My friend

I've got a friend. His name is Alexander Smirnov. He's twenty-four years of age. Alexander is married. He's got a wife and a daughter. His wife is a bookkeeper. His daughter is three years old. She goes to a kindergarden. Alexander has to support his family. He works as a builder in a small company. His salary is not very high. My friend works on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. His working day begins at 7.30 a.m. and ends at 4.00 p.m. Alexander is a part-time student at our institute. He's in his second year. Alexander takes a course in civil engineering. His specialization is Construction Materials. He goes to the institute twice a week: on Wednesday and Saturday. My friend attends lectures, classes and seminars. After each term he sits examinations. He usually has excellent and good marks in all subjects. Alexander is seldom given satisfactory marks in examinations. He never gets bad marks. His term papers are also very good.

I'm sure he will make a good civil engineer. He hopes to get a good job after graduation.
