student n º 10 TIMETABLE DIFFERENCES
When my partner from Germany came here , she told me that we had a very different timetable .
In the morning we start classes more or less at the same time but they get up earlier than us because most of them live away from the High School . So , they have to go there by bicycle , train or walking . They have class until 13:00 p . m . and after that , they take a break to have lunch . In the afternoon they usually finish at half past three and they have all afternoon to do sports or to study . We also finish at half past three , but as we have seven hours one after the other we don ' t have lunch until we arrive home . And this is really hard for us because we are so hungry and tired .
The other big difference between our timetables is that they have dinner at six or seven o ' clock and we have dinner about nine or ten o ´ clock . So we usually go late to bed . Also in Germany people use to finish working earlier than in Spain and because of that they can spend more time with the family . In Spain people often have two hours to have lunch , but they finish working very late and they can ' t be with the family much . This is the main reason to go later to bed than german people . Despite that a lot of people want to change this to have more free time for them and for the others .
