THE FONIX by Jordi Baró (1ESO)
Last Saturday 25th of February one
person of each level from 1ESO to 1BAT of the high school Jaume Vicens Vives,
went to the Fonix. The Fonix is a quiz of English they can go Schools and High
Schools of all Catalunya first you have to do an exam in your class and then if
you do really well and the teachers want to, you can go to the second pass, the
second pass you do another exam in the University of your town, and if you
pass, you go to the final in Barcelona.
When I arrived at the University of
Girona, I said : Oh my God !! How many people !!!, Then we checked-in and went
to the university class, the classes are very big and they are like in the
movies.
We took the exam, the exam was so
difficult but I think I did very well, when we finished we went outside with
our families and teachers.
For my the experience was
unforgettable because I was the only student of 1ESO to go and I see for the
first time a university class.
MY IMPRESSIONS ABOUT FONIX by Berta
Roca (2ESO)
The first person surprised to be chosen
to go at “Fonix 2017” was me. On Saturday 25th of February I went to Girona’s
Montilivi University to participate at the contest with other young
participants.
I took the exam and I was nervous,
but everything went well.
It was so exciting saw all of these
boys and girls in front of that enormous building ready to start the exam.
After it, we were all relaxed and happy.
It’s only a competition, the most
important thing is the experience. It doesn’t matter if we don’t win.
FONIX by Anna Benito (3ESO)
Last Saturday 25th of February I
went to the UdG to participate in the Fonix. I didn’t want to be late, so I
arrived there an hour before the exam started, as it was indicated on the
website.
When I arrived, there were plenty
of people waiting outside the building talking in groups. Then, we went inside
the building and waited for a man to call all the courses.
In my class, we were students of
3rd and 4th of ESO. When we finished, we went outside where our parents were
waiting for us.
I enjoyed really much this
experience. It was impressive to see hundreds of students of all the province
of Girona. The only thing that I didn’t like was that we had to wait a lot
until we could sit down.
FONIX 2017: Júlia Brugué (1 BAT)
Last Saturday 25th of February, some
students of other levels and I went to the Fonix, an english contest. I really
enjoyed the experience. We had to be there an hour before the exam started,
everything was really organised. It was such a good experience because it
taught me how to manage and organise my time, because you only had 55 minutes
to do all the exam.
There were people of all the ages
and high schools of the province of Girona, which was quite impressive.
The point of the contest is not
winning but the experience!
