There are three rooms in our flat: a living room and two bedrooms. We also have a kitchen, a bathroom, a small entrance hall and a balcony.

And go back when it's light."

Dear Uncle,
I am glad to inform you that I live now in quite comfortable lodgings. My room is a bit small, rather dark and terribly cold, for my landlady requires extra pay for heating it. But I have to put up with it as I can't afford a better one. I even find my room nice and cozy. Though, to tell the truth, I can't call it quiet. Some good-for-nothing young people make an awful noise upstairs. Almost every evening they dance and sing and laugh at silly things. All of it greatly interferes with my studies. I spend my days in reading for the examinations. I need lots of money to buy books. I hate to ask you to send me an extra sum of money. I think it's a shame. I hate to trouble you. I hope the postman will lose my letter.
Sincerely, your nephew Mike.

On week-days I usually get up at 7 o’clock. As I am a student of the faculty of Physical Culture and Sport I always try to do my morning exercises. Then I take a shower and have breakfast.
After breakfast I go by bus to the University. It takes me 40 minutes to get there. I’m always in a hurry but sometimes I am late for classes. But usually I try to attend all classes and lectures. According to the time-table I have 4 classes a day. At 11.20 a.m. I have dinner at the University canteen. I usually have something substantial for dinner. For example soup for the first course, meat or fish with some vegetables for the second. Then I drink a cup of tea.
After classes I go to the library to do my homework or sometimes I do it at home. In the evening I go to the gym or to the swimming pool in order to keep me fit.
Eight o'clock is supper time in our family. We all get together in the kitchen, then go to the sitting room and watch TV, read books or discuss different problems.

My day off
Most people in our country work five days a week but students and pupils work six days. They have only one day off. It is Sunday.
I like this day very much. You needn't hurry anywhere and you may go wherever you like after your week's work. On this day I wake up later than usual. But sometimes I don't get up till nine or ten o'clock.
As soon as I get up I air the room, make my bed and do morning exercises. Then I have breakfast, clear away the dishes and wash up. Two more hours for getting ready with my homework and I am free.
I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together. We may go to the cinema or theatre, to the cafe or park.
In fine weather we also like to be out of town. We find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. We lie in the sun, play different games and swim. In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink. Skating is my favorite kind of sport, but I like to ski too.
When the weather is bad my friends come to my place. We listen to music or go to the cinema. We like action films and films about the life of the youth abroad.
In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have our supper, make plans for tomorrow, watch TV or read books. Reading is my hobby. Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go for a walk. I enjoy my days off very much.

My hobby is collecting stamps. At first, I collected the stamps of all countries, but there are too many, so now I collect only Greek and Indian ones, because I have friends in Greece and I live in India. Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at the stamps carefully, they teach you a lot about the history of their country.
My small brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an engine goes through the station, he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very much, but I don't. I went to the station with him one day but it wasn't interesting, I thought.
My big sister's hobby is sewing. She makes most of her clothes and when I tear my shirt or my trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.
My father has a hobby, too. It is gardening. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon and sometimes on other summer evenings, too, he digs, or cuts the thick grass, or plants flowers.
