The Spanish Civil War was a war that enfronted the government of the Second Spanish Republic, which had the support of left politic groups, against the army and right-wing politic groups. It was an historic conflict of the twentieth century where Spain suffered the military sublevation and subsequent civil war that represented the culmination of all the contradictions of social, political and ideological society that had been generated in the course of previous decades.

 The war began with a military attack on 17 July 1936 at the barracks in Melilla, the next day spread in all the state. President Santiago Casares was replaced by Jose Giral, who ordered the distribution of weapons among the civilian population, faciliting the defeat of the rebels in the main industrial centers, Madrid and the Mediterranean cities, but the failure of the revolt led to a long and bloody war.

The war ended with Franco's victory on 1 of April 1939 and becoming into the dictatorship of the General.

The dictatorship was long until the dead of the dictator Franco, the year 20 November of 1975.

APLEC OF THE SNAIL

Last week we went to Aplec of Snail with some friends, it started two weeks ago i think that it started the twenty-first of May, and it was in the Camps Elisis.

It was a little bit boring, because there weren't many groupe to listen or danc, so the only thing that we can do was walking up and down through the camps Elisis. We went to a "penya" (groupe of friends) to get funny with the  friends and drink Fanta and Cocacola, well , i only drank Fanta, because Cocacola is awful and cangerigene.

Finally we decided that the next year we are going to create a penya with all our friends, because we did a reflection: if you haven't got a "penya" you have no party. Otherwise, is very difficult to create a "penya" so we need people; we encourage you to participate in, you only have to call to this number: 665071813,this is Maria Serveto's telephone number, if you need something, you should call her!!

Olympic Games

This year, the Olympic Games are going to be organised in London. It's a very ancient tradition, because it was first organised by the Ancient Greeks. But nowadays it's not an annual competition, it's done every four years, and there are lots of different sports.

Some of this sports are: tennis, swimming, football, basketball, running, waterpolo, rithmic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, jumping...

The symbol of the Olympic Games is five circles of different colours that represent the continents.

The starting of the Games is widely known: an athlete runs with a torch, lit in Greece, until he arrives to the place where the Olympic Games are going to be played, and with it an enormous fire is lit.

In 1992, the Olympic Games were organised in Barcelona. Some of the athletes that are going to participate in the Olympic Games this year are: Craviotto (from Lleida), Usain Bolt (from Jamaica), Rafa Nadal (from Mallorca), Michael Phelps (from USA)...

Our favourite sport is swimming, because we've always liked it, and sometimes we had woken up at four o'clock in the morning for seeing the competition.
