Topic: My typical school day

I well my first day at school. There were oodles of flowers, excited parents and nice songs older pupils were singing. Then it somehow became usual or even boring – parents who woke me up, when, classes that seemed to be endless and the weekdays, which looked very much alike. Every school day began early, so I often crawled to school sleepy.

Then everything somehow became ordinary or even boring - parents who woke me up when I had my sweetest dreams, activities that seemed endless, and weekdays that looked very similar. Every school day started early, so I often dragged myself to school sleepy.

Now, when I'm, everything looks different. We are in classes, have discos and go picnicking. My parents any more. . I do some exercises to keep fit and run into the bathroom. When, I do without exercises at all, as I’m short of time. I generally do them before going to bed or don’t do at all.

Now that I'm a senior, things look different. We have fun in classes, arrange discos and go on picnics. My parents don't have to wake me up anymore. I get up myself. I do some exercises to get in shape and run to the bathroom. When I'm lazy, I do without exercise at all because I don't have much time. Then I usually do them before bed or not at all.

My breakfast is simple – cocoa or decaffeinated coffee with a cookie or a buttered bread. My parents always make me eat something before school. When my mom is away on business and dad goes early, I can have no breakfast, because I’ve got in my bag – an apple or a chocolate bar.

When my mom is on a business trip and my dad leaves early, I don’t have to have breakfast, because I always have something to snack in my bag - an apple or a chocolate bar.

My way to school is short. I get there in five minutes. I remember how long to it when I was 6. Our classes start at 8.30 a.m. and finish at about 2 p.m. I've got seven or six classes. After classes I stay at school later three or four times a week because I attend the English language club and participate in some sports activities.

I have seven or six lessons. After classes I stay at school three or four times a week because I attend the English Language Club and take part in some sporting activities.

When I am back home, I have dinner. Then I listen to music or look through newspapers or magazines. After a short rest, I get down to my home assignment. It usually takes me three or four hours to cope with it properly. I don’t have much time for television or my friends. But sometimes I find time for an interesting TV program or for doing things with my friends.

At nine o’clock our lessons start. They last for forty-five minutes but then at eleven o’clock we have mid-morning breakfast for twenty minutes and then have one more lesson before lunch-time.

At twenty past twelve we have a lunch break and usually we all sit in the dining-hall and eat our sandwiches with our friends, or a few of us have school dinner. If the weather is I nice we sit in the playground and eat our lunch there. We have two lessons from half-past one to half-past three and then it is home-time.

After a tiring day at school I relax by sitting down and talking to my mother about my day until dinner is ready at five o’clock. After dinner I start my homework. I always have something to do, either to read a book, or to do some exercises or write an essay or learn for a test. By nine o’clock I always try to finish doing my homework so then I can relax by talking to my family and watching television. Then I go to bed at half-past ten in order to be up bright and early the following day.
