The competition will consist of a written test about a specific topic (for example, geophaphy, history or music). There will be vocabulary, reading and writing activities around the topic. Moreover, in the final stage there will be a short speaking test too. 
There are three stages: the local stage (in our school), the regional stage (in each of the 4 regional capitals of Catalonia) and the final stage (in Barcelona).
