There is a very good language laboratory at our University. It
has modern equipment. We spend a lot
of time in the laboratory
listening to the tapes, imitating the sounds and intonation. It
helps us to learn the language without much difficulty.
We don’t go out to lunch. There is a good canteen at our
University. It is on the ground floor. We can go downstairs and
have lunch in no time at all.
As to my dinner I have it in a cafй on
my way back to the hostel.
I come to the hostel from the University about a quarter to
five every evening. I live in a single
room and have nobody to
speak English to. I go to the girl next door and we do our lessons
together. We are always ready to help each other.
In the evening
we sometimes go out.
We go to the pictures
if there is something new on or to the club if there is a dancing
party there.
But we often
stay in, watch
the TV program in the common
room or listen to the radio. Then I read a book for half an hour or
so and go to sleep. That doesn’t take me long, as a rule.
