Task I. Read and translate the text:
My working day
I want to describe you my daily actions which I did, more or less regularly, on weekdays during my final year at school. There was little variation in my life then; all days except weekends looked very much the same.
On weekdays my working day began early in the morning. As a matter of fact, I am not an early-riser, that’s why I hate getting up early, but I got used to it, I usually got up at about 7 o’clock. Then I did my morning exercises and went to the bathroom to wash my face and hands with soap and clean my teeth with toothpaste. I didn’t take a shower in the morning. I generally did it late in the evening before going to bed. At a quarter past seven I was ready to have my breakfast. As a rule, I had a quick light breakfast which consisted of a cup of coffee or tea, a boiled egg or an omelette and a cheese or sausage sandwich. After breakfast I put on my coat, took my bag and left for school.
As my school is not far from my house, it took me 10 minutes to get there. I never took a bus or a trolley-bus on my way to school, I usually walked there.
Six or seven lessons a day was the ordinary timetable. I seldom had lunch in the canteen, because I usually had packed one in my bag (an apple and a sandwich).
The classes at school were over at about three o’clock. Twice a week I stayed at school later to play table-tennis.
When I came home my mother always had dinner ready just in time. Then I changed my school uniform and had a rest. While resting, I listened to the music or looked through the newspapers or magazines. Then I started doing my home assignments. It took me about five hours to cope with my homework properly. I normally finished doing my homework at 10 o’clock in the evening. So I hadn’t much time for television and friends, because I had to work hard at all the subjects during my final year at school. But sometimes I managed to see an interesting film.
I did well in most school subjects without any effort. Besides, I have managed to help my mother about the house and do our shopping, go to the library and have private lessons in English in order to improve it.
And I must admit that school life was a very interesting page of my life. I had good friends at school and some lessons were interesting.
After supper I usually relaxed for some time and then went on with my homework.
As a rule, I went to bed at about 11o’clock or even later.
