My Day

During the week I usually wake up at 7.00 a.m. I don't get up immediately, I get up at 7.15. I go to the bathroom to take a shower, clean my teeth, wash my face and hands. In the summer I have a shower in the morning, but in the winter I often have a bath instead. I don't do morning exercises because I'm a bit lazy. Then I get dressed and have breakfast at 7.30. I go to the University at 8.00.

At the University I have classes. I also have one or two snacks, for example cakes, fruit, hamburgers during the day at University. After the University I go to the library sometimes or go for a walk, so I get home at 7.00 p.m.

I live alone, so I have to make my own dinner and do the washing-up. I also have to feed my cat twice a day as well. I do the shopping on Saturday. After the shopping I usually clean my flat. On Saturday I also do my washing and ironing.

In the evening I do my homework, phone my friends and watch TV. I go to bed at about 11.00 p.m. I usually read a little and go to bed at 11.30.

On weekends I can get up later, at about 10 a.m., I like staying in bed and having a lie-in. During the week I usually stay at home in the evening and have a rest, but at the weekend I often go out and go to the cinema or disco with friends. Sometimes my friends come to me and we have a chat, take photos or play computer games together. I go to bed late.

Daily Routine of Famous People

Adopted from

http://dailyroutines.typepad.com/

Winston Churchill

Churchill's daily routine changes little during years. He wakes about 7:30 a.m. and remains in bed for breakfast and reading of mail and all the national newspapers. For the next couple of hours, still in bed, he works, dictating to his secretaries.

At 11:00 a.m., he gets up, and perhaps goes for a walk around the garden, and takes a weak whisky and soda to his study.

At 1:00 p.m. he joins guests and family for a three-course lunch. Winston drinks champagne served at a specific temperature and smokes cigars. When lunch ends, about 3:30 p.m. he returns to his study to work, or supervises work on his estate, or plays cards or backgammon with his wife Clementine.

At 5:00 p.m., after another weak whisky and soda, he goes to bed for an hour and a half. He says this was siesta, a habit gained in Cuba, which allows him to work 1 1/2 days in every 24 hours. At 6:30 p.m. he wakes up and dresses for dinner at 8:00 p.m.

Dinner is the focal-point of Churchill's day. Table talk, dominated by Churchill, is as important as the meal. Sometimes, depending on the company, drinks and cigars extend the event well past midnight. The guests gone, Churchill returns to his study for another hour or so of work.

Stephen King

“There are certain things I do if I sit down to write,” he says. “I have a glass of water or a cup of tea. There's a certain time I sit down, from 8:00 to 8:30, somewhere within that half hour every morning,” he explains. “I have my vitamin pill and my music, sit in the same seat, and the papers are all arranged in the same places. The purpose of doing these things the same way every day is a way of saying to the mind, you're going to work soon.

“It's not any different than a bedtime routine,” he continues. “Do you go to bed a different way every night? I brush my teeth, I wash my hands. Why does anybody wash their hands before they go to bed? I don't know.”

John Grisham

When he first starts writing, Grisham says, he has "these little rituals that are silly but very important."

"The alarm clock goes off at 5, and I jump in the shower. My office is 5 minutes away. And I have to be at my desk, at my office, with the first cup of coffee and write the first word at 5:30, five days a week."

His goal: to write a page every day. Sometimes that takes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour; sometimes he writes for two hours before he has to turn to his job as a lawyer, which he never especially enjoys. In the Mississippi Legislature, there are "enormous amounts of wasted time" that give him the opportunity to write.

"So I am very disciplined about it," he says.

Grammar

1. Present Continuous

Present Continuous обозначает действие, которое происходит в определенный момент в настоящем (в момент речи).

Время Present Continuous состоит из двух частей, а именно: изменяемой части - вспомогательного глагола to be, который служит показателем лица, числа и времени, и неизменяемой части - причастия 1 смыслового глагола (так называемой - ing формы), например:

I am reading a book now. - Сейчас я читаю книгу.

Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующем лице, числе и времени перед подлежащим. Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи отрицательной частицы not, которая ставится после вспомогательного глагола:

утвердительная форма I am reading you are reading he is reading

вопросительная форма am I reading? are you reading? is he reading?

отрицательная форма I am not reading you are not reading he is not reading

1) Present Continuous употребляется для выражения действий, которые совершаются в момент речи. Момент речи часто подчеркивается употреблением наречия now (сейчас), а также выражением at this moment (в настоящий момент).

Глаголы, выражающие чувства, восприятия и умственную деятельность, а также некоторые другие глаголы во временах группы Continuous не употребляются. К таким глаголам относятся: to want - хотеть, to like - нравиться, to love - любить, to wish - желать, to see - видеть, to hear - слышать, to feel - чувствовать, to notice - замечать, to know - знать, to understand - понимать, to remember - помнить, to forget - забывать, to seem - казаться, to be - быть, и др..

2) Время Present Continuous также употребляется для выражения заранее намеченного, запланированного действия, которое совершится в будущем, часто - в ближайшем будущем. В этом случае обычно имеется обстоятельство времени, указывающее на будущее время:

They are going to the park tomorrow. - Они идут завтра в парк.

Вопросы:

Общий: Are you going to the cinema? / Is he going to the cinema? / Am I going to the cinema?

Специальный: Where are you going? / When is he going to the cinema? / Where am I going?

К подлежащему: Who is going to the cinema?

Альтернативный: Are you going to the cinema or to the theatre? / Is she going to the cinema or to the theatre? / Am I going to the cinema or to the theatre?

Разделительный: You are going to the cinema, aren't you? / He isn't going to the cinema, is he?

Задание 1.1. Раскройте скобки, употребляя глаголы в Present Continuous:

(NOW) 1) The boys (to run) about in the garden. 2) I (to do) my homework. 3) John and his friends (to go) to the library. 4) Ann (to sit) at her desk. 5) A young man (to stand) at the window. 6) He (to smoke) a cigarette. 7) The old man (to walk) around the room. 8) You (to have) a break? 9) What language you (to study) 10) What they (to talk) about? 11) It still (to rain). 12) They (to work).

Задание 1.2. Напишите отрицательную и вопросительную формы к следующим предложениям:

1) My sister is sleeping. 2) They are walking in the park. 3) I am singing. 4) He is reading an article. 5) We are drinking tea.

2. Infinitive and -ing forms

В системе английского глагола принято выделять две группы форм - личные и неличные. К личным формам относят формы прошедшего и не прошедшего времени, которые функционируют в предложении в качестве сказуемого (обратите внимание на временные формы, рассматриваемые в настоящем пособии и в его первой части).

В английском языке существуют три неличные формы глагола: инфинитив, причастие (причастие I и причастие II) и герундий. Неличные формы глагола не изменяются по лицам и числам и не употребляются самостоятельно в роли сказуемого. Важной особенностью неличных форм глагола является отсутствие у них категории времени. Это значит, что они не могут помещать действие на определенный отрезок времени и лишь указывают на соотношение обозначаемого ими действия с действием, которое названо глаголом сказуемым.

Мы не будем подробно останавливаться на анализе отдельных свойств неличных форм и остановимся только на особенностях их употребления.

Infinitive

Инфинитив в английском языке имеет следующие формы:

	Active	Passive
Indefinite	(to) send	(to) be sent
Continuous	(to) be sending	------------------------
Perfect	(to) have sent	(to) have been sent
Perfect Continuous	(to) have been sending	-------------------------

Инфинитив (с частицей to) употребляется в следующих случаях:

- для выражения цели:

She went out to buy some milk. - Она вышла, чтобы купить молоко.

- после определенных глаголов (advise, agree, appear, decide, expect, hope, promise, refuse и т.д.):

He promised to be back at 10 o'clock. - Он обещал вернуться к 10 часам.

- после определенных прилагательных (angry, happy, glad и т.д.):

She was glad to see him. - Она была рада встретиться с ним.

- после вопросительных слов (where, how, what, who, which, исключение составляет только вопросительное слово why):

Has she told you where to meet them? - Она сказала вам, где их встречать?

- после would like/ would love/ would prefer:

I'd love to go for a walk. - Я бы с удовольствием прогулялась.

- после существительных:

It's a pleasure to work with you. - Работать с Вами - одно удовольствие.

- после конструкций со словами too и enough:

He's too short to reach the top shelf. - Он слишком мал, чтобы дотянуться до верхней полки.

Инфинитив (без частицы to) употребляется в следующих случаях:

- после модальных глаголов (must, can, will и т.д.):

You must be back at 12 o'clock. - Вы должны вернуться в 12 часов.

- после had better/would rather:

I'd rather have stayed in last night. - Лучше бы я остался дома вчера.

- после make/let/see/hear/feel + дополнение:

Mum let me watch TV. - Мама разрешила мне посмотреть телевизор.

-ing forms

Употребляя термин -ing forms, мы имеем в виду причастие I и герундий (в данном разделе мы не даем характеристику причастию II). Приведем эти формы:

	Active	Passive
Non-perfect	sending	being sent
Perfect	having sent	having been sent

-ing forms употребляются в следующих случаях:

- после определенных глаголов (admit, avoid, consider, continue, delay, deny, enjoy, escape, excuse, fancy, finish, forgive, imagine, involve, keep, look forward to, mention, mind, miss, object to, postpone, practice, prevent, report, resist, risk, save, stand, suggest, understand и т.д.):

He admitted (to) stealing the painting. - Он признался в краже картины.

- после love, like, dislike, hate, enjoy, prefer:

He likes cooking. - Он любит готовить.

- после I'm busy, It's no use, It's (no) good, It's (not) worth, what's the use of, can't help, there's no point (in), be/get used to, be/get accustomed to, have difficulty (in):

It's no use complaining. - Бесполезно жаловаться.

- после “go” для обозначения физических упражнений:

They go skiing every winter. - Зимой они катаются на лыжах.

- после предлогов:

He entered without knocking at the door. - Он вошел, не постучавшись.

- после see, hear, listen, watch для выражения незаконченных и длительных действий:

Hobby

Most hobbies involve collecting, creating, observing nature, or using special equipment. Many people collect stamps, coins, seashells. Creative hobbyists enjoy arts and crafts - for example, painting, singing, writing, sewing, or building models. Hobbies for people who enjoy nature include gardening. Photography and computer programming are hobbies that require equipment. Many hobbies are done alone, but people often form groups or read magazines based on their hobby. No matter what the hobby, there is always an opportunity to learn from it.

Sport is a very popular hobby. In some sports one person competes against other individuals. Examples of these sports include boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, figure skating, diving, long jumping, and horseback riding. In team sports a group of people plays against another group, or team. A team may have as few as two members, or it may have many members. A doubles team in tennis has two players. Five players make up a basketball team. An ice hockey team has six players, and a baseball team has nine. Eleven players make up a football, soccer, or cricket team. Sports can also be organized or unorganized. Children who get together for neighborhood football games are playing unorganized sports. No organization controls their games. In organized sports athletes play for a school, a business, a club, a community, or some other organization. Organized sports can be amateur or professional.

Photography is a very popular hobby. People take photographs of places they visit. They also photograph important family events, such as birthdays, holiday celebrations, graduations, and weddings. The most important piece of equipment in photography is the camera. Today photographers can take pictures with traditional cameras, digital cameras, or even some cellular phones.

Some people collect stamps as a hobby. Stamp collecting is called philately. Collectors carefully place their stamps in books called albums. Most countries also issue special stamps for limited periods of time. Stamps that are worth thousands of dollars sometimes look almost exactly like other stamps that are worth only a few cents.

Knitting is the making of textiles, or cloth, by connecting loops of yarn. The yarn is usually wool or cotton, but almost any type of fiber can be knitted. Knitting by hand is a popular hobby. People knit since ancient times. Early fishermen knitted fishnets. Knitted cloth from thousands of years ago was found in Egyptian tombs. Throughout history home knitters have made sweaters, shawls, mittens, and socks for their families.

In the late 20th century computers creates a whole new class of hobbies. Many people today spend their spare time surfing the Internet and playing video games.

Hobby

Hobbies today include many activities. The definition that best covers all these activities is probably constructive leisure-time activities. A hobby is an activity apart from the ordinary routines of life. It encourages the use of creativity and imagination.

Some popular hobbies are as old as civilization. These include such activities as music, dance, literature, painting, sculpture, raising pets, astrology, and the making of pottery, baskets, beadwork, kites, toys, leather goods, dolls, jewelry, and miniatures or models.

Hobbies are either consciously chosen, or they arise from an individual's interests, skills, daily work, tastes, ambitions. Stamp or coin collecting are examples of hobbies based on deliberate choice. Making model airplanes can be something to do for a pastime, or it might develop as a result of service in an air force or as an airline pilot. Designing computer programs is a hobby based on work experience or schooling.

All hobbies involve activity, but some involve more than others. Collecting is relatively passive compared to doing one's own paintings or making furniture.

The art hobbies are painting, sculpture, music, and literature. They may be the most challenging areas for hobbyists to work in, and perhaps for this reason they are less popular than nature, historical, or handicraft hobbies.

Hobbyists make of music both a pastime and sometimes a second vocation. They may learn to play a musical instrument for pleasure, but there are many opportunities for people with talent to participate in music concerts, community orchestras, or other groups. Singers join choral organizations or form duets, quartets, or other small groups for public performances. Some popular rock music groups got their start by playing together in high school as a hobby. Some hobbyists collect musical instruments or recordings.

Nature hobbies are mainly of two types: activities, such as gardening or bird-watching, and collecting. A nature hobby can also be combined with another interest such as photography.

For handicraft hobbies there are kits available in hobby shops or craft centers. There are kits for painting by numbers, for making mosaics, and for crafts using plastics, leather, textiles, metal, clay, beads and sequins, ribbon, wool, and laces.

Many hobbies (these are mechanical and electronic hobbies) use the equipment, computers, for example. For those who like photography, there are camera shops, books, magazines, newspaper columns, and exhibitions of photographs. Some hobbyists work only in black and white, while others insist on color. Nowadays people also like making films by themselves using cameras.

I. Прочитайте и переведите письмо.

Dear Kate,

I was so glad to get a letter from you. Sorry for not writing before but I was really busy.

The point is that two weeks ago I moved to a new flat. It's on the twelfth floor of the new block of flats. It is situated in the neighborhood of¹ a very good park with a pond. There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet in my flat. We have all modern conveniences in our flat: electricity, gas, hot and cold running water, central heating.

Here I enclose² several photos. In the first picture you can see my living room. It is decorated in a classical style. The walls are light, the window is large. It makes the room look bigger. As you can see there are two bookshelves in the left and in the right corners. There is a fireplace between them. There is a large TV above the fireplace. There is a carpet on the floor in the middle of the room and there is a little table on it. There is a sofa upholstered³ with brown leather. There are two armchairs opposite it near the window. There is another little table between them. I like this room very much. In the evening I and my family gather here, talk and watch TV.

The next photo is a picture of my bedroom. It's decorated in a modern style. My mother thinks that a room first of all should be beautiful, but in my opinion a room should be cozy and convenient. So, there is a large bed opposite the door. There is a bedside table with a lamp near it. There is a wardrobe in the left corner. There is a desk opposite the window. There are two stools⁴ near it. There is a chest of drawers between the desk and the wardrobe. There is a couch near the window. There is a carpet on the floor.
