The Fonix

The Fourth English Competition for Catalan Schools (THE FONIX 2011) is designed to promote the use of English among school students through a fun and educational competition in an informal educational setting.
The objective of the competition is to select a finalist from each of the first two stages: local, territorial and the winners at the final stage.
The exercises in all the stages of the competition will consist of writing tasks, each based on a different theme (for example: geography, history or music) The written tasks contain a variety of activities on vocabulary, reading and writing. In the final stage of the competition, there will also be an oral section in the test.
The regional stage of the competition will take place at the same time on the same day in all the examining centres in Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida and Girona.

Writings with class, written in class

I was surprised when I arrived at the bus stop: it was empty. All the street was empty. The shops were empty,too. I started to run across the street. I was so scared, I picked up my mobile phone and I called all my friends but there was no answer.

In the streets, there weren't any cars. Suddenly, I started to listen to loud laughs, shouts and strange music. I thought I was getting crazy. I went to the supermarket but it was closed. I went to the bank, but it was also closed. I looked at the sky, it semed as it was going to rain and this made the atmosphere even more frightening. I walked away from the streets and my alarm watch said to me that it was midnight. I was lonely and scared when I saw a lot of cars making a lot of noise and suddenly I remembered a very important thing... There has been a football match, Barça- Madrid! Now, all was correct: people were in their houses watching TV. How could I have forgotten such an event?
