       On weekdays I usually get up early. The alarm-clock wakes me up
at 7 o’clock. I get up, open the window and do my morning exercises.
Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash myself. After
that I dress and sit down to breakfast. Usually I make breakfast myself.
While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the radio.
       After breakfast I go to work. I leave the house at 8 and go to the
nearest bus stop. Last year I tried to enter the Institute but I failed my
entrance examinations. I work in a small business company as a secretary.
While studying at school I have studied typewriting, computing and busi-
ness organisation. The company where I work is rather far from our house
and I generally go there by bus. It takes me thirty minutes to get to work.
On my way there I can read a book or a newspaper.
       My working day begins at nine, but I arrive at work at ten minutes
to nine.
At one o’clock I have a break for lunch. I usually have lunch in the can-
teen. Then I come back and work till five o’clock. My working day lasts
seven hours. Sometimes during the working day we have short coffee
breaks.
       I come home at about six o’clock in the evening. I have dinner to-
gether with my parents and then go to the Institute. The lectures begin at
seven o’clock. I live not far from the Institute, so I usually walk there. It
takes me only ten minutes to get there and I always come to the lectures in
time.
       The lectures are over at a quarter to ten.
       When I come back from the Institute I have supper and then we sit
in the living room, drink tea, watch TV and talk.
       On the days when I have no classes at the Institute I generally stay
at home. I do my homework and write test- papers. Sometimes I go to the
library where I work two or three hours. As a rule I have no free time on
my week- days.
       At about twelve at night I go to bed.
