Carles, you continue to make good progress, picking up and using lots of new language as you go. Nice work!
Activities
- The Human Towers in Catalonia Catalonia is a region in Spain with its own language and culture. Catalan people have a lot of traditions. One of the most famous tradition is the human towers, which is called “Castells” in Catalan language. “Castells” means castles, however these buildings aren’t make with stones, these buildings are made with brave people. Human towers are complex structures. The point is to put people above other people with the objective to make high human towers. This activity needs a lot of rehearsal and training. Each person has his specific work and the people who climb the tower are very experts. This activity has a risk, but it’s not usual to see a fall. Besides, the children wear a helmet to protect their head. A lot of men and women form an organized human carpet to cushion the impact in case of fall. Human towers are a social activity. Everyone can help and everyone can have a work to do. Human towers’ members know that if they want to have success, they have to work together. It’s a real teamwork! .
July 2, 201881 - Marillion at Royal Albert Hall The Royal Albert Hall is one of the most famous auditoriums in Europe. This beautiful British concert hall can host about 9.000 people. Last October the progressive rock band Marillion played for the first time in this important spot in London. They sold out this show within only four minutes. It was a very special concert for Marillion and they carefully chose the list of songs. But they didn’t doubt to play their last album completely. The band released a new album called “F.E.A.R.” (Fuck Everyone and Run) in 2016. The work is a concept album about the social and political current situation. It’s a hard review about the current greed lobbies who manage the world. Despite nowadays progressive rock is not a popular music, newspapers talked very well about “F.E.A.R.”. The work reached the forth place in the British charts. It’s not usual that a band with near 40 years of history, releases a new album and their fans regard it like one of the best works in the Marillions’ career. But the British band didn’t only play their last album. They offered a second part playing several hits with a fantastic surprise: a string quartet with flute and French horn turn up in the middle of the stage. The fusion between rock and classical music was delicious! Maybe Marillion is currently living one of the best times in their career. .
May 29, 201821 - Lost in space “Lost in space” is a new science fiction series by Netflix. The series has an only season, which consists in 10 episodes. The story of “Lost in space” happens in the near future. The plot is easy: The earth has received the impact from a meteorite and the life is becoming more difficult in the blue planet. The most qualified people has the chance to travel to a new planet, but the voyage will be full of danger. The Robinson’s family will have the challenge to reach a new planet where they can survive. I think this series is not a masterpiece, but the story is interesting. The actors aren’t well-known, but they are good. Besides the main characters aren’t the usual cool family, they have a strong personality and they have a complex relationship. It’s a series that you can watch with your children, which is a skill that I regard very important. Nowadays it’s very difficult to find new series that adults and children can enjoy it together! .
