|So, our school life is rather eventful & active, | | |

|leaving no time for bedroom. | | |

|I like my school & I ‘m going to miss my | | |

|classmates, the easygoing atmosphere, & all the fun| | |

|we have. | | |

| | | |

|My Working Day. | | |

|A person’s schedule depends on his or her type of | | |

|activity, & is organised accordingly. | | |

|It is rather flexible, & can be change any time, if| | |

|necessary. | | |

|I will try to give you a snapshot of a typical day | | |

|in my life as a school student. | | |

|The shrill ringing of an alarm-clock wakes me up at| | |

|half past six. | | |

|I do not jump out of bed, but daydream for about 5 | | |

|minutes more. | | |

|Then I do jump out, & keep jumping, pushing up, | | |

|sitting up, & generally warming up for about 20 | | |

|minutes. | | |

|Then a quick shower, & a very light breakfast - I | | |

|just can’t make myself eat much in the morning. | | |

|So, it’s a soft-boiled egg, a toast, & a cup of tea| | |

|or coffee. | | |

|Then off to school. | | |

|It’s the usual routine of classes & breaks, a | | |

|longer break at 11 a. m. for lunch, & school is | | |

|over at 1 or 2 p. m., depending on the number of | | |

|classes. | | |

|Sometimes I stay at school till 3 p. m. for some | | |

|optional class or something extra-curriculum. | | |

|Then I’m home, & it’s dinner, if I may call it so. | | |

|My folks are both at work, so left to my own | | |

|devices I have what I manage to find in the fridge.| | |

| | | |

|Then I fool around for an hour or so browsing in | | |

|some magazine or a book, or listening to some quiet| | |

|music. | | |

|After that I’m ready for the most important part of| | |

|my day, my work actually. | | |

|I study, I dig up information, I solve tasks, find | | |

|answers to question - do my homework. | | |

|By 8 p. m. I feel tired. | | |

|Fortunately, by that time folks have arrived, & we | | |

|eat. | | |

|That is the only proper meal of the day for me, & | | |

|the only time to talk with my parents. | | |

|Then an hour or more of study, some TV, & by 12 p. | | |

|m. I’m in bed. | | |

|Sometimes I have to stay up late, if I have some | | |

|difficult task to solve. | | |

|So this is it, in a nutshell. | | |

|Not very eventful, but it’s a working day, isn’t | | |

|it? | | |

|Russia. | | |

|We are living in a rapidly changing, multinational | | |

|& multicultural world. | | |

|Barriers keep falling, people & cultures mix, but | | |

|one thing remains basic & dear to my heart - my | | |

|homeland, Russia. | | |

|No one can deny that it is a great country in all | | |

|senses of the world, with its area of 17,1 million | | |

|square kilometres, & the population of 150 million | | |

|people. | | |

|It spans two parts of the world, Europe & Asia, | | |

|serving as a bridge between them. | | |

|It is washed by the seas of the Arctic & Pacific | | |

|Oceans. | | |

|The variety of climatic zones it the north down to | | |

|the subtropics in the south. | | |

|It has immense natural resources, such as coal, oil| | |

|& gas, all kinds of mineral deposits, great forests| | |

|& rivers, it has everything. | | |

|There are many branches of industry in Russia - | | |

|machine-building, steel production, chemical & | | |

|electronic industries, & numerous others. | | |

|Unfortunately, agriculture is in a rather poor | | |

|state, & we have to import foodstuffs, & even | | |

|wheat. | | |

|The potential of Russia & its people is great, & | | |

|with reasonable economic mechanisms & laws the | | |

|country will overcome the present difficulties, & | | |

|will occupy the place it deserves in the world | | |

|community. | | |

|The cultural heritage of Russia is rich & varied/ | | |

|The names of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky are | | |

|known all over the world/ | | |

|Russia’s history, like that of any other great | | |

|country, is full of glory & blood. | | |

|Russia twice saved Europe from the Dark Age - | | |

|stopping the Tartars, & crushing the German | | |

|fascists. | | |

|I’m proud of my country, I love Russia, my | | |

|motherland, & will do the best I can to improve its| | |

|economic & political situation. | | |

| | | |

|An Outstanding Person of Russia. | | |

|Russia gave birth to many wonderful people, who | | |

|made great contributions to all fields of human | | |

|activity, such as science, art, various | | |

|discoveries, & so on. | | |

|The world knows our composers, ballet dancers, | | |

|writers. | | |

|As for me, I think one of the greatest men, who | | |

|influenced Russian & world culture, was Alexander | | |

|Pushkin. | | |

|I believe that in his prose & poetry he actually | | |

|created the modern Russian language, the language | | |

|we use today. | | |

|He was born a nobelman & lived a life of a | | |
