My Day
I've ˈentered the ˈTeachers’ ˈTraining ˈInstitute of ˈForeign ˏLanguages | and ˈso my ˈdream has ˈcome ˎtrue. ˈEvery ˈday ˈpromises ˈmany ˈinteresting ˈthings to ˎlearn, ˈnew ˈpeople to ˏmeet, ˈconcerts and ˈfilms to enˎjoy. But it is ˈno ˈeasy ˎmatter | to ˈcram ˈeverything into ˈone ˎday | and the ˈdaily ˎprogramme | beˈcomes a ˈquestion of ˈwinning or ˎlosing. The ˈwise ˎsaying | adˎvises | to ˈget up ˎearly, “The ˈmore a ˈman of ˋwisdom →grows, the ˈless of ˈmorning ˎsleep he knows.”
So ˈmy day beˈgins with the ˈringing of the aˏlarm clock | at my ˏbedside | which ˏwakes me | as well as my ˏroommates | ˈup at ˈhalf ˈpast ˎsix. ˈIsn't it ˈfun to ˈjump out of ˈbed with ˏnoise | and ˏjokes, to ˈdo ˈmorning ˏexercises | to ˏmusic | with the ˈwindow →open | and after ˏwashing, ˈcleaning our ˏteeth, ˈdoing our →hair, ˈdressing and ˈhaving ˏbreakfast | to ˈhurry to the ˊinstitute?
We ˈgo there by ˎbus | and it ˈtakes us ↑forty ˎminutes | to ˎget there. ˈAs our ˎclasses | beˈgin at ˈeight o’ˎclock, the ˎcloakroom | at ˎthat time | is ˈoverˈcrowded with the ˏstudents | who ˈtry to aˈrrive at the ˏinstitute | beˈfore the ˎbell. ˈAfter ˏclasses | I ˈgo to the ˎsnack bar | or canˎteen | to ˈhave ˎdinner and ˈthen to the ˏlibrary | and ˈreading ˏroom | for →books | or to the ˎlanguage laboratory | to ˈwork at my ˎsounds | and my ˎspeech.
In the ˏevening | ˈafter a ˈshort ˈquiet ˏrest | I ˈdo my ˎhomework | and it ˈtakes ˋtime, you ˏknow. Beˈfore I ˈgo to ˏbed | I can ˈwatch a ˈTˏV program, ˈread a ˈbook for ˏpleasure, ˈhave a ˎwalk | with my ˎfriend |ˎchatting | about the ˈlatest ˎnews. ˈOnce in ˏbed | the eˈvents of the ˈday ˈpass in my ˈmind’s ˎeye | and I ˈsee that it’s ˈbeen a ˈday of ˈhard ˎwork. But I ˋdon't feel ˏsorry, beˈcause I ˎknow, “There is ˈno ˈroyal ˏroad | to ˎlearning.”
