Hello, I’m Lluís Sala and I send you this email to give you information about my school.

My subjects are Catalan, Spanish, English, maths, history, science, technology, PE, ITC, art, tutory, religion and the KET preparation. I start school at nine o’clock and I finish at five o’clock, then I do extra activities. My extra activities are rowing, playing tennis, art practising and English classes.

At school we have a canteen, but I only go at the canteen on Thursday and the other days I go home. The menu is different every week and it’s varied food.
