MY WORKING DAY

I usually get up at half past six. I open the window, make my bed and do my morning exercises. Then I wash, clean my teeth and dress. In half an hour I'm ready for breakfast. I go into the kitchen and have breakfast. After breakfast I put on my hat and coat, take my bag and go to the Institute of Economics, Management and Law. I go there by bus. It takes me 25 (twenty-five) minutes to get to the institute. Classes begin at eight o'clock. We usually have six or eight classes every day. After the lessons I go home, have dinner and have a short rest.

In the evening I do my homework. Sometimes I go to the cinema or visit my friends in the evening. At 7 o'clock I have supper. After supper our family get together in the living room where we talk, read newspapers and books and watch TV. At eleven o'clock I go to bed.

THE DAY'S WORK BEGINS

Anna's alarm clock rang at a quarter past seven as usual. And, as usual, she lay in bed for another ten minutes. Then she got up, washed, cleaned her teeth and combed her hair. Then she had breakfast.

Anna likes to go to work by bus; it takes her twenty-five minutes to get to work by bus. When she got off the bus she walked to her office. She got there at a quarter to nine. Fifteen minutes later one of the office girls opened the main door. The first customer arrived. The day's work began.

Anna likes to take things easy, but Susan is always in a hurry, sometimes late and often absent-minded. Classes at the business college usually start at nine fifteen, except on Fridays when the first class begins at ten.

Michael, her brother, usually bangs on her bedroom door at eight o'clock. He did so that morning. "All right," said Susan, but she just turned over and went to sleep again. At half past eight Michael went upstairs and banged on his sister's door again. Susan jumped out of bed, washed herself quickly and ran back to her room. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, but looked at her watch and understood that she didn't have time for breakfast. "Bye, mother," she said and ran out. Mrs. Bond did the washing up. She had ten minutes before she had to leave for work. She sat down and smoked a cigarette. Suddenly the house seemed very lonely. She was glad that she had a job. Not because she needed money but she did not want to be alone all day in her house.
