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.

V. А теперь расскажите о своем рабочем дне. Text 5 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.

VII. Существует, однако, много довольно экстравагантных увлечений. Какие необычные увлечения известны вам? Перед вами текст еще об одном из них. HOT AIR BALOONS Man always wanted to fly. The easiest thing to do that, as a man in England thought 800 years ago, was to make a pair of wings from chicken feathers. He made feather wings, fixed them to his shoulders and jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body. The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large hot air baloon. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a baloon with it? The baloon was made of cotton and paper. In September of that year, people came to see the baloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep, a chicken and a duck. We do not know how they felt about the flight. But in eight minutes they landed successfully. 'Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlande rose above Paris in hot air balloon. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight km.

UNIT 2. MY HOME MY HOME I would like to tell you a few words about my home. To begin with, I want to tell you that I live in Krasnodar, one of the largest cities of Russia. Our family lives in a new flat in one of the largest newly built residential areas. We moved into our that seven years ago. It is a three-room flat on the fifth floor of an eight-storeyed building. It consists of a living-room, a study, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, two closets and a lavatory. There are two balconies in our flat: the first one is in the living room, and the second — in the bedroom. Our flat has all modern conveniences: central heating, running cold and hot water, electricity, telephone and gas. Besides, there is a lift and a garbage disposal in our building. The layout is very good, I must admit. The rooms are light, though not very large. In my opinion, it's quite a modern-looking flat. The windows face the park in front of the building and the view is really wonderful. Our living-room is quite a big room of about 19 square meters. It is the largest room in our flat. As my parents don't like much furniture in the house, so in the living room there are two comfortable armchairs and a sofa, coffee-table and a nice thick carpet on the floor. Opposite the window there is a wall unit, but it doesn't take much space in the room. Of course there is a colour TV set, a stereo cassette-recorder and a record-player in the living-room. A nice chandelier is hanging from the ceiling and there is a standard lamp to the left of the sofa. During the day, the light comes in through the window, but at night when it gets dark, we switch on the light and draw the curtains across the windows. We like to receive our guests in this room. And now I would like to describe our study. At first it was my daddy's room, but as I grew older, it has become mine. To tell you the truth, I am very happy to have a room for myself, that's why I always try to keep it tidy and cosy. There is a sofa, a writing table, a bookcase, a wardrobe in my room. On the wall there are some shelves full of English and Russian books. There is a radio set on the shelf and, I must confess, I like to listen to the wireless in the evening. The dressing-table is next to the sofa. In the chest of drawers I keep clean linen and handkerchiefs and in the wardrobe I keep my clothes, which I hang on coat-hangers. I have two water-colours on the wall above the sofa. They are nice copies of my favourite paintings by Serov. Our bedroom is the smallest room in our flat. At night when my parents feel tired and sleepy, they share this room. But the most popular and favourite place with all of us is the kitchen, as we spend most of our time there. We all are not big-eaters, but use the kitchen as a place where we can have a chat about our problems and life. In the kitchen there are some stools, a table, a cupboard, a sink with water taps, a fridge and a gas cooker. Of course, we usually have our meals there. We like our flat very much. It is important that our house is rather close to the underground station and we can easily get to any place we like.
