Imagine that you are in Antartica

Dear Manos,

Well, here I am in Antartica ! The journey here was difficult and exhausting because Antartica is far away from Greece and we were travelling for many days.

Yesterday,we met some scientists doing experiments for the melting of ice during the last years .After that , we went sightseeing in the Dry Valeys. It was really cold ,so we wore really hot clothes.The Dry Valleys are well-known , because there has never snowed or rained.It was an experience of a lifetime.

Tomorrow ,we 're going to th Zavadovski Island and to the Paradise Harbour.Our tourist guide told us that on Zavadovski Island millions of penguins live. Also, he said that the Paradise Harbur is incredible, because the sight of huge icebergs is unforgettable !




Wish you were thre !

See you soon,

Lots of love,

Fotis







This is the Paradise Harbour .. I think it's amazing! What about you ? =)

Imagine you are in Antarctica. Complete the postcard to a friend back home.


Dear Georgia,



Well, here I am to Antarctica! The journey here was exhausting because we travelled for many hours. A good thing is that Antarctica isn't a country, so you don't need a passport to visit it.Also it was exciting and a great experience.



Yesterday, we went sightseeing. First we went to the Zavodovski Island which is approximately 5 kilometres ( 3.1 miles ) across with a peak elevation of 551 metres ( 1.808 feet ) above sea level. Also, it is an uninhabited volcanic island in the Traversay Islands group of the South Sandwich Islands. The view of two million penguins is incredible! We went to the Dry Valleys. The McMurdo Dry Valleys are a row of valleys west of the McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, so named because of the extremely low humidity and lack o snow and ice covered. It is amazing and scientists consider the Dry Valleys to be the closest of any terrestrial environment to Mars.

 

Tomorrow, we're going to visit another attraction : Paradise Harbour. I know a few things about it, but one of the most beautiful : the icebergs. There are huge cliffs of icebergs! Also, I have to tell you that here, in the summer it has daylight for 20 hours per day - luckily! This is the reason why we decided to visit Antarctica in the summer. In the winter, it's dark for almost 24 hours a day. Can you imagine that?




Wish you were here!

See you soon!

Lots of love,

Marina... <3

Ηow I started recycling

     After we'd finished the project on the environment at school,I knew I had to start recycling . During the project I found out how important it is to recycle and what types of materials I can recycle.Before the project,I threw away plastic,bottles,papers,glass,aluminium but now I know that all these materials can be recycled.

        I decided to recycle, because the environment is being polluted by lots of things but now many of those things can be recycled and used again.So, the environment will be protected.

       In my opinion,recycling is a little difficult,because you have to put lots of things in bins.Morover,there aren't many recycling bins in the streets.

      Now, most of people recycle and the cities are cleaner.Also, the environment will be saved from pollution.

     In conclusion, I feel very proud,because I learnt how to recycle and not to drop litter everywhere !

MOONDIAL

First of all, I have to say that I liked a lot this book. Also it's mine!

     My favourite scenes of Moondial were many including the end of the story and the scene where Minty faced her mother, who was in the hospital. This scene and all the things which Minty did to make her mother better were very sad, depressive and touching. Another thing I liked in this story is all the adventures that Minty and Tom got through together and the support that Minty showed to everybody in the story.

Moondial

My favourite scene is in the end when Minty and Tom and the girl with the purple mark are together and Tom and Minty gave to the girl a mirror to show her that the mirror didn't break and to understand that she is very pretty and her boss had lied to her. Then together they "fought" with her boss and they won!

Moondial


My favourite scene is when Minty were in front of a statue and met Tom who had his eyes large and frightened and that’s why Minty believed that he was ghost. I like it because Minty and Tom laughed while they were speaking. Also, I like it because Minty wanted to shake their hands to make sure that Tom wasn’t ghost.   




Are there any talented groups?


Dear Editor,

I recently read in your last newspaper an article about pop music. The writer said that there are no talented bands around and pop stars are more interested in making money. Personally I totally disagree.

For example One Direction is one of those talented groups. The reason for this is that all of the five members oh the group have great voices and they are trying to produce good music. Furthermore, their songs have brilliant lyrics with meaning.

In addition, Taylor Swift is one oh the pop stars who are interested in being creative. She is a new singer and her songs have very good melodles. She has also a good voice and that is why she has make it big.

To sum up, in my opinion there are bands around today that are talented and love creating music. I am sure that many readers would agree.

Yours faithfully
Georgia Assarioti.

Krassas' Restaurant


KRASSAS


IN HERAKLION IS A VERY GOOD RESTAURANT CALLED KRASSAS. IT HAS BEEN OPEN FOR MANY YEARS BUT LAST YEAR IT CHANGED SOME DISHES AND THE DECORATION. SO, I WENT TO SEE IT.

THERE IS A ROMANTIC AND LIVELY ATMOSPHERE. THE STAFF ARE VERY WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY AND THE SERVICE IS REALLY QUICK. EVERYTHING SATISFIED ME APART FROM THE FACT THAT THE PLACE WAS VERY NOISY AND I COULDN’T ENJOY MY NIGHT.

THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS AND TASTY. THERE IS A RANGE OF DIFFERENT DISHES, LIKE PASTA ONES. FURTHERMORE, THERE’S A GREAT CHOICE OF SALADS WHICH I LIKE VERY MUCH.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO EVERYONE BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE AND YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

FROM THE SCHOOL'S BLOG: VIDEO AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS CAROL

Our D' and E' Class students (B1+ level) are going to read Charles Dickens' story 'A Christmas Carol' and prepare their own post-reading activities about it in groups in order to take part in the reading competition organized by their French online friends and their teacher, Aniella Lebeau. Our lesson is meant to comprise these particular stages:

1) Students should first watch this video to get a general idea of the story. Can they guess what the end of the story will be?



2) Students can now read about the main characters of the story.

❄ Scrooge is a horrible, nasty and mean man. He loves money more than his life. He always counts his money but he never gives any to the poor people, even for Christmas.

❄ Fred - Scrooge's nephew is a very kind man. He loves Christmas. And he always invites Scrooge to his Christmas but his grumpy uncle never accepts the invitation.

❄ Bob Cratchit - Scrooge’s clerk is a very poor man with a large family. He generally works hard and he does his best to be a good clerk. But he sometimes gets into trouble because Scrooge is very strict.

❄ Tiny Tim - Bob Cratchit's young son is handicapped from birth. He always walks with a crutch. Tiny Tim is always cheerful. He never sits or plays alone because everybody loves him. His father Bob always looks after him after work.

❄ Marley’s ghost is always in chains because Marley is damned for eternity. Marley was horrible and nasty when he was alive. Now he is punished so he is very miserable.

❄ The 1st spirit is the ghost of Christmas past. He takes Scrooge back to his childhood. He always carries a light.

❄ The 2nd spirit is the ghost of Christmas present. He takes Scrooge to Cratchit’s house and to his nephew’s house where everyone is celebrating Christmas. This spirit is often sarcastic and ironical.

❄ The 3rd spirit is the ghost of the future. He takes Scrooge to his own tomb. He never talks or answers a question, he is so scary!

3) Some pictures illustrating the story can be found here.

5) The additional activities on the handout can be completed either in the classroom or at home. They will also help the students understand what they have to do in the following stage.

6) Students are divided into groups of three. Each team should have its own name. Having decided on the name, they should start making their own activities which can be of any type (multiple- choice questions, matching or gap-filling activities, etc.).

A robbery.

Dear Christina,
                    

  How are you? I haven’t heard from you for a long time. I’m writing to tell you about a robbery I witnessed.
  Yesterday night while I was sleeping I heard noises outside my bedroom. I panicked for some minutes and then I went out and I saw three men about twenty years old with hooded tops covering their faces.
  I couldn’t believe my eyes! The three men run away very fast with mum’s jewelry and our wallets and mobile phones. It was really frightening and I was shocked. We called the police and they came fast. Luckily they found the robbers and arrested them.
  It’s a hard and dangerous job to be a policeman. I don’t want to be one when I grow up. What about you? Write back soon.


Lots of love,
 Georgia.

An article about putting on a concert!

   
Putting on a concert

  If you have too much free time in the evenings why don’t you put on a concert. It isn’t difficult and it’s great fun.
  Firstly, you need to find who the singers are going to be and what instruments you will play. Next, you have to think about the music you are going to play. Will it de pop, rock or classical? Moreover, you should arrange what time the concert will be put on. Another good idea is to advertise your concert by putting up posters and deciding on the clothes you are going to wear.
  Furthermore, you can rehearse in a large hall at your school or in somebody’s house. It’s a good idea to practice regularly because only one rehearsal is not enough. In addiction, you should put on the concert clothes one day before to see if they fit you.
  Finally, when you’re ready you could invite your friends and relatives to come to see you.

Good luck!!!

The most effective advertisement

THE HEINEKEN WALK IN FRIDGE ADVERTISEMENT 2009

This ad advertises Heineken beer. I chose this commercial as one of the most effective because it is really funny. But is a commercial successful only when it is hilarious? Well, most of the times yes, it is. Generally people like funny things, so viewers will probably be more interested in a funny ad rather than a boring simple one. However, sometimes people remember only the funny thing that happened in the advertisement and not the product advertised, but in this one, Heineken beer is advertised in the right way. In my view, this commercial is the most successful and interesting ad I have ever seen.

Chinese New Year



The Chinese New Year is celebrated on the 23st of January and 2012 is the year of the Dragon ।The Chinese New Year is one of the most important celebration that happens in China.This celebration lasts 15 days!!!


According to the Chinese mythology, every 1st day of year the villagers had to fight the Nian which was a mythical beast.The Nian used to eat crops and children.But the Nian saw a child dressed in red and the Nian afraid of it , so the villagers every year were hanging red laterns in their doors to scare the Nian.The Nian got finally captured by a Taoist monk whose name was Hongjun Laozu

Every year people exchange gifts which
gifts include fruits (typically oranges, and never pears), cakes, biscuits, chocolates, candies, or some other small gift.
But the most exciting thing in the Chineese year in my opinion are the fireworks beacause they create beautiful clours when they are in the sky.
