I Text 1. PETER'S WORKING DAY

Peter's working day is rather tight. He wakes up at seven o'clock. He opens the window, makes his bed and does his morning exercises. He likes to take a cold shower every morning, so he puts on his slippers and goes to the bathroom. He rubs himself hard with a towel and soon he feels quite warm. Then Peter shaves, brushes his teeth, washes his face and goes back to the bedroom to dress and comb his hair. In half an hour he is ready for breakfast. As a rule he does not prepare breakfast, his mother does it for him, but if she leaves home early he prepares it himself. For breakfast Peter usu­ally has eggs, sausage or cheese sandwiches and a cup of coffee or tea. During break­fast he listens to the news or music on the radio.

At eight o'clock Peter leaves for the uni­versity. His university is far from his home, so he goes there by bus or by tram. His classes begin at half past eight. As a rule, Peter has three or four classes a day. At two o'clock he has a bite to eat at the university canteen.

Peter never gets home before five or six. He usually stays at the University to study in the lab or in the library.jWhen he gets home he has his dinner. He usually has a little rest and then at seven he sits down to do his homework. It takes him a couple of hours to get it done. In the evening after supper Peter likes to sit down in the chair with a good book or watch TV. Sometimes he goes to the cinema or visits his friends or they come to visit him. He has a lot of friends and they often spend time together, especially on Sundays.

As soon as he feels sleepy he brushes his teeth, goes to the bedroom, sets his alarm slock for seven and goes to bed. Although Peter is a hard-working student he never has:ime to do all he wants to do.
