My working day

Usually I get up at 7 o’clock on week-days. I make my bed and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom. There I take a shower, clean my teeth and brush my hair. After that I go back to my bedroom and dress myself. In five minutes I am ready for breakfast. Usually my mother makes it for me, but sometimes I make it myself. While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the radio. After that I take my bag, put on my coat and go to the university.

I live not far from my university and it takes me 20 minutes to get to it on foot or 10 minutes by bus. I am never late for the first lesson. The lessons begin at 8 o’clock. Sometimes after the lessons I go to the library to take some books. I usually do my homework at home.

I try not to waste the time and help my mother about the house. Twice a week I go to the swimming pool. Also I play volleyball in the university team.

In the evening my family gets together. We have supper, watch TV or just talk. By the end of the week I get very tired. That’s why I always look forward to my weekend.

My day off

The last two days of the week are called the weekend. Weekend is my favourite time of the week because I don’t go to the university. Also I can sleep longer than usual.

After breakfast I get ready with my homework and then I am free. I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together.

….

I like the weekend. I think if we spend it well, we’ll begin the next week with pleasure.
