My town by Sonia Sans


From Sonia to Jasmine Hellmer

Hi Jasmine! I’m going to talk about my town.

My town name’s Arbeca, it's near Les Borges Blanques and about 2 hours of Barcelona, in Catalonia. It’s a little town about 2500 inhabitants. There aren’t as many things as in big city like Barcelona but it’s enough for us.

We have two schools, one for babies and the other for children from the age of 3 years old to the 11 years old.  The second school in the history was a castle of “Duque de Cardona”. Our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents fought to build a school but they hadn’t enough money for it and they decided to change the castle into a school.

We don’t have any building for a theatre or cinema but we reproduce films in a little space to celebrate parties, carnivals, etc. We have a big old church and it is 150 years old approximated.  There is also a music school.
To practice sports, we have an athletics ring and inside it a football pitch. Near this, there is another football pitch but this is smaller than the other and it’s only for babies.  In summer, we have a swimming pool and there are three pools of different sizes.
In my town people practice many sports like cycling, running, horse riding, football, gymnastics, etc.

We celebrated the Festa Major in summer, in the end of August. Festa Major consists of making a lot of activities for young people, dances for parents and grandparents in the afternoon and about 12 o’clock at night till 6 or 7 in the morning, there are concerts and parties for teenagers. The Saturday of Festa Major one group of our town play “Batukada” and this band plays percussion instruments and all people follow them along the streets of the town and we finished in the bar of swimming pool and there we have breakfast.It’s a great party! In Festa Major we celebrate Arbequi de Ferro too. It's a game in the mud.
We have other celebrations too like “Santa Caterina” and “El sopar de la fam” but these are boring.

Well Jasmine, this can be a little bit of my town but we make it very nice! There are more things to explain but I believe that they aren’t necessary.
I hope your answer soon!

Bye, Sònia

  1. Your town sounds awesome! It is somewhat similar to mine. There are a few mistakes that I need to address:
    1. Les Borges Blanques and about 2 hours of Barcelona --> changes to "Les Borges Blanques and is about 2 hours out of Barcelona.

    2.It’s a little town about 2500 inhabitants --> changes to "It's a little town with about 2,500 inhabitants.

    3.To practice sports, we have an athletics ring and inside it a football pitch --> changes to "To practice sports, we have an athletics ring and inside of it there is a football pitch.

    4.I hope your answer soon! --> changes to "I hope you answer soon!"

    En conjunto, tu párrafo es muy muy bien y muy interesante! Yo quiero vivir en su pueblo!
