Hi everyone. It's already September. I'm not sure if it's something good or bad for me.
When September comes, all of my friends come back from the beach or from other places and that makes me happy. In summer, I have nothing to do, my girlfriend and my friends are always out from Seville. So these are good news.
However, the day my brother is leaving Seville is closer to us.
He's going to live in Praga for one year. I've just realised that his departure is not a joke and it's closer than I thought.
Since we knew he was leaving in the ninth of September, we've seen this date so distant until now.
Due to this, I've cried a lot today. It's going to be really hard not seeing him for a year.
Plus, he isn't looking forward to go because he's going to miss many people here, his girlfriend, his family, his friends.... However, he's not able to say no to this experience now, it's too late.
I'm not sure if ithat's somethinga good or bad thing for me.
WheIn September comes, all of, my friends come backhome from the beach or from other placeir summer vacations and that makes me happy.
there's nothing wrong with saying "from the beach or from other places" but in casual conversation, from summer vacations would be enough.
In summer, I have nothing to do, because my girlfriend and my friends are always out from Seville.of town.
if you want to mention Seville, you could say something like "usually leave Seville"
So these areis is good news.
While your intuition is right knowing that "these" refers to multiples of a thing and you listed multiples of things above, grammatically and in casual conversation it makes more sense to use the singular "this".
Functionally, this sentence is saying something like "this news (that both my friends and girlfriend are coming home from their summer vacations, and any number of things) is good news"
However, the day my brother iswill be leaving Seville is closer to ussoon.
He's going to live in Praga for onea year.
I've just realised that his departure is not a jokHis departure is becoming more real to me and it's closer than I thought.
this is the right way to use "not a joke" in a sentence, but "not a joke" conveys a different type of seriousness than this context
Example 1 "This conversation isn't a joke, I need you to take this seriously." Example 2: "Skydiving school is not a joke. It's way more difficult than I was expecting."
"becoming more real", on the other hand, conveys seriousness, but in a less potentially angry way and in a more contemplative, thoughtful, or sad, longing kind of way.
Since we klearnewd he was leaving in the ninth ofon September 9th, we've seen this date aso distant until now.

Good job! Sounds like you're dealing with both exciting and difficult emotions. I hope everything works out for your brother! Time can go by quicker than you'd expect for situations like his.

(1) The preposition to use here is "in".
(2) You may omit "in our lives" to be more concise, as it might be somewhat redundant.
Hi everyone.

In summer, I have nothing to do, my girlfriend and my friends are always out ofrom Seville.
The more natural phrase is "out of (a place)".
So these areis is good news.
It being September is only one piece of news, so the singular is expected.
However, the day my brother is leaving Seville is closer to us.
He's going to live in Pragaue for one year.
Did you mean Czech capital Prague?
I've just realised that his departure is not a joke and it's closer than I thought.
Since we knew he was leaving ion the ninth of September, we've seen this datethis date had seemed so distant until now.
(1) For specific dates, we use the preposition "on".
(2) I've rephrased the last part of your sentence so that it sounds more natural.
Due to this, I've cried a lot today.

Instead of "like", you can alternatively also use "such as".
However, he's not able to say no to this experience now, it's too late.
I'm not sure "experience" is the most appropriate word to use here. In fact, you can simply remove it. The reader will be able to infer what "this" refers to.

I wish both you and your brother the best of luck. You two must be close.
