MADRID

I have been to Madrid twice.
The first time, I went with my family and some friends of my parents. And the second trip to Madrid was at the end of course 08, in “4rt eso”, with my school friends.

When I went with my family, we stayed in the hotel in the centre of the city, in the “Gran Via”.

We visited a lot of museums. The Prado museum is very interesting, and you can find the really important pictures of the famous painters.
We walked around the city to see famous places.
When I went with my school friends, we stayed four days, We lodged in a student’s hostel ouside the city.
We visited famous places in Mardid, and we visited the parliament .
We went shopping and had fun.

MY FAVOURITE GROUP

My favourite group is “La Fuga”.

I like many songs. On the 13th I'm going to the concert with my friends. Now I listen to the songs of the new cd, but I like the songs of other cds.

My favourite song is:

“por verte sonreir”

Hace tiempo `prometí escribirte una canción,
Como siempre, mal y tarde, la tienes aquí
Sabes bien, como soy, que no suelo mentir
Siempre que lo hice fue por verte sonreír

Llámame, te quiero escuchar
Ya lo ves, no siempre me va bien
Al cantar me duele el corazón
Y enloquezco cada noche
En cada actuación

Fui yo quien dijo no, y ahora en la misma mesa
Se me enfría el café mientras dices que te va bien
Tranquila, ya no volveré a llamar, no me volverás a ver
Esta vez me marcho para no volver

Llámame, te quiero escuchar
Ya lo ves, no siempre me va bien
Al cantar me duele el corazón
Y enloquezco cada noche
En cada actuación

Y ahora cansado de mirar tu foto en la pared
Cansado de creer que todavía estás
He vuelto a recordar las tardes del café,
Las noches locas que siempre acaban bien
Y me he puesto a gritar estrellando el whisky en la pared
Por verte sonreír he vuelto yo a perder

Llámame, te quiero escuchar
Ya lo ves, no siempre me va bien
Al cantar me duele el corazón
Y enloquezco cada noche
En cada actuación

Llámame, te quiero escuchar
Ya lo ves, no siempre me va bien
Al cantar me duele el corazón
Y enloquezco cada noche
En cada actuación

Sant Pere Pescador

St. Pere Pescador is my village. Our village in the Empordà, a lilttle universe of landscape set in one of the most beautiful bays to be found in the Mediterranean.

· The LANDSCAPE: the great expanses of green and wooded zones that suround the village from a unique setting, conductive to pursuits such as hiking, horse-riding and cycling.
· The BEACH: our beach features an exceptional beach of dunes bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean. Nearly 7 Km of activity, beauty, nature relaxacion,..
· The RIVER: water plays a key role in Sant Pere Pescador. From the Fluvià river to the Mediterranean sea, water irrigates our crops, fills our wetlands, draws the rods of fishermen and carries along the vessels and surf boards of water-sports enthusiasts.
· The APPLES: the local apple is the star of our district’s agricultural produce, it is exported all over the world on account of its reputation for quality.

A SPECIAL SATURDAY

I get up at 10:00 o’clock, I have a shower and after that I get dressed with my favourite clothes.
Then I go to the kitchen for breakfast.
I phone my friends to go shopping in Girona.
At 11:30 we catch the train.
We go shopping in the city centre to buy a lot of clothes and more shoes.
At lunchtime we go to eat in a restaurant. After that we watch a film in the cinema.
When the film is finished, we return home.
At the time of dinner my best friends come to my house, we get changed and we put on make up, and after we go to the disco.

TERRITORY OF ENGLAND

The territory that today includes England was occupied by Celtic tribes. Rome invaded Great Britain.During the 5th century, several Germanic tribes invaded the Great Britain, moving the culture of the coming Celtic populations towards the West and to the North. This invasion is known as an Anglo-Saxon conquest. From the 8th century, England suffered constant incursions on the part of the vikings.The Battle of Hastings, in 1066, is a crucial moment of the history.

CHESTNUTS

Together with panallets and "vi ranci",

chestnuts are the most traditional
product for the time of year around

All Saints’ Day. Chestnuts grow in

numerous Catalan forests. In the

chestnut forest of Sant Segimon, at

the foot of the Matagalls mountains,

the trees are very old; their trunks

measure more than ten metres in

diameter and have large cavities.

The best way to eat chestnuts is to

go to a "castanyada". On 1st November

there are large "castanyades" in every

village.

NEW COURSE

First course in Batxillerat

I started this course in Castelló d’Empúries, because in my old school they don’t do Batxillerat. As I live in Sant Pere Pescador. I have to come to Castelló.
I like coming here because people are very friendly. I have a lot of friends, and I’m more independent that in my previous school. When the students decide to do Batxillerat they must be persistent in their work, organized, they have to study every day, do their homework, give in projects on the date. And also we all revise our notes at home. I try to do it but I find it very difficult to go through my notes every day.
