Text 2. My day-off

Most people in our country work five days a week but students work six days. They have only one day off. It is Sunday.

I like this day very much. You needn’t hurry anywhere and you may go wherever you like after your week’s work. On this day I wake up later than usually. But sometimes I don’t get up till nine or ten o’clock. I read morning newspapers or listen to music.

As soon as I get up I air the room, make my bed and do morning exercises. Then I go to bathroom and have breakfast. Two more hours for getting ready with my homework and I am free.

I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together. We may go to the cinema or theatre, to museums and parks. In fine weather we also like to be out of town. We find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river and have a picnic.

In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have supper, make plans for tomorrow, watch TV or read books. Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go for a walk. I enjoy my days off very much.
