In GKC everyone gets their own
computers given by the school to write down notes from the lessons and to do
your homework. We also have the access to a free wi-fi. In Capirola nobody gets
a computer but they have computers they can use in a computer lab for the
Informatics. The students in Capirola do their homework on a paper and write
down notes in a notebook. Although, they don’t have a free wi-fi. Both in
Capirola and in GKC you’re not allowed to use your cell phone unless the
teacher says it’s okay. If you use your phone during the lesson at GKC the
teacher will ask you to put it away. But if you use your phone during the
lesson at Capirola the teacher will take it away and give it back to you at the
end of the school day.
In Italy it’s more common to
play video games than computer games. We play the same video games in both
Italy and in Sweden such as FIFA, GTA and COD. But in Sweden we also play
computer games. Almost everyone knows what Netflix is and almost everyone use
it. Whereas, in Italy they don’t use Netflix. They usually watch movies in the
cinema or on Sky instead of watching movies and series on the internet.
In Italy every house has
fences. Mostly because they want to protect themselves and the house from
thieves. In Sweden it isn’t that common to have fences around the house. Some
houses don’t have any fence at all. Sometimes there’s bushes that parts the
houses from each other. In the houses the majority of the people in Sweden use
electricity driven stoves. Meanwhile, most of the Italians use gas stoves. We
both have wooden floors and stone floors. But the Italians have more stone
floors than we in Sweden have. In Sweden it’s normal to have stone floors in
the bathroom and sometimes in the entrance.
The cities in Sweden have more
nature than in Italy. There’s more cars and people in Italy because the
population is bigger. They also have lots of old monuments, older buildings and
shopping centers. The cities in Sweden are turning more modern although we
still have some older buildings and monuments left.
