The medical student about himself

My name is …. I was born in … in Stavropol. I am … years old.

This year I finished the secondary school. From earliest schooldays I had dreamed to become a doctor. This year I passed the General State Examinations successfully and entered the General Medicine Faculty of the Stavropol State Medical Academy. Now I’m a first-year student of the Academy.

I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is large. I have got a mother, a father, a sister, a brother and a grandmother. My mother is a pediatrician. She works at a clinic. She is a good-looking woman with brown hair. She is forty-four but she looks much younger. My mother keeps house and takes care of me, my brother and my father. She is very good at cooking and is clever with her hands. My father and I try to help her with the housework. I wash the dishes, go shopping and tidy our flat.

My father is a computer programmer. He is a broad-shouldered, tall man with fair hair and grey eyes. He is forty-six. He is also handy with many things. When we are at home and have some free time, we watch video or football matches together.

My parents have been married for twenty-six years. They have much in common, but they have different views on music, books, films, and sports. But they have the same opinion about my education and upbringing.

My grandmother is a pensioner. She lives with us and helps to run the house.

My sister Helen is twenty-three. She is married and has a family of her own. She works as an accountant at a joint venture company. Her husband is a lawyer. They have a son. They live not far from us.

My brother Alex is fifteen. He is a schoolboy. He wants to become an economist, but he is not sure yet. And some words about me. I’m tall, fair-haired and even-tempered. I always try to be in a good mood.

We have a lot of relatives. We are deeply attached to each other and we get on very well.

MY WORKING DAY

My working day begins about seven o’clock. I put on my dressing gown and slippers and go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I take a shower and go back to the bedroom to dress.

I have breakfast at a quarter to eight. I always cook breakfast myself and try to make something special. I like bacon and eggs, sausages and cheese and a cup of tea or coffee. I wish mother wouldn’t worry about me.

After breakfast I go to the Academy by bus. It takes me half an hour to get to the Academy. I never arrive late. I can say that my study at the Academy is very interesting. Every day I have one lecture and two practical classes which are delivered by our qualified teachers (assistants) and professors. They are very good specialists. My dream is to become a good doctor and I hope it will come true.

At 13 o’clock we have a break for lunch. I usually have lunch with a friend of mine. I take stewed meat or beefsteak or chops with salad and a cup of coffee or tea. My friend likes a proper meal. He has soup, steak, or fish with vegetables and juice. We have a chat before beginning our lessons again.

Sometimes after classes I go to the library where I read additional literature on Anatomy, Biology, History and other subjects. Twice a week I go to the dissecting-room. Here I prepare for my Anatomy classes.

Sometimes I help my mother to do some shopping. I prefer to buy vegetables and fruit, milk, butter and cheese, bread and sugar. I help her to clean the flat.

At half past seven we have supper. I like this time best of all. Sometimes we talk, listen to music or watch television. But usually I have a lot of work to do. I have to prepare for my classes. I go to bed at 12 o’clock.

I like swimming and once a week I go to the swimming pool.
