Today is Monday and it is my first day at university. My name is Alex and I am nineteen years old. I wake up early in the morning, drink a cup of coffee, and walk to the campus with my backpack. When I arrive at the main building, I see many students from all around the world. I smile and say: "Good morning!" to my classmates. We enter room 304 and our English teacher, Professor Miller, welcomes everyone. "Hello everyone! Welcome to our language course," she says with a bright smile. During the class, we practice the alphabet, spell our names, and talk about our hobbies using the present simple. At the end of the lesson, I pack my notebook and say to my new friends: "See you later!". It is an amazing and exciting start!
