My Workday / Мой рабочий день

My name is Sergey. I work as an engineer in a large company. My workday starts early because I need time to prepare for important tasks. I wake up at 6:30, take a shower, eat breakfast, and leave home. I go to work by subway. It takes me about forty minutes to get to the office. I usually arrive at 8:00. First, I check my emails and plan my day. During the day, I attend meetings, talk to colleagues, and solve technical problems. Sometimes I visit different departments to help with equipment. At lunchtime, I eat in the canteen with my team. After lunch, I work on projects, write reports, or talk to clients. My day finishes at 5:30. In the evening, I come home, relax, cook dinner, and spend time with my family. On some days, I read news about new technologies or play computer games to relax. I like my job because it is interesting and helps me grow.
