The 1st Oral Presentation!

Hi!

I’m Jordi and I will talk about one off my hobbies, the handball.

History

Handball is a team sport where two teams of seven players each pass and bounce de ball trying to throw in the goal of the opposing team. This sport is played on a court forty meters long by twenty meters wide. The goals are surrounded by a near-semicircular line what is six meters away from the goal. There is a dashed near-semicircular line that is nine meters from the goal. Only the defending goalkeeper is allowed to step inside the six meters perimeter, though any player may to catch and touch the ball in the air within it.

In the team, there are two wingmen, a center-left and a center-right, a center and a pivot.

The team handball game was formed by the end of the 19th century in northern Europe, primarily Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden.The game has been played internationally since the 1920s.

In Catalonia, this sport was formed in Granollers. In the actuality, there are two important handball teams in Catalunya, BH Granollers and my favourite team, FC Barcelona.

My favourite player are Juanin, he is the left-wingman in FC Barcelona. There are the best. He is very agile and fast.

But I played in the CH Esplais of Castelló d’Empúries since 1999.It was born in 1996. It is 11 years. I’m a wingman.In this season, we have won one match and we have lost two match for one goal.And the last Saturday we lost for 5 goals.We coached four hours in the week, two hours at Tuesday and too two at Friday.And the evenings Saturdays we play the handball match. This Saturday we don’t play.Every year the club organize meetings that every body can participate. And the last meeting my team was seventh.

Now, I will present my team.

Joaquím: he is the goalkeeper, he has good reflexes.

Bernard, Batlle and Andreu: they are the pivots. Bernard and Batlle take advantage for his height. And Andreu are short but is fast.

Èric, Marcos, Robin, Adrià and I: we are the wingmen, we are agile and fast.

Pont, Gerard and Eudald: they are the left and right centers. They are high and have got a good jump.

David and Galí: they are the centers, they are fast and they organize the team.

And this is my handball team. We are round the bend but we are the best.

The End!
