The week that my partners of class stay in Madrid, I was stayed in Banyoles because I was decided prioritzing the race that would been for enter to spanish selection. I was pass a week with quite vervous because of competition.
The qualifying was started on Friday in afternoon. I wasn't been very nice, but for this reason there are the repechage when I was got classifying for semi-final.
I was enter to final B but I wasn't forget the oportunity of classifying for does one of the four best times.
I finish the race with a good sensation althoug didn't take me for the selection. I was remaining to four seconds to the fourth best time (that were this that taken the selection).
Now only I will think with make good results in the Spain Championships for will have another oportunity for enter to the selection.
I think that sex education in schools is good for students.
First of all, I think that it is important for explain students the importance and the preventions of sex. Boys and girls have to know that they have to made in the future. Also this is a form for taking out doubts and fears.
In conclusion sex education is good for young boys and girls. It can fairly help them.

With the Industrial Revolution (17th and 18th c), coal mining, a tiny industry in the 15th century, became a national and international industry. Thus, the 19th century was a century of massive expansion for the coal industry in Wales. But the end of the 20th century brought almost universe closure. Find information about1984 miners' strike
Coal was a nationalised industry and, as in most of Europe, was heavily subsidised. A number of mines in the United Kingdom were profitable and remained open after the strike, including some operating as of 2007. There were also a number of mines that were unprofitable and the government wanted to close. The viability of many of these mines was called into question but the government in a hurry to avoid any further losses closed many before reports were collated instead using temporary offers of increased redundancy pay to effectively blackmail miners into voting in favour of pit closures. In addition, many mines required efficiency improvements in order to attain or increase their profitability, which was to be done by means of increased mechanisation. Many unions resisted this as it would necessarily result in job cuts.
The strike became a symbolic struggle, since the miners' union was one of the strongest in the country. The strike ended with the defeat of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) by the Conservative government, which then proceeded to consolidate its free market programme. The political power of the NUM was broken permanently. The dispute exposed deep divisions in British society and caused considerable bitterness, especially in Northern England and in South Wales where several mining communities were destroyed. Ten deaths resulted from events around the strike, which is exceptional in the history of British industrial relations.

But he landscape was beautiful: the green mountains and on her laver slope I saw the cows as it drink in the meantime you are rowing. Oh my good! It's an extraordinary sensation.
The weather was very irregular. In 5 minutes it can rain, hot, could and winter.
