It was difficult to choose due to the high quality of the translations done but in the end our participants in the contest were: Raúl Balfagón, Paula Heredia, Pau Monterde, Edna Ripollés and Claudia Taroncher.

Good luck to all our students who have There were 54 centres participating in Spain participated and now they will tell us about and the translation test had to be carried out their experience in the contest: simultaneously in all participating schools

3-4-5 Raúl Balfagón At first I wasn't sure about it but I finally I think that the experience that we have had is agreed. very interesting and good for us because it First we had to do a little test with other 10 has helped us in our English level. Moreover, classmates of this high-school to choose only it has also taught us another way to see how 5. I passed and I took part in the official one the job of translation really is. and now we had to compete with other spanish high-schools, and in the case someone of us wins, we would have to compete at a European level.

It was my first translation but it was a pleasant and educational experience and I liked it very much. We had two hours to translate a very long text. It was kind of difficult but finally we did it. Now we only have to wait for ther results. It would be nice to be at least in the top ten!

Paula Heredia Edna Ripollés The opportunity to enter in a translation Despite knowing it was pretty difficult to win contest has been, for me, very important. The this competition, we all did the translation with contest is difficult to win (there are a lot of great enthusiasm. I think it has encouraged us people around Europe translating at the same to do our best and try to improve a little bit moment as us), but I learnt about some more our English. It has been a really good idioms and words with it, and that is enough experience. for me. However, translating is something that you have to take with calm and without being Claudia Taroncher nervous, because by failing a word, you can I'm going to relate my experience about the change the meaning of the entire text, and as translation that a few students did in the high a consequence, the translation will not be the school next month. When I heard that we same as the original one. have the chance to do a translation I thought that it could be a good idea, and

Pau Monterde exactly it was. I liked to translate and feel Our english teacher Javier told us if we like a translator for one day. wanted to take part in a translation contest.

Twinning is winning

Can anyone out there remember Jan’s surname? He was the chatty bloke who came over on the school exchange with the Belgian town. His dad was the mayor or something like that. I need to get hold of him because our class has decided to try to twin Worthing, Grado and Blankenberge. Town-twinning is part of the EU's Europe for Citizens programme that our teacher was telling us about the other day. As this is the European Year of Citizens, our teacher asked us to produce presentations for projects the class might run itself. After we had come up with four or five schemes, we voted for the one we thought the best. And twinning won! So, as mum comes from Grado, and I’ve been going there since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, it suddenly struck me that Grado and Worthing have a lot in common. Both towns grew up as seaside resorts in the nineteenth century; both of them had their heyday in the 1950s and both are now having to compete with package holidays and low-cost flights. That makes them obvious candidates for twinning. Then, Cheryl had the brilliant idea of bringing in the Belgian school too, since Blankenberge's also a seaside resort. When we googled the town (we haven’t been there yet), we found that it too had been built up at about the same time, and for the same reason! It’s likely to be facing the same problems, so they could pool their resources – sharing history and creating links.

I’ve already e-mailed the mayor of Grado (mum helped me to write it in Italian) and got a really nice reply back. He seems enthusiastic, wanting to hold seminars on things like food and wine. I don’t really see how Worthing can contribute much to any discussion on wine, but you never know. We’ve also contacted the mayor of Worthing, and she’s keen too. She reckons we could arrange language courses and create what she called a centre of excellence for tourism. So, now all we need is to get Blankenberge on board and we’ve got three towns in three European countries. This is why Jan's surname would come in handy. Although parts of the Blankenberge website are available in English (and loads of other languages as well), I think it would be a nice gesture to write to the mayor in Dutch, but my Dutch is non-existent. The school's going on the return trip in spring next year, but it would be nice to get some of the groundwork done before we go. Who knows? We could finish up dining with the mayor (I just hope his English is as good as Jan's!).

Look our students working hard while they were translating. Great work by the way!!
