Farewell.

To all the staff and students of Puigvert,

I would like to thank you all for being a part of my time here. It has been a fantastic experience, I have learned a lot and you have all been so welcoming and supportive. I hope I have been able to play a part in your language progression as you have all certainly played a part in mine. I want to encourage you all to keep studying, English is going to be very important in your futures.

Thank you for a wonderful experience that I will not soon forget.

Sincerely,

Kate

Here goes one of the winners of  St. George literary contest:
Batx 1(Sandra Pérez)
ST. GEORGE’S DAY

What would you answer if someone asks you for the legend of St. George?
The origin of the legend of St. Georges brings us back to the 3rd century in Turkey, where St. George was born. He was a roman military who rejected the order of his Emperor to persecute Christian people. He was beheaded and he became an important Saint in the eastern part of the Roman Empire
By the 9th century, his fame had widespread. It’s said that the trouble between St George and the famous dragon happened in Libya.
In Catalonia, the legend tells us that in Montblanc (Conca del Barberà) was living a terrible dragon who was very hungry. Then the king had to give him a person to satisfy his appetite.
One day, luck draw to the king’s daughter. She would have died if St. George hadn’t appeared and hadn’t fought with the dragon. He killed the dragon and legend says that from the dragon’s blood a lot of roses were born.
Ever since then, on this popular festive day, boys usually give roses to his girlfriends and girls give books to her boyfriends.
Although 23rd April isn’t a public holiday, you can see floods of people on the streets. It’s wonderful to walk while seeing some rose’s stalls!
On this day, I think it’s very important to meet with family and friends, at least for me because I haven’t got a boyfriend yet.
Every year my dad gives my mother and I a white rose, and I hope receive it this year.
There’s nothing nicer than celebrating this romantic legend with your loved ones.
