2. Read and translate the text:
My every day activities are quite routine. They do not differ much from those of any other student. On weekdays I usually get up at 6.30. My mother or an alarm-clock wakes me up. I make my bed, open the window and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth, wash my face and hands and take a shower. I dress, brush my hair and go to the kitchen.
Now I am ready for breakfast. For breakfast I usually have toasted bread, fried eggs and a cup of tea or coffee. After it I put on my coat, take my bag and leave for the University.
As I live far from the University it takes me 40 minutes to get there by bus. I dont want to be late for the first lesson so I come to the University a few minutes before the bell. I leave my coat in the cloakroom and go upstairs to the classroom.
The lesson begin at a quarter past eight. We usually have 3-4 lessons every day. We have lectures, seminars, practical classes. At 20 past one p.m. we have a break. Sometimes I go to the canteen to have a snack. When our lessons are over I go home. Sometimes I go to the library after classes to write a report.
As a rule I have something substantial for dinner. Then I have a short rest: read books or magazines, make some telephone calls or have a nap of an hour or two.
In the evening I first do my homework. We study many subjects at the University so it takes me two-three hours to get ready for the lessons. I have some troubles with English that is why I work with the dictionary and learn grammar rules. Then when I have some free time I go for a walk, meet friends, we chat about our student life and current events. Sometimes I prefer to stay at home. I watch TV, play computer games or to tell the truth do nothing. At 7 or 8 oclock I have supper alone or with my family.
At 11 oclock I go to the bathroom, clean teeth and go to bed. As I am usually very tired I fall asleep fast.
