V. “Arman’s working day.”

Read and translate the text:“My working day.”

My alarm clock rang at 7.15 as usual. And, as usual, I lay in bed for another ten minutes. Then I got up, made my bed, washed, and cleaned my teeth. Then I went back to my room where I dressed myself and combed my hair. In half an hour I was ready for breakfast, my mother usually makes it for me. After breakfast I put on my coat, took the bag and went to the University.

I like to go to the University by bus, it takes me twenty minutes to get there. When I got off the bus I walked to my study. I don’t want to be late for the first lesson so I came to the University a few minutes before the bell. I left my coat in the cloakroom and went upstairs to the classroom.

Classes begin at 8.30 and they are over at 16.30 in the afternoon. I usually have four pairs a day with short breaks between them. But yesterday I had three pairs, so I came home earlier and had dinner.

After dinner I had a short rest, read newspapers, made some telephone calls. Sometimes when my group mates and I go to the library after classes we go to the canteen and have dinner there. Then I did my homework. It usually takes me three hours to do the homework. As a rule I have very little free time on my weekdays. But when I have some spare time I help my parents about the house.

Eight o’clock is supper time in our family. As usual, we all got together in the kitchen, then went to the sitting-room and watched TV, read newspapers and books and discussed different problems. Twice a week I play volleyball with my friends in the evening. I am a member of the University volleyball team. So, yesterday I went to the sport club, which is next to my house and played volleyball. At about 11 at night I went to bed.
