***

As you may guess Vladimir also has one day off and I want to tell you about his day off.

He likes Sundays very much and this is the only day which he can organize properly. He needn't hurry anywhere and he may go wherever he likes after his working the whole week.

On Sunday his mother wakes up him with a nice cup of coffee later than usual. While he reads morning newspapers his sister tidies the flat up complaining that she has to cope on her own. As soon as he gets up, he airs the room, makes his bed and does morning exercises. Then he has breakfast, clears away the dishes and washes up. Two more hours for getting ready with his homework and he is free.

Then he has some light supper and makes a couple of phone calls to arrange a meeting with his friends. After that he goes to sleep again.

When he wakes up, he meets his friends and they discuss their plans together. If the weather is fine he prefers to be out of town just to enjoy the beautiful view of the countryside: in autumn he likes to pick up mushrooms and buries, in winter- to ski.

In the evening they usually go to the clubs. As they are short of money they treat themselves to some tea and coffee. Vladimir doesn’t dance well, when everybody dances, he sits and looks miserable, but he goes there regularly. I advise him to take some dancing lessons.

Sometimes he is tired of bars, noisy companies and sleepless nights. If it happens, he prefers to be in, watching TV, listening to music, reading books or just speaking over the phone or playing computer games.

In the evening all the members of his family get together. They have supper, make plans for tomorrow, and argue about the latest events at home and abroad. Sometimes they receive guests at their place.

He enjoys his days off very much. He wished he had a weak-end. But may be after graduating from the University he will be lucky to have it.
