 I AM A MEDICAL STUDENT
My name is Olexandr Smereka. I am from Ukraine. I am 17 years old. I
was born on the 17th of September in Kyiv, a capital of Ukraine. Now I am a
first-year student of the Higher State Educational Establishment of Ukraine
"Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy".
I was working hard during the whole year having extra lessons in
Physics, Biology, and Ukrainian because the competition was very high, and it
was difficult to win it.
So, I care for medicine and I am going to be a doctor. Medical students
must remember that it is not easy to be a good specialist. A good doctor must
have not only deep knowledge of a particular field of medicine. He must love
people and have a kind heart. One of the prominent therapeutists professor
Konchalovsky considers that a person may be a poor writer, he may be a bad
painter or an actor but a person cannot and must not be a bad doctor.
 I AM A MEDICAL STUDENT
As for my family it is neither big nor small. There are five persons in it. I
have my father, mother, brother, and sister. My father’s name is Ivan Petrovich.
He is 42 years old. He is a stomatologist. He has a full-time job. My mother’s
name is Olga Ivanivna. She is a skilled doctor.
She has a good reputation in the hospital. My brother’s name is Oleg. He
is 13 years old. He is doing very well at school. He studies French and German
there. My elder sister Helen is 25 years old. She is a designer by profession.
She is married. She has a husband and a son.
I don’t live with my family at this moment. I live in a students' hostel.
Now my relatives live not far from Odesa. They have a flat of their own in a
block of flats. I miss my parents because I love them very much.
 I AM A MEDICAL STUDENT
My working day begins early because the classes start at half past 8. So, I
get up at 7 о'clock. First of all I make my bed, do my morning exercises and go
to the bathroom where I brush my teeth and wash. As I am a medical student I
consider that physical exercises are “a good remedy” for the protection of my
health against diseases.
At about half past 7 I have breakfast, which usually consists of a cup of
coffee or tea and a sandwich. During breakfast I listen to the news or music on
the radio. I live not far from the academy. It takes me about 15 minutes to get
there. I go on foot. My fellow-students who live rather far must take a bus, or
trolley bus. City traffic is awful in the morning!
 I AM A MEDICAL STUDENT
As a rule we have several practical classes and a lecture. We study many
subjects, such as Anatomy, Histology, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History of
Medicine, Latin, and English.
Our studies are rather difficult. The most difficult subject for me is
Anatomy, but I work hard on it.
When the classes are over I go home (to the hostel). I have dinner and
rest a little. Then I read textbooks and additional medical literature, make
abstracts, and do some exercises. When I have spare time I watch TV, listen to
the music or visit my friends or they come to visit me. I have a lot of friends
and we often spend free time together, especially on Sundays.
At 11 o'clock I go to bed. As I work hard I do sleep well.
