breakfast. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee, an egg and a sandwich. As a
rule, I have lectures at 8.30 and leave early. I usually take a bus (trolleybus) to
the university. It never takes me more than 20 minutes to get there and I’m never
late for my classes. We usually have 3 or 4 classes running a day. These are
practical lessons, lectures and seminars. During one of the breaks I go to the
canteen to have a glass of tea and a bun. But if I have to stay at the reading-hall I
have a substantial meal at the canteen.
After classes I go home and have dinner. I take a half an hour’s rest
during which I look through the newspapers and magazines and relax and then
resume studies. There are always grammar rules to learn, some exercises to be
done orally or in writing, a chapter or two from the home book to read for my
German and English studies. But this is not all – I read books for my Literature
course and get ready for a seminar in one of the subjects. All this makes my
evenings extremely busy. Of course, I have some breaks for watching TV,
listening to my favourite music and telephone chats with my friends. If the
weather is fine I go for a walk to take a breath of fresh air. I also have supper
with my parents and then I wash up and sweep the floor in the kitchen with a
broom. By 11 o’clock I usually feel tired and sleepy and go to bed soon after 11
but more than once I sit up late to prepare for the next day. I like an old English
proverb, “An early bird catches the worm”.
