My friend's parents were a schoolteacher and an engineer. They enjoyed their work. They made sure they had enough time to spend with their family.
School usually started at nine a.m. Kids were in class until noon. Then they would take a break. They would have lunch, play or do other things. They would go back to class at three p.m. They went home at five p.m.
How is this school day different from your school day?
A lot of students walk if their school is close enough. My friend did not walk. He took the metro to get to school. The metro is a train that runs underground. He was allowed to take the metro to school by himself! Few kids get to school this way. How do you get to school?
He and his friends would eat lunch at a park near the school. His favorite lunch was a ham bocadillo with a natural tomato sauce on top.
At school the kids spoke Catalan and Spanish. They also learned English at school. Hello is "hola" in both Catalan and Spanish.
