Computers – Internet
Computers have become part of our everyday life. During last years, rapid development of computer and information technology took place - this gave rise to Internet. At first, Internet was developed for the needs of army and only later it was used also for world-wide communication in the civil sector.
Internet is one of the most interesting and most important contemporary media. It reminds of a spider web spread around the whole planet (therefore it is called world-wide web) which connects millions of computers of those people who want to join it. Via Internet it is possible to communicate with one or many people on the opposite side of the Earth at the same time, it is possible to use the Net (as it is sometimes called) for instant sending and receiving electronic mail (e-mail).
E-mail is an electronic personal connection to the Internet. It can include text, pictures or even audio or animation. Communication software for sending and receiving e-mail is Outlook Express.
Internet is most widely used for looking up information. It can provide millions of pages on almost all fields of human activity you need to know something about.
Yet, Internet is not used just for information and serious matters: you can use it also for entertainment: you can find there games, song lyrics or jokes.
If you don’t know the exact address where to find particular information, you can use special programs for searching addresses: Yahoo, Google, Alta-vista are mostly used abroad; Seznam, Centrum, Volny, Tiscali are mostly used in our country.
My daily routine
My daily routine
Angličtina pro samouky
I usually get up at 6 o’clock. I wash my face and hands, brush my teeth, dry with a towel, dress, comb and have a quick breakfast.
At 6.30 I leave for school. I usually go by bus/trolley bus/tram/train or I walk. Sometimes my father takes me by his car or I ride my motorbike.
At noon we have our lunch (at 11.30 or 12.20). Many times we have afternoon lessons too.
I come home at 4 o’clock. I have my dinner and take a little bit rest. Then I study for the lessons of the next day, listen to music and watch television. I usually go to bed at 10 o’clock.
In my free time I work with a computer, play football, floorball, basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis (table-tennis), badminton or I swim.I drive a motorbike, ride a horse, read books (science fiction, novels, detective stories), magazines (Level, Score…) and newspapers. In winter I ski, skate and play ice-hockey.
My hobbies are collecting stamps, posters and badges, playing chess, playing the piano and guitar, painting, hiking, mountaineering, cycling, roller-skating, skateboarding, modelling...

I am very happy when the week ends and a weekend comes because I can sleep late and I can plan my leisure time as I wish. Besides helping my parents around the house I can go to the cinema, to see an interesting exhibition or I can go out with my friends or visit my relatives or I can devote more time to my hobbies.

At noon we go for our lunch to the dining hall. We usually have soup and main meal plus a glass of tea, sometimes we get some dessert or fruit. Some students prefer buying some- thing in the canteen. After lunch we often have afternoon lessons.
On my way home I sometimes do some shopping or just walk around town. When I come home, I try to relax first. I listen to the radio or cassette player and sit and take a little bit rest. Then I help at home and prepare for the next school day.
In my free time I work with my computer, play football (basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis, badminton) or swim. I like driving my motorbike, reading books (science fiction, novels, detective stories, travels), magazines and newspapers. In winter I ski, skate and play ice-hockey with my friends.
We have our supper at seven o’clock and then I help Mum with washing up. In the evenings I take a shower or have a bath. Then I go to my room and listen to music. Sometimes I watch an interesting film or music programme on TV or a video. From time to time I travel to the city and go to the cinema or to some interesting concert or theatre performance with my friends. Occasionally I have a date with my girl-friend. Around eleven p.m. I go to bed.

My daily programme
I am always busy and short of time. This “merry-go-round” starts on Monday morning and ends on Friday after my lessons.
I usually get up at six o’clock but it is a big problem for me because I like to sleep late. After waking up I do my hygiene routine (I wash my face and hands, brush my teeth, dry with a towel). Then I do a little exercise, get dressed and comb my hair. At seven o’clock I have my breakfast.
I must commute (dojíždět) to school every day, so at half past seven I must go to our bus station (trolley bus stop, tram stop, railway station) and get on my bus (trolley bus, tram, train). The bus is usually crowded to the top and I really envy (závidím) my school-mates who need not commute every day and can go to school on foot. (Sometimes my father takes me by his car or I ride my motorbike.)
My lessons start at about eight o’clock. Lessons are forty-five minutes long and breaks are five or ten minutes, except one “long“ break between the second and third lessons, which is twenty minutes long. Lessons take place either in our classroom or in various labs or a gym
