We've got a break at 11.00. We finish at 1.30 and people go to the canteen, but I go home  because food is better. The school starts at 3.00 in the afternoon. Lessons finish at 5.00. People usually do sport, music or particular classes after school. I go swimming and I do music and English classes.
