My Daily Routine

As a rule, I get up at half past six. I put on my dressing-gown, go into bathroom and turn on the bath taps. Good health is better than wealth, so I do my morning exercises. I get breakfast at seven-thirty and listen to the news over the radio.

I like to begin the day well, so my breakfast is always a good one. For breakfast I usually have hard-boiled eggs or an omelette, bread and butter, tea or coffee; I read my newspaper with my last cup of coffee before I leave home.

Then, I say "Good-bye" to my mother, take my school-bag and go to school. I don't live far from my school, so it doesn't take me long to get there. The lessons start at half past eight. Each lesson lasts for 45 minutes. The classes are over at two o'clock.

I come back home, have dinner, wash up and go shopping. I buy foodstuffs for the family. Coming back I begin to clean the house and get the vegetables ready for supper. We have supper at seven. I do my homework for the next day. It usually takes me several hours to prepare well for the lessons.

In the evening, I always try to spend at least an hour at the piano. As a rule my parents and I sit and talk, watch a film on TV, read newspapers and magazines. Sometimes, we go to the cinema or to the theatre. Once or twice a month, I visit exhibitions in my home town.

I go to bed at about eleven o'clock, but my parents like to sit up late and write letters or read.

My Week-day

My week-days didn't differ much one from another. I went to school six days a week. That's why, I had to wake up at 7 o'clock every morning.  Sometimes I wanted to stay in bed for some more time but my mother always insisted on my getting up.

I put on my bathrobe and slippers and unwillingly went to the bathroom. A cold shower made me feel not so sleepy, then I dried myself on a towel and hurried to the bedroom. I switched on a TV-set, it was just the time for a cartoon.

You may ask me why I didn't do my morning exercises. From time to time, when I saw smiling slim girls on TV briskly doing their exercises to music, I swore I should get up earlier and do my morning exercises every day, but it didn't last long and soon 1 forgot about it. Then I did my bed, dressed myself and had my breakfast.

At a quarter to eight I rushed to school, it usually took me 10 minutes to get there. My classes began at 8 o'clock, and every day I had seven or eight lessons.

At 3 o'clock the classes were over, and I went home. After dinner, I did some work about the house (washed dishes, swept the floor, went shopping) and sat down to my lessons. I spent a great deal of time on them.

At 8 o'clock all my textbooks and notebooks were put into a bag, and I could watch TV or read a book, look through papers and magazines. Sometimes, when my friend called for me we went for a walk.

At eleven o'clock, tired after a long working day, I went to bed and in some minutes fell asleep.

Questions:

1. When did you have to wake up when you went to school? 
2. When did you go to the bathroom? 
3. When did you hurry to your bedroom?

My Day off

When we have time for leisure, we usually need something that can interest and amuse us. There are several ways to do this. In big cities it's often difficult to decide where to go in the evening.

If we want to go out there are a lot of theatres, cinemas and clubs in our country where we can spend our free time. (But in small towns and villages they have no actors of their own. So they invite a group of actors from a big town to show plays.)

People who are fond of music join a musical section where they are taught to play different instruments. Those who like to dance join a dancing section.

People who are interested in sports can join sport sections such as tennis, basket-boll, chess and others. And, of course, all the people use radio or television. They switch on the radio set or TV set and choose the programme they like best of all. People who are interested in sports listen to or watch football and basket-ball matches. Everyone likes to see skating and dancing on the ice.

Some people like music. They listen to concerts of modern and old music, new and old songs and see dances. Television helps us to "visit" different lands, see fish and insects, lakes, rivers and seas. We are shown different countries, cities and people who live there. On TV people could even see both sides of the Moon.

Radio and television extend our knowledge about the world. All that we can do at home. So I think, that ways in which leisure time can be spent are different and interesting! 
 

Questions:

1. How do you spend your leisure? 
2. Do you have a lot of time for leisure? 
3. Do you like to spend your leisure outdoors or at home? 
4. Is it difficult to decide where to go out in evening in big cities? 
5. What other ways in which leisure time can be spent do you know?

Vocabulary:

leisure — досуг 
to switch on — включать 
insect — насекомое 
to extend — расширять

Student Activities, Clubs and Organizations

Even though ALC occupies a small campus, we offer a large variety of activities in which our students may participate. Whatever your passion – be it athletics, the performing arts, community service, student government, spirituality, intellectual pursuits, or creative expression – we have something for you.  

Many of our departments have created clubs and honor societies, most of which have a keen interest in carrying out some kind of community service. If you have a specific interest, check out the College’s departments and programs to find out more about what is available to you.  

A number of our clubs, organizations, and activities are student-generated, so there is always the possibility that something new will come along in which you can focus your free time and energy. Here we have compiled a list of the aspects of student life that you will most often encounter at ALC. If you happen not to find one of your passions or interests represented in our list, make a note of it and bring that idea with you to campus. We’d love to hear it!

Resident Advisors

Resident Advisors

There are two Head R.A.s and three Assistant Head R.A.s and 27 R.A.s serving as student staff members in the dorms. These students spend a week each fall in an intensive training program and continue weekly seminars throughout the school year. They are in good academic and social standing which facilitate their role as student leaders. They are responsible for monitoring student behavior, and, when serving assigned weekend duties, planning activities for students remaining on campus.

Student Government Association

SGA

Eleven students serve as officers of the Student Government Association. The SGA is a representative body which presents the views and suggestions of students to aid in motivating educational development of the students. The SGA also reviews curriculum, student activities, and College policies, rules, and regulations, and makes recommendations to the College administration. The president of the student body is elected each spring to serve the following year. The duties of the president of the student body include working with the student government to plan social events and college forums, conferring with the administrative staff as a representative of the student body, cooperating with the Student Services Office in programs sponsored by staff and students, and organizing new approaches toward the enhancement of student life.

Student Activities Board

Student Activities

A Student Activities Board is chosen each year to assist the Director of Student Activities. The student members elect a Chairman of the Board who will then lead the other members in such duties as: decorating, checking IDs at dances, planning special events, etc. The members of the Board will ask for suggestions from the student body, and these suggestions will be brought to the attention of the Board.

Phi Beta Lambda

PBL

Phi Beta Lambda is the college version of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). It is a national organization that better prepares students for careers in business and business-related fields. Regardless of career field choice, business affects every area of employment. Thus, this organization is open to all Alice Lloyd College students regardless of their major or discipline.

The purpose of the Omega Alpha Tau Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda is to provide additional opportunities for college students to develop skills in the area of administration and to promote a sense of civic and personal responsibility. The specific goals are to develop competent, aggressive business leadership; to strengthen the confidence of students in themselves and their work; to create more interest and understanding of American business enterprise; to develop character; to prepare for useful citizenship and foster patriotism; to encourage scholarship; and to promote school loyalty.

Voices of Appalachia

VOA

Members of the College’s choir, Voices of Appalachia, are selected each year by the choir director. The choir is composed of a variable number of students with a faculty director and an accompanist. The choir tours each spring, traveling to communities throughout the United States, and presents a concert for the campus each Christmas and in April. Student members rehearse two days each week throughout the school year.

On their tours, choir members quickly discover that audiences share their love of the Appalachian Mountains. Conveyed are the deep feelings that mountain people have of their beautiful green-forested mountains, their families, their joys and sorrows.The tours are an invaluable educational experience. Students grow personally from living and working together as a group. They benefit from a sense of accomplishment and a joy in sharing with newfound friends.

Although few choir members have had formal musical training, critics frequently comment on the beautiful harmonies, fresh approach, and strong enthusiasm. The unique style of the “Voices” is indigenous to the mountains and dates back to pre-Elizabethan times, as do many of their songs.

Acoustic Instrument Ensemble

Acoustic Instrument Ensemble

Richard Bowers, the current director of the Voices of Appalachia, noticed that many of his choir members were interested in playing traditional mountain instruments. To facilitate and encourage that interest, Bowers began the Acoustic Instrument Ensemble. The ensemble, which is a stand-alone group that travels and performs with the choir, grew from featuring only the banjo to now include the acoustic guitar, upright bass, mandolin, and fiddle. 

The group also represents Alice Lloyd College in one or two shows a month, independent of the choir.

Student Ministry

Как сказать, сколько времени, 
на английском

Сам вопрос: «Который час? / Сколько сейчас времени?» звучит следующим образом:

What time is it?

What is the time?

What’s the time?

Более вежливые формы обращения:

Для обозначения времени в английском языке обычно используется 12-часовая система, если требуется (не понятно по контексту), то с уточнением времени суток (утра или вечера и т. д.). 24-часовая система может использоваться в расписаниях и прочих документах, требующих особой точности и однозначности.

Слово «часы» и «час» имеют несколько значений в русском языке, и поэтому переводятся по-разному, в зависимости от того, что подразумевается:

Итак, для обозначения часа, соответствующего той или иной цифре на циферблате (или экране) часов, используется слово “o’clock”, которое не изменяется в зависимости от предшествующей цифры:

Для уточнения, можно добавить следующие слова:

Полдень и полночь:

Слово “o’clock” может и опускаться как подразумеваемое по смыслу:

Для уточнения могут использоваться следующие слова:

Чтобы указать время с точностью до минут, можно использовать следующие модели построения фраз:

1-й способ (самый простой) – называть только цифры (без слова “minutes” - минуты):

2-й способ – с указанием часа (начавшегося или следующего). Слово “minutes” (минуты) может употребляться и не употребляться.

Если количество минут от 1 до 30, используется предлог “past” (в значении «после»), также указывается уже наступивший час:

При этом надо быть внимательным при переводе, поскольку в русском языке обычно указывается последующий час:

Если количество минут от 31 до 59, указывается количество минут, оставшихся до наступления следующего часа и используется предлог “to” (в значении «до»):

15 минут часто называют «четвертью часа», по-английски – “a quarter”.

Если говорят о начале часа, используется предлог “past” (в значении «после») и указывается уже наступивший час (при переводе на русский язык указывается последующий час):

Если говорят о второй половине часа (45 минут), используется предлог “to” (в значении «до») и указывается последующий час:

Для обозначения половины часа употребляется слово “half” (половина) без артикля и всегда с предлогом “past” (в значении «после») и указывается уже наступивший час (при переводе на русский язык указывается последующий час):

Чтобы сказать, что часы спешат или отстают, используются слова “fast” (в значении «спешат») и “slow” (в значении «отстают»):
