My daily routine.
My working day usually begins at 6.55 a.m., when I wake up. As a rule I lie
in bed for another 10 minutes. After that I get up, make up my bed, go to the
bathroom, wash myself, brush my teeth and comb my hair. Then I go to the
kitchen, cook my breakfast and have it. I prefer porridge and a cup of tea for
breakfast.
At 7.20 a.m. I leave the house and catch a bus to the university. It takes me
an hour to get there. I arrive to the university at 8.20 a.m. My classes start at 8.30
a.m. I am a first-year full-time student at Siberian Federal University. I am
studying to be a metallurgist at the School of Non-Ferrous Metals and Material
Science. As a rule I have got 4 classes a day. Students have got lectures in
Mathematics, Physics and the Basics of metal production and treatment; seminars
on Personal development, English and Physical Education.
Students have got a lunch break. It starts at 13.35 p.m. Some students have a
snack at the university canteen, some take food from home. As for me, I prefer
….. (Ребята, здесь расскажите как вы обедаете) The break lasts for thirtyfive minutes. It finishes at 14.10 p.m.
Lectures end at 15.45 p.m. Most of the students go home. On my way home
I call in the shop to buy something for breakfast. When I come home, I have dinner
and take a rest. Usually I start doing my home assignment at 19.00 p.m. It takes me
3-4 hours to read up for the next day. At 23.00 p.m. I go to the bathroom and take a
shower. Before going to bed I prefer listening to the music or reading a book.
(Здесь напишите, какую музыку или книги вы предпочитаете 1-2

My family (the first part)
Let me introduce myself. My full name is Sheshkina
Daria Pavlovna. My first name is Daria. My patronymic is Pavlovna. My surname
is Sheshkina. I`m 18 years old. I`m a first-year full-time student at Siberian Federal
University. I`m studying to be a metallurgist at the School of Non-Ferrous Metals
and Material Science. I study for free. (Я учусь бесплатно) (I pay tuition – Я
учусь на договорной основе) My course runs for 4 years.
I was born on the 19th of December in 2000 in
Divnogorsk. My family is neither big nor small. There are 4 of us in the family: a
mother, a father, a younger sister and me. My mother is a lawyer by profession.
She loves small dogs. She cooks tasty pizzas. My father works at the recruitment
office. He is very strong but kind. He is my best friend. My sister is Alyona. She is
10. She is an active, curious and interesting girl. She takes up ballet classes.
I have been singing and playing the piano for 5 years.
I`m also fond of doing photography and making videos.
My family relationship
I come from a fairly close-knit family, though we don`t always get on too
well. I am very close to my grandmother Emma, especially as we have a lot in
common. Recently I have fallen out with my grandfather John. Their son is my
father Bob. He is quite old-fashioned and we don`t always see eye to eye. I know
that I should look up to him as a role model, but I don`t respect him. On the other
hand, I worship my mother Maureen. She is kind, caring and very tolerant of
others. I have got a younger sister Sally, who I`m fond of. And I adore my brotherin-law Andrew, who is a very talanted painter. have got a precocious nephew
Tony, who I`m a bit fed up with, and little cute niece Claudia, whom I adore. My
father has got a sister, my aunt Sue. I respect her, as she has had to put up with a
lot of hardship in life, especially being married to my uncle Stanley, who treats her
terribly. I must confess I detest him. I also despise his son, my cousin Stewart, who
takes after his father. My older cousin, Claire, on the other hand, I idolise.
KRASNOYARSK
Krasnoyarsk is one of the biggest cities in Eastern Siberia. It was founded in
1628 by Andrey Dubenskiy. Krasnoyarsk is the capital of Krasnoyarskiy kray. The
city is situated on two banks of the Yenisey river. It is inhabited by more than a
million of people.
The place, where Krasnoyarsk is located, is famous for its beauty. Everyone
knows the nature reserve “Stolby”, which is located three km away from
Krasnoyarsk. Beautiful rocks of the reserve attract many people to this place.
Citizens of Krasnoyarsk are fond of the arts. They enjoy every single
possibility to take museum tours at Krasnoyarsk regional museum, Surikov art
museum, Literature museum named after V.P. Astafiev. Besides they visit theatres
quite often, for example, Krasnoyarsk State Opera and Ballet theatre, Krasnoyarsk
Dramatical theatre and Krasnoyarsk Theatre of Musical Comedy.
Krasnoyarsk is also rich on names of famous people, who made the city
known all over the world. They are Dubenskiy, Lenin, Chekhov, Rezanov, Gaidar,
Surikov, Khvorostovskiy and Yarygin. But I would like to dwell on V.P. Astafiev,
who was an outstanding Siberian writer. V.P. Astafiev was born on the 2nd of May
in 1924 in the village called Ovsyanka. He is the author of such works as “The
Tsar Fish”, “The Last Respect”, “The Shepherd and his wife” and many others. In
2004 Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University was named after V.P. Astafiev.
Our city is a wonderful place to live in. However it has some advantages and
disadvantages.
At first, there are a lot of places to go out. For example, cinemas, theatres,
cafes, malls, skating rinks and so on. In my opinion, this is one of the most
important benefits of living in a city.
Secondly, Krasnoyarsk is the educational centre of Siberia. There are a lot of
institutes where you can get higher education for free. Krasnoyarsk State
Pedagogical University named after V.P.Astafiev, Siberian State Aerospace
Academy named after Reshetnyov and Siberian Federal University are among
them.
Let`s dwell on some disadvantages now.
Firstly, the air in Krasnoyarsk is polluted very much due to many industrial
sites.
Besides flats in our city are really expensive.
Last but not the least is the fact that every day we are stuck up in traffic
jams. As a rule they take place in the morning and in the evening.
Nevertheless I am fond of living in Krasnoyarsk!
My university
Siberian Federal University is the largest, most modern and highlydeveloping educational institution in Eastern Siberia. It is located in Krasnoyarsk,
the capital city of Krasnoyarskiy kray. Our modern multidisciplinary university
combines fundamental and applied research and teaching.
The university was established in 2006 by merging four large universities of
Krasnoyarsk that had been training professionals in the most competitive sectors of
economy in Siberia and the Far East. They were: Krasnoyarsk State University,
Krasnoyarsk State Technical University, Krasnoyarsk State Academy of
Architecture and Construction and Krasnoyarsk State University of Non-Ferrous
Metals and Gold.
Today Siberian Federal University is the largest higher educational
institution in Siberia and consists of 19 Institutes with more than 3,000 faculty staff
teaching 41,000 students. The Chairman of the University Board of Trustees
is Dmitry A. Medvedev, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. In 2016
institutes were renamed into schools. They are:
Law School
Polytechnic School
School of Architecture and Design
School of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering
School of Philology and Language Communication
School of Business Management and Economics
School of Ecology and Geography
School of Economics and Commerce
School of Economics, Management and Environmental Studies
School of Education, Psychology and Sociology
School of Engineering and Construction
School of Engineering Physics and Radio Electronics
School of Fundamental Biology and Biotechnology
School for the Humanities
School of Mathematics and Computer Science
School of Military Engineering
School of Mining, Geology and Geotechnology
School of Non-Ferrous Metals and Material Science
School of Physical Education, Sport and Tourism
School of Space and Information Technologies
I am a first-year full-time student at Siberian Federal University, I am
studying to be a metallurgist. In 2018 I made up my mind to enter this particular
university. There are plenty of reasons.
The first and foremost is that I have got technical turn of mind. I am always
fond of repairing domestic appliances and I am good at it.
Besides, my father is an engineer and I am sure, that it is in my line.
Moreover, SibFU provides qualified higher education for free. It is very
important as many students come from villages. If a student is a diligent one,
doesn`t miss classes, passes exams successfully, maintenance allowance will be
paid by the university.
Last but not the least is that a metallurgist is a very prestigious profession
and a well-paid one.
