I. Read the text:

I get up at 6 o’clock in the morning. I prepare breakfast for my daughter, wash and dress. Then I sit down to breakfast. As a rule it’s a cup of tea or coffee. I don’t eat any sandwiches for breakfast. At half past seven I leave home and go to the University. I never go there by bus or trolleybus. I always go there on foot. It takes me 20 minutes to get there. So I get to the University at ten minutes to eight. The lessons begin at 8 sharp. Usually I have a lecture and two practical lessons (tutorials). At tutorials we do not write many exercises. We write few exercises. We prefer to speak English, to read texts and newspaper articles at the lessons. At five minutes past one my work is over. I never have dinner at our canteen. I don’t like food prepared by other people. So I go home and have dinner at home. I usually work late at night. Evening is the best time for me. I go to bed at 1 a.m. But it doesn’t mean I get up late. I always remember the English proverb: An early bird eats two worms.

Ask me questions, please.
