Lesson 2.1.1. Working day

Lead-in

Remember your working day. How do you usually spend it?

Reading

Read and translate the text paying attention to the underlined words. Try to explain their meaning.

My working day

I am an ordinary school-leaver. This spring I finish school. I want to finish school with good and excellent marks. I understand that I must work very hard. So, I have to plan daily round very carefully in order to be able to do more in less time.

My parents gave me a day–planner for my birthday as a present it is really very helpful. In my day-planner I write down my programme for a day, a week and even a month ahead, all my meetings and appointments and the most important things for the future.

I set up a few goals, as to take part in the centralized testing in the Russian language and Mathematics. In fact, I have a lot of work to do, I must be well-organized.

Here’s a picture of what I usually do on weekdays.

My working day begins very early. I get up at 6.30 a.m. and in any weather I run out for a round of jogging in the nearest park. Then I go to the bathroom to take a cold shower. After that, I have very substantial, almost English breakfast: some cornflakes, eggs, and bacon, toasts with butter and marmalade and a cup of white coffee.

Then I walk to school as my school is near my house and it takes me only 15 minutes to get there.

I am never late for my classes and always come to school in time.

Every day I have 6 or 7 lessons till 2 o’clock p.m. I have lunch at the canteen. I often stay at school after lessons. I am a member of two clubs. Many interesting people come to us. We listen to interesting lectures and take part in the discussions on the problems which are interesting for schoolchildren. I am also keen on sports. I go in for tennis and swimming.

I come home in the afternoon, have dinner and after a short rest do my homework. Usually I do it at home or sometimes go to the library.

At about 9 p.m. I am through with my sums, exercises and compositions. On weekdays I never go out. I just relax or enjoy quiet evening with my best friend or with my family. We watch TV, look through newspapers, play computer games, listen to the music. Sometimes I write letters to my friends.

I go to bed at 11 p.m.
