THE BARCOLANA: (Historical entry.).

The Barcolana is a very important event that happens in Trieste every year. The Barcolana is a sailing race and usually the bigger your boat is the faster you will go. The Barcolana was founded a lot of years ago by a gruop of friends and it was done evry year after that until now. There are two types of Barcolana's: the Barcolana Joung and the normal Barcolana. The Barcolana Joung is for the very little boats, only for optimists and it is a race for beginners, it is a race to see if you like sailing in the sea. I tried it when I was jounger and it was a fantastic experience! And then there is the normal Barcolana which is for all of the other types of boats. I partecipated even to this race and it is amazing how the bigger boats arrive hours and hours before the other boats, however, even this was a fantastic experience! But, I preffered the normal Barcolana because you are in a bigger boat and you go much more quicker than an optimist, and in a big boat you have always something to do! They are both two wonderful contests! The Barcolana is a very famous race and also very important boats partecipate to this race, like for example the Alpha Romeo, and many other important boats. They are two wonderful and fantastic contests, and like always, the best one wins!!!!

MAGNETS: (science entry).

In science class this year we studied a lot of things, but the thing that interested me the most was the subject of magnets. A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. It can be in the form of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Permanent magnets generate their field by themselves. They can occur naturally in some rocks, but hey can also be made by humans. Electromagnets instead generate their own electric charge, and as it increases, so does the magnetic field. Magnets are attracted or repelled by other materials. A material which is strongly attracted to a has a high permeability, like for example iron and steeel, and an example of low permeability is liquid oxygen. Everything has a permeability!!.

THE PROMESSI SPOSI: (italian entry).

In Italian class, we are studying Manzoni which was one of the best story writers in the world. He wrote a lot of stories, but one of his most important stories is The Promessi Sposi. For example The Promessi Sposi was written by him and the story talks about Renzo and Lucia which are in love. They want to marry but, Don Rodrigo doesn’t want because he is in love with Lucia. So, he sends two of his servants to convince the priest not to mary them. The preiest is afraid and says that he will not mary them. Then, Renzo discovers this and tries to stop Don Rodrigo, but since he is one of the rulers of that place he decides what he wants. Then another priest comes and helps them. Then, the story finishes when Renzo and Lucia mary and everyone is happy!!.

SNUG, MOTHE AND THE SOUND ASSISTANT ROLE: (arts block entry).

In the paly A Mid Summer Night Dream, by William Shakespeare, I am Snug (the lion), Mothe, and the sound assistant. Snug, is not a very intelligent person, in the play he wants to be the lion because he has only a few lines. The only thing that he has to do is ROAR to Thisby and present himself as the lion. Then, I am also Mothe, which is a fairy. I am at the service of Titania and Oberon, and I have to obey at every order that they give me. I choose this partrt because it was a nice part and you didn't have to speak a lot! And, I am also sound assistant, I am the helper od Michele. Togeher, during the show, we will change the sound, and we will do a lot of strange effects. I really like my parts in drama, because they are short, and becuase I am also a tec - master. I hope you will enjoy watching us, and I will see you at the theatre!
