My University Days
When I was studying at the university I worked very hard for passingin order to pass my exams. I used to go to the main library for studying every evening after lessons. At the weekends, I sometimes studied with a friend, Ali.
Ali was a hard-working student too, but he had to work partime for helping paying forpart-time to help pay towards his living expenses. His parents sent him an allowance every month, but it wasn't enough for living.
Ali worked nights in the local Chinese take-away on Saturdays, so he was always too tired for studying on Sunday mornings with me. He slept until late Sunday afternoon, but I used to get up at 10:00 a.m., go to the gym for keepingto keep fit, and then do a few hours studying at the library.
