This is my daily programme. I wake at about seven o'clock and then it is time
for me to get up, I like a cold shower every morning, so I put on my dressing-
gown and slippers and go to the bathroom. The water feels very cold on winter
mornings, but I rub myself hard with the towel and soon I feel quite warm.
Then I shave, brush my teeth, wash my face and go back to the bedroom to
dress. I brush and comb my hair, take a clean handkerchief out of the drawer and
have breakfast at a quarter past eight. After breakfast I sit and read my morning
paper. If the
weather is fine, I usually walk to my office. At nine o'clock the day's work
begins. At twelve-thirty I have a break for lunch. I generally finish my work
about six o'clock. Then I have a cup of tea and a biscuit, and in summer I spend an
hour or so out-of-doors, play a few games of tennis or volley-ball.
We have supper about seven-thirty or eight o'clock and then we sit and talk, or
listen to the wireless. Often in summer we take out the car and go for a run in the
country; in winter we go to the cinema or the theatre. But that is not often. I have a
lot of work to do, and usually after supper I read or write until twelve or one
o'clock.

vowel letter expressing a short stressed vowel sound: to stop – stopped.
3. The final -1 is doubled if it is preceded by a vowel letter expressing a short
vowel sound: to travel – travelled.
4. The final -y is changed into i before adding the suffix -ed if it is preceded
by a consonant letter: to try – tried.

but 'offer – 'offered.

TEXT 1 OUR UNIVERSITY
( A Letter)
Dear Helen,
Don't be angry with me for my long silence, but really I was too busy to
write.
As you know, I left school in June and began to prepare for my entrance
exams to the University. As both my mother and father are teachers I have made
up my mind to be a teacher too. I think teaching is a noble profession.
I had to take four exams and passed all of them with excellent marks. So I'm
glad to tell you that now I'm a first-year student at the Moscow State Teacher
Training University.
I should like to show you the main building of our University. I can't help
admiring this fine old building with its beautiful columns. The first students
entered it more than 120 years ago.
It goes without saying we, students, are very proud of this fact.
There are 18 faculties at our University which train teachers in many subjects:
Russian, Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Chemistry, Biology,
Foreign languages and others. Many well-known professors teach at our
University.
We have good libraries and reading-rooms and for those who go in for sports
there are good gymnasiums and a stadium.
At present we have quite a lot of work as we have English practice, Grammar
and Phonetics, Linguistics, History of our native land and other subjects. There is
an English speaking club at our faculty. It gives us a good opportunity to master
the language, but I don't take part in it yet. I'm working hard at my
pronunciation. There is a good language laboratory at our faculty where we work
with cassette-recorders. It helps us to find out our mistakes and to get rid of them
in the shortest possible time.
184
So that's the latest news about myself. Please write to me about your life and
studies.
My best regards to your parents.
Yours, Ann.
TEXT 2 A TELEPHONE CALL
Alex is about to ring up a friend of his. He picks up the receiver, and dials the
number. The first time the line is engaged but then he gets through.
A: Bob?
B: Speaking.
A: This is Alex. Hello, old chap. Haven't heard from you for ages. How are
you ?
B: Oh, hello, Alex. I'm fine, thanks.
A: Wonderful, I hear you passed all your entrance exams with excellent marks.
So you are a student now, aren't you? B: Well yes, and you?
A: I wasn't so lucky at the exams, in fact. I only got good marks in the main
subjects: physics and maths.
В: I wonder if you find it difficult to study mathematics?
A: Rather. I spend a lot of time doing my home assignment. But I'm not at all
sorry. You've got to work hard to make good progress.
В: Do you have time to go in for sports ?
A: Yes, of course, I joined the University sports society, as I'm fond of skating,
skiing and tennis.
B: As for me, I'm a member of our English speaking club. I've joined our
drama society and the choir. They say I'm rather good at both singing and
acting.
A: Good, isn't it? Hope to see you some day. Will you invite me to your club?
B: Sure.
A: By the way, I've got a new telephone number. It is now 235...
B: Just a second. I must have a pen to put it down. Yes? A: So I repeat 235-60-
57. I'll be expecting your call. Bye-bye. B: So long, then.

PHONETIC NOTES
To make speech more expressive we do not always stress all the notional
words in a sentence. Sometimes we make one or two words more prominent than
the others. The word which is most important in the sentences is often marked by
logical stress while the words following it remain unstressed or half-stressed as
they do not introduce anything new, but refer to something already known.
e. g. There is an English 'speaking xclub at our faculty. We, 'students, are
xproud of this fact.
187
Compare:
I beVgan to pre'pare for my tentrance e'xams to the .University.
And later:
I should V like to 'show you the 'main xbuilding of our
University.
