A Collserola visit

Today we have went to the park of Collserola. We were my family and one friends of us. We have gone to see one exposition of the animals and plants that live in this mountain. We have seen some birds and a lot of plants and in a video we have seen some wild boar eating in the bins of the villages near the mountain. We have seen the video in the office of the park (see the photo). One of the responsable have told us about the importance of not to throw the rubbish in the night in this villages, because the wild boar come in the nights to the bins. This is dangerous for the animals and for the people. After it, we have went to eat in a restaurant in the mountain. The food was delicious and the views of the mountain  was inpresionant. 

This afternoon I’ll have to study Catalan and it will be horrible.  

A boring week

This week I haven't done anything interesting. All the mornings, I have gone to the high school and in the afternoons I  have done my extraschool activities. The monday and wednesday I have done English, the tuesday Chess and Badminton, the thursday Badminton and in the saturday I have done Swimming pool.
It's incredible but in this week I haven't done anything important. This week is one of these weeks that you want to finish because every day is the same that the day before. It has been a week that I didn't know if it was monday or thursday, because I have done always the same. The most interesting thing is that yesterday my mother done a risotto. I love this italian dish so I had a lovely lunch.
I repeated three times and I stopped because there wasn't more.        

 

Catalunya Radio

The 12th I've went to Catalunya Radio. This is the radio of Catalonia and the owner is the government. There're four radio stations together:
Catalunya Radio (for programs, music, news, etc)
Catalunya Informació (24 h of news)
Catalunya Musica (only for classic music)
Icat fm (for pop and rock music in the internet)
There, we have visited all the facilities needed to make a radio programe, for example we have saw where the scripts of the programs is wrote.
For a person who loves the radio stars, he would saw a lot of important people but I only recognized Alfons Arus (a famous TV and radio presenter).
The visit was organized by the AMPA (the mothers and the fathers association) of the hig school.

One of the activities that were prepared was to go to the Barcelona Children’s Fair, in Montjuic. My mother was working  and my father, my sister and me decided to go for our own. There, my sister did a lot of activities and she didn’t stop in all the day. My fahter and me were following hers around ¡¡three big buildings !!

I couldn’t do many activities because they were for children until 12 years old. I did twice an activity of the Catalan Federation of Olympic Shooting, wiht a competition shotgun; I played a 3x3 football game; and I rode in a track with a mountain bike. At eight o’clock we arrived to my house.
