Hello. My name is Enric Solé. I live in Lleida, a city in inland Catalonia, not far from Barcelona.


I am a student of 14 years old. So, I study at high school. I am in 3rd of ESO. I start classes at 8:15 a.m., so I wake up at 7 o’clock a.m.. First, I get dressed and then I go to the sofa. I like wearing short jeans with a T-shirt and a jumper, and sport shoes. But, when I do physical education at high school, I wear a tracksuit with a jumper and trainers. There, on the sofa, I have breakfast with my parents. I drink only a cup of milk with Nesquik, because later, I have breakfast again. Then, at 7:30 a.m. we leave home. My father goes to work to the industrial area and my mother takes me to the high school, but my mother stays with me because she works in the same place. Then, she goes inside to prepare the classes and I stay outside waiting for my friends. When it’s 8:15 a.m. we go inside to start classes. We have two hours approximately of classes and then a break time. Then, I eat a sandwich that my father has prepared for me the previous day. I play football with my friends and more people of other school years. I am always the goalkeeper because I am very bad at kicking the ball. Later, after half an hour, we restart classes. We do again two hours of classes and then another break time. I eat another sandwich and I play football. Then, two more hours and we are free!!. We finish classes for that day. Then, I go with my friend to the canteen and we have lunch at 3:00 p.m. and later, we go to play football with other friends of the school. We play a match or some other games. We enjoy always that time.
Then, at 4:00 p.m. more or less, I go with my mother back home, because she was eating in the canteen too. There, at home, first of all I do my homework, sometimes during half an hour, one hour or two hours, depending on how much of each I have for the next day. Then, I rest on the sofa watching TV or videos in my tablet. When it is between 6 or 7 p.m., I have a snack. Always delicious. When I finish, I watch the Tv or videos again. But not always it is like this.On Mondays I have robotics from 4 to 6 p.m., on Tuesdays I have Chinese from 5 to 6 p.m. and I have handball from 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and from 7 to 9 on Fridays. But always I have dinner at 9:15 p.m. more or less. So, I go to bed at 10 o’clock p.m. Wow!!  Hard days!
