Dear Ms Pintó,

I’m a student from first of Batxillerat, and I’ve been informed about the school’s calendar changes through the media and my tutor. I have a few aspects to comment.

First of all, I would like to talk about the advantages of studying up to now which have been good. The timetable has been OK because I have got used to the times and have been able to plan the rest of my activities around the present timetable.
Then, the disadvantages will be with the new programme:
I’m against losing holiday days, because I think it can be worse for our psychological rest and also because we need time to shape our character in our society. For it, I think we’ll be more stressed and really hungry these days and all the year.
Another disadvantage will be the extreme weather conditions: July is as very hot month and not ideal for studying.

In my experience, I don’t like the present calendar because I haven’t got enough time for homework and extra studying. In another words, the government, in my opinion, have no idea what is good for the students. I do not know if they have studied the situation of the students.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Aleix Serra
