Read and choose the right option. ¡Hola, amigos! Soy Raúl de España. We begin the school year in September and end in June. We are off in July and August. In Spain, we have school shifts: some schools run from 9 a. m. through 5 p. m. with a two-hour lunch break; other schools may begin at 9 a. m. and end at 2 p. m., the typical lunchtime in Spain. Some schools may have only a one-hour lunch break and may or may not provide a cafeteria for children to eat at school.

My friend Eloi attends a middle school in Honduras where he goes to the morning shift, but there's another shift in the afternoon. Most primary school children attend the first shift. A normal public-school day in Honduras begins at 7 a. m. and ends between 1 p. m. and 4 p. m. In Honduras, the school year runs from February to November, with a vacation during December and January.
