II. Read, translate and retell the text:

      Nick is a student. He studies at the Altai State Technical University.
He is in the first year of the full-time department, so he goes to the
University every day except Sunday. It takes much effort to study at the
University and he tries to keep regular hours. Nick’s classes begin at 8.15.
He lives far from the University, so he must get up very early. The alarm
clock wakes him up at 6.30 a.m. Sometimes he turns off the alarm and lies
in bed until his mother wakes him up again. While his mother wakes him up
she is repeating the words: «An early riser is sure to be in luck».
      He jumps out of bed, opens the window, does his morning exercises to
the music, makes the bed and goes to the bathroom. In the bathroom he
shaves, cleans his teeth and washes his face and hands. Sometimes he takes
a cold or a warm shower. Then he dries himself on a towel and combs his
hair in front of the mirror. Then he goes back to his room and dresses. In
some minutes he is ready for breakfast. He usually has a cup of tea or coffee
and a sandwich or two. Nick is always in a hurry because he doesn’t want to
be late for classes. At 7.30 he leaves home for the University. He usually
gets to the University by bus. The bus stop is only a few minutes walk from
Nick’s house. It takes him about half an hour to get to the University. So, he
comes to the University some minutes before the bell rings. He has enough
time to get everything ready for his classes. His days are not like each other
because he has a different time-table every day. As a rule he has 2 or 3
lectures and a seminar or a lab. Sometimes there is a gap of 2 hours that
comes in between lectures or practical classes and it’s not convenient for
both students and teachers. Nick does his best not to miss classes because he
knows that missing classes is a sure way to fail at exams. At about 12
o’clock he has a break for lunch. Nick doesn’t go to the canteen he takes a
snack in the buffet. After the break classes go on. They are usually over at
about 2 o’clock. After classes Nick usually goes home but sometimes he
stays in the reading-room to get ready for a seminar. After a day of hard
work Nick feels very tired and he hurries home. At home he has dinner and
a short rest, then he does his homework and helps his mother about the
house. In the evening Nick watches a serial or a detective story on TV.
