My week day

I am very busy on my week-days. My week-days do not differ much one from another.

On week-days the alarm-clock wakes me up and my working day begins early. If it is spring or summer I jump out of bed, run to the window and open it wide to let the fresh morning air in.The bright sun and the singing of birds set me into a cheerful working mood. My classes starts at 9 o`clock, so I have to get up at 8,to be ready in time. I never wake up myself, my mother always wakes me up.

Sometimes I do my morning exercises, then I rush to the bathroom. I clean my teeth, wash my faсe. The cold water makes me not so sleepy. Sometimes I have a shower. If I am not short of time I tidy up the room. While I am having breakfast, I switch on the radio and listen to the news.

Breakfast, as doctors say, must be the most substantial meal of the day.

I live the house at ten minutes to nine and as I live quite near the house I like to walk there in any weather. On my way to the University I often meet my friends and we go on together.

.My parents get home about six o`clock. We have supper together. We share all the news, I tell about the lessons and school.

After it, I help my mother to do some work about the house-wash dishes, sweep the floor, clean the room.

Twice a week in evenings I go to play tennis. When I do not go to play tennis, I stay home and watch TV, listen to the music, read magazines. Sometimes my friends call me and we go for a walk. In summer I like to get out more, so in the evening I go to the tennis court for a few sets of tennis or take out my bike for a run in the country.

At eleven o`clock tired after a long working day I go to bed and fall asleep.

My days off

When I was a pupil my only regular day off was Sunday.

It was a day of freedom from routine duties and studies. I could do whatever I wished and I could go wherever I wanted. I could also stay the whole day at home and have a good rest.

But I must admit that every day off needs some special planning. Time passes quickly and if you have no plans be sure to have no results. You may spend your time on trifles.

So, I`ll try to describe my common day off. If I planned to get out into the open air, I had to get up very early to catch the train. When the sky is blue and the sun is shining my friends and I like to go to the riverside for our ideal day out. A walk or a drive in the country may be a good alternative. But such way of relaxation is acceptable only in early autumn or late spring. Our winter days off differ greatly . In winter , if you want to skate or to ski, It is not necessary to get out of town. You can do it not far from your home.

Sometimes , when the weather was nasty , I could afford myself to relax and not to be in a hurry .So I could stay in bed and not get up till 10 or even11 o`clock in the morning Only then I had my breakfast .I watched TV , played with my little sister, did some reading, prepared my hometask and after that went to a friend of mine to play chess or go to the cinema with him. I`m not a great cinemagoer, but I like to see feature films and to enjoy historical adventure films. I find these films most instructive and entertaining.

My evenings I prefer to spend at home .At about 7 o`clock we have supper. It`s a good opportunity for the family to discuss the events of the day and our plans for the coming day.

I must stay that I`m a great reader but I never had enough time to enjoy it.

On Sunday my usual bedtime was 11 o`clock as I wanted to have a good sleep before starting a new week of studies.
