Брат моего друга закончит занятия в институте к лету, и ему не терпится приступить к

преподаванию. После того как он закончит институт, он начнет преподавать в школе. Я думаю, он станет хорошим учителем и дети будут его любить. Сейчас он упорно работает,

потому что знает, что время летит быстро, и может случиться, что у него не будет

времени повторить все основательно. Вчера мы занимались вместе, и я помогал ему с его дипломной работой. Завтра он будет работать весь день, а вечером мы пойдем в

бассейн, потому что, я думаю, к тому времени он закончит всю свою работу.
