[SEConD ComPoSiTioN!]

Hi!! here you are a composition of one PAU exam. It's about Catalan language and culture. Enjoy it!


I will talk about the place where I was born and I live: Catalonia. Catalonia is a different region inters Spain with different culture and language.

Firstly, I want to talk about de Language, we speak Catalan, a variety of language born from Latin. It is very similar to Spanish, French or Italian but the principal difference is that Catalan is in danger of extinction. Historically, Catalan has been a second language for the inhabitants of Spain and, occasionally, it has been forbidden and pursued by the authorities.

Secondly, I want to talk about the Culture. I believe that the Catalan culture and the Spanish have many features in common, but at the same time it also has many differenties. We have the same government and the same laws but it hasn’t been always like this. Catalonia was born independent of Castilla and after, by a wedding, we had become a unique country. Politically it has been this way, but people's personality has continued being very different, be have different food, different humour, different personality, literature, musicians… a lot of things that made Catalonia a singular place in the world.

In conclusion, Catalonia have a very rich language and culture in a different way of the rest of Spain and it makes us special.
