Dear dad and mum,

How are you?  Hope you are fantastic. Here, in Catalonia, I’m quite relaxed. Why? Because here, the school isn’t as hard as in Shangai. I start at nine O'clock in the morning. I study for three hours. After that, I have a little free time, about 20 minutes, to have breakfast. When I return to class, I study three hours more. (Why did you start a new paragraph?)
At three a.m, I go back home, to have lunch. When I finish, I clean all the dishes and I tidy up the room. I sleep a little bit between four o’clock and five o’clock.  At five o`clock, I start to review all my homework and class projects. I study two hours every day.

Here, everything it's calmer. People live without stress. The teachers are more friendly and sociable than in Shangai. But the Catalan students aren’t as competitive as Chinese students. In general, in Catalan classrooms, people have worse marks than in Shangai classrooms. (why a new paragraph?)
I think in Shangai, the concept of studying it’s to give to the student, a lot of skills, but only fixing in theory and practice exercices. But here, in Catalonia, the teachers try to insert that, using a more personal way. You feel that they are closer to you, and they take care about your social and your student life.     

About the rest, everything goes fine. I miss you a lot.
See you son! Love!!! XOXOXOX
