MY WORKING DAY

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Nick. I am a student of Krasnodar State University of Culture and Arts. This year I have finished school and entered the University. I want to become a lawyer.

I want to tell you about my usual day. It starts at 7 o'clock in the morning. It's rather easy to get up so early in summer. And, though, I am not a lazy-bones, it's, very difficult to get up at seven in winter. I regularly do my morning exercises. Then I take a cold shower. I am a good-eater and usually it takes me almost half an hour to have breakfast. Then I put оn my coat, take my bag and leave home at 7.45. My University is near my house. I'd rather say it's in 5 minutes walk from my place. The lessons begin at 8 o’clock sharp. I never miss classes. I attend University every day. Our University is situated in the centre of the city.

We study different subjects at school, such as mathematics, history, literature, philosophy, psychology and others. I think it is important for a student to operate a computer.

After University I go home. I have a lot to do every day. Bui first of all I have dinner. I have no time to go for a walk on my weekdays. I follow the principle that a good discipline will help me to study well and achieve more in my adult life. That's why I try to prepare my home work before my parents come home.

My Dad is an economist. My Mother is a French teacher. We like to spend our evenings together. After supper we discuss our everyday problems. Sometimes my parents are busy or go out. The other days friends come to see me. We watch films or listen to music together.

Now you can see that I am really very busy. My working day starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 11 p.m. But in spite of that I am happy.

to introduce — представлять, знакомить.; besides - кроме того; lazy-bones - лентяй; to confess - признаться; good-eater - лю­битель поесть; sharp - точно, ровно; to miss - пропускать; to attend - посещать, присутствовать; to be over — заканчи­ваться; rarely - редко; brilliant opportunity - блестящая воз­можность; to devote - посвящать; to follow - следовать; to achieve - достигать; adult - взрослый; final - последний; to be busy with - быть занятым; in spite of - несмотря на

MY HOBBY

There are different hobbies in the world. The most popular one is music. In the evening you may play the guitar. That would be nice. Or you may be interested in reading. It is very exciting, especially when you read the book in the orig­inal. You try to understand the meaning of new words from the contents, if you can. But sometimes this isn't pos­sible. Then you use a dictionary... Travelling is a thrill­ing hobby, isn't it? When it is fairly cool in London or Madrid you may go to your coun­try-house not far from Repino. You may ask me what I am driving at... I don't know whether you will like my hobby. For someone it's a hard work which takes a lot of time and skills. For me it's an inte­resting spare time work. I mean a computer. What is a computer? For fans like me it's a very specific kind of a counting machine. It can do arithmetic problems faster than any person alive. By means of electric circuit it can find the answer to a very difficult and complicated prob­lem in a few seconds. A computer can "remember" infor­mation you give to it. It stores the information in its, "memory" as long as it is necessary. We used to think of a computer as a large machine with many buttons and flashing lights that took up a whole room. But today computers are becoming smaller and smaller and are even being put inside other devices. I am interested in the history of computers. The facts prove that until 1940, developments in electronics took place at a comparatively slow pace. In 1955 computers began to use transis­tors. In that year IBM company marketed a great number of computers with this new device. Now I know a lot about computers. I began collecting this information at school, then I decided to take a training programme. I have my computer lessons three times a week. Our group has been working for two years and we have taken part in the regional competitions. So, you can imagine our happiness when our team won a victory over a very skilled team from Odessa.

I believe that my hobby will become my future profession. The types of computers available are as different as the types of musical instruments or books you read, or stamps you collect. But there is another similarity between learning to play the musical instrument and learning to use the computer - you must practice every day.

I don't know what my friend is going to be after finishing school. He may choose the profession of a doc­tor, a policeman or a driver. I am certain that everybody realizes the necessity of using computers in different jobs and situations. That is why I want to connect my future profession with computers.
