Castelló d'Empúries is the village where I live.

It's a beautiful place where you can see a lot of things for example: the old washing place, the Santa Maria cathedral (it's the most beautiful church in the Empordà), the old prison, the goose walk, the big house, "la llotja", the plaça dels homes square....you can go to Empuriabrava too and here you can see the canals, the Nautical Club...

Here there is a mediterranean climate. In the summer it's sunny and in the winter it's cold.Sometimes it is windy that her name is "Tramuntana".

Here you can do a lot of activities: riding a bike in the "Aiguamolls", do windsurfing, kitesurfing....at the Empuriabrava's beach, learn something about history with Castelló's monuments...

The people in Castelló are very chatty, sociable and sometimes they gossip a lot.

Discussion essay 2: What about being a famous person?

At the moment there are a lot of famous persons in the world. There’re singers, actress,politicians…There are obviously advantages and disadvantages about being famous.

On the one hand, famous people are rich and every people know him. They are favored than the rest of the world in restaurants, pubs,discos,shops…because for them everything is free because people from the place are admired and is given everything to them when they see him.

On the other hand, famous people don’t have a private life because there are paparazzi who spy them all the time. There’re the fans,too,who sometimes become heavy, for example when they go to the theatre to watch a play and all people go there and say: “Can I take a photo please?”. If there are only people who do this is good but if there’re more than one or two persons is heavy.

Personally, I believe that famous people don’t like to be famous person because you can’t have your private life and all people in the world know everything that happen in your life.

For that reason, I will never be a famous person because I like a lot to have my private life and live my life.

Discussion essay 1

Now, in schools there aren’t any discipline. The boys and the girls don’t behave well, answer the teacher, they jump the rules…In the past this didn’t happened, children behave well, don’t jump the rules…We need rules and punishments. There are positive and negative sides of this.

On the one hand, I think that teachers aren’t stricts like the old teachers( our parents teachers) and the children are more rebel than the old children (for example our parents).

On the other hand, rules aren’t more stricts than before and I think that there’re stupids rules.

Personally, I believe that teachers will be more stricts and teach children to be a better people.

The podcast* Writer

I have one young sister, Marta. She's eight years old and she studies fourth of primary school. She was born on 13th November and there is seven years difference between us.
She has a dark hair and brown eyes. She’s tall and strong.
She's funny, friendly, and stubborn and she's the person who I laugh more with.
We argue every day but after we make up.
She is very talkative and she talks about her friends, her teachers, her studies and her arguments with a boy in her class.
She practice swimming and she dances with the Esbart of Castello d’empuries.

I like having Marta as my sister a lot and I wouldn't change her for any body else!

Dear Miss Pintó,
I’m writing to tell you what I think of our high school, the positive things and the negative things.
In my opinion the high school is a little poor because the walls are grey and this color is sad. I think that the high school is a little dirty because every day there are papers on the floor and the toilets are very dirty and there isn’t any paper.
In the winter the central heating is low and the class is cold.
In my opinion the chairs and the tables are a little old and some are broken.
I think that there are a lot of gratings in the windows and the people feel closed in.
In batxillerat there aren’t a lot of excursions and I think that the people of batxillerat need the excursions too.
I agree with the high school rules because they keep the people in their place.
The teachers are normally good normally but there are some very special and bad too.
I think that is good to have a library for the people who need to study at breaks.
The organization in the excursions is good.
I like the Christmas decoration in the high school a lot.
In general I think that the high school is good for learning but there are a lot of things to do about its image.

I look forward to learning from you soon,

Yours,

Laura Juncà Garriga
