up at about 7 o'clock. Then I do my morning exercises and go to the bathroom to wash my face and hands with soap and brush my teeth with toothpaste. I don't take a shower in the morning I generally do it late in the evening before going to bed. At a quarter past seven I am ready to have my breakfast. As a rule, I have a quick light breakfast which consists of a cup of coffee or tea, a boiledegg or an omelet and a cheese or a sausage sandwich. After breakfast I put on my coat take my bag and leave for university. As my university is not far from my house, it takes me 10 minutes to get there. I never take a bus on my way to the university, I usually walk there.
Three or four pairs a day is the ordinary timetable. I seldom have lunch in the canteen, because I usually have packed one in my bag (an apple and a sandwich).
The classes at the university are over at about two o'clock. Sometimes I stay at the university later to prepare some practical classes at the library.
When I come home my mother always has dinner ready just in time. Then I change my clothes and have a rest. While resting, I listen to music or look through the newspapers or magazines. Then I start doing my homework. It takes me about five hours to cope with my homework properly. I normally finish doing my homework at 10 o'clock in the evening. So I haven't much time for television and friends, because I have to work hard at all the subjects. But sometimes I manage to see an interesting film.
I do well in most subjects without any effort. Besides, I manage to help my mother about the house and do our shopping. And I must admit that I have good friends at the university and sometimes we prepare our homework together.
After supper I usually relax for some time and then go on with my homework.
As a rule, I go to bed at about 11 o'clock or even later.
Reading Text
IN ANOTHER PERSON’S SHOES
Read the text and fill in the chart below the text. Use it to speak about the changes in Victoria’s and her father's routines when they changed places for a day.
To raise money for charity (to build an extension to the children's hospital), David Evans, a well-known British writer, decided to change places with his daughter Victoria. He went to school and sat through a full day of lessons. At first he was nervous as he is 44 and it's a long time since he was at school. But the teachers and students made him very welcome. That day Victoria's father had 9 different classes. On geography lesson David even got an excellent mark for his knowledge of the map of Australia. He did worse in science and mathematics as he didn't remember much from his school days. His answer in English literature was brilliant, but he failed in physical training class as he is out of practice. Mr. Evans said, «School is very different now, but ten times better. The children have more freedom and they are more independent. It was lucky my daughter wears trousers at school, so when we changed places I didn't have to wear a skirt.»
While her father was at school, Victoria, aged 17, stayed at home and did her father's jobs in the house. Victoria's mother is an archeologist and she is in Egypt now, so the father has to do much about the house. In the morning Victoria did the rooms and typed on the computer one chapter of her father's latest book. In the afternoon she worked in the garden. At four o'clock her father came home and told her about his day at school. Victoria had to make the dinner but, fortunately, she didn't have to do the washing up. Mr. Evans did it. After dinner he had to do his homework while Victoria read the paper and watched TV. She said, «I think I prefer my own normal day but just for once it was good to have a change!»

My Day Off
On weekdays I usually go to the University, but on my days off I prefer to rest. I think it is important for us to rest after hard work. That's why our weekends are more attractive than weekdays. At our leisure time we go in for sports, read the books, and go to the library, cinema, theatre, park, museum, or exhibition. Sometimes we go to the zoo or the circus and enjoy ourselves watching animals. As a rule, we try to spend most of the time outdoors. Some people prefer to go to the country to see their relatives and friends. In winter we like to go to the winter forest to ski and skate. After having such a pleasant rest in the open air, you are always happy to return home and have a rest sitting near the TV-set and watching an interesting TV programme. In summer and spring picnics are popular with students. They are fond of picnics chiefly because they have an excellent opportunity to admire the beauty of nature, to run on the grass and to play interesting games, to have a bite without observing table manners. But the most exciting event is making a fire. They are fond of collecting wood in the forest and sitting round the fire. And again, they like to return home after a picnic. And now they think that «there is no place like home» as the saying goes.
Many people like to go to the cinema and theatre on weekends and holidays and enjoy seeing an interesting film or performance.
As for me, my days off are normally like this. I hate getting up early and on weekends I can afford to wake up later than usual. As a rule, I get up at 8 o'clock. Then I do my morning exercises, wash my face and hands and brush my teeth. After having breakfast I relax a little: listen to a lovely music and try to forget about all my problems. Then I can visit my friends and have a chat with them about our life. Sometimes my friends and I go to the museum or an exhibition. As a rule, my activities on weekends depend on my plans, but in any case I manage to do a lot of things and to have a rest. I always try to do my best to have a really good time. But unfortunately time flies quickly on weekends, and the next Monday morning comes, and I am looking forward to my next day off.
