Theme: My day
At roughly 6.20 a.m., my super loud alarm clock rings near my bed. I usually turn it off and lie for a while. I hate to get up before the dawn. Unfortunately, my classes usually start at 8 o'clock and it takes me to get to the gymnasium. Sometimes I even pretend to be ill but this trick does not work - my parents never believe me.
Around 6:20 am, an incredibly loud alarm goes off beside my bed. I usually turn it off and then lie down for a while. I hate getting up before dawn. But, unfortunately, the lessons start at 8 am, and I still need about 50 minutes to get to the gymnasium. Sometimes I even pretend to be sick, but this number does not work - my parents never believe me.
When I finally crawl out of my bed, I take an icy cold shower - it helps me to refresh my mind and wake up. After that, like it should be, I brush my teeth, give my hair a final comb and go to the kitchen. Every morning my mom makes breakfast for us and we, as a friendly family, try to eat together. I usually have pancakes or toasts with butter, homemade jam or honey and green tea for breakfast. I leave home for gymnasium at about 6.40-6.50 a.m. Before I leave, my mom kisses me and wishes a good luck. Usually I go to the gymnasium by trolley-bus, but sometimes I ask my father for a lift.
When I finally crawl out of bed, I take a cold shower to clear my head and wake me up. After that, as is customary, I brush my teeth, style my hair, and go to the kitchen. Every morning my mother prepares breakfast for us and we, as a friendly family, always try to eat together. For breakfast, I usually eat pancakes or toast with butter, homemade jam or honey, and drink green tea. I leave the house at about 6.40-6.50. Before I leave, my mother kisses me and wishes me luck. Usually I get to the gymnasium by trolley bus, but sometimes I ask my dad to give me a ride.
I really enjoy going to gymnasium – all my best friends study there. But, honestly speaking, I do not like to go there when I am not ready with my paper or not ready for the test. I hate to feel left behind, but sometimes I have not got enough motivation. My teacher of English likes to say that I am a bright pupil but I struggle with foreign languages.
I really enjoy going to the gymnasium - all my best friends study here. But, to be honest, I don’t really like going there when I don’t have a report ready, or I’m not ready for a test. I really don't like being left behind, but sometimes I lack motivation. My English teacher likes to say that I am a smart student, but I am bad at foreign languages.
The last lesson is over at 2.50 p.m. After school, I either have a volleyball practice for our school team, or go to visit my dear grandmother. My granny lives not far from my gymnasium, so I come to see her at least two times a week. My grandmother is an intelligent and wise woman and we always have many things to talk about. Speaking about my volleyball practices, I must notice that they are . They help me to keep a good health and to be in an excellent form. Our volleyball team takes part in different competitions, and last month we became champions.
The last lesson ends at 14.50. After class, I either go to the practice of our school volleyball team or go to visit my grandmother. My granny lives not far from my gymnasium, so I visit her at least twice a week. My grandmother is an educated and wise woman, and therefore we always have something to talk about. As for my volleyball lessons, I must say that they are an integral part of my life. They help maintain health and stay in good physical shape. Our volleyball team takes part in various competitions, and last month we became champions.
I usually come home at roughly 6 p.m. I have a late dinner and take a rest. As my parents work hard to bring home bacon, they come home only late in the evening. That is why I help my mother with housework – iron our clothes, wipe the dust, clean the floor at the corridor, wash the dishes and, of course, feed our cat. Sometimes I go shopping for food. I also help my younger sister, who is a first former, with her homework. Twice a week I take her to the dance classes. My sister, Yana, is only seven, so I must take care of her. When I "ve got some free time, I prefer to spend it with neighborhood children and my sister. I don"t like just to sit at home gazing at the television - it is boring, and I am convinced that it is for couch potatoes . I enjoy the company of my soulmates: we ride bikes together, play outdoor games, tell each other funny stories, sometimes we go to the pond to feed ducks.
I return home around 6 pm. After a late lunch, I rest. Since my parents work hard for a living, they don't get home from work until late at night. Therefore, I help my mother with household chores - ironing clothes, dusting, washing the floor in the hallway, washing dishes, and, of course, feeding our cat. Sometimes I go grocery shopping. I also help my younger sister, who is in first grade, with her homework. Twice a week I take her to the dance. My sister, Yana, is only 7 years old, so I have to take care of her. When I have some free time, I prefer to spend it with my neighbor's kids and sister. I don't like to just sit at home and watch TV - it's boring and I think it's for couch potatoes. I like to be in the company of like-minded people: we ride bicycles, play yard games, tell funny stories, and sometimes we go to the pond to feed the ducks.
