Japanese Anime!

   People could say that cartoons are like animes.They look the same and they have a lot of diferent episodes.Today I'm going to talk about an anime Called Fairy-Tail.Fairy-Tail is is in my opinion the best anime.Fairy-Tail's plot is about wizards and dragonslayers that grow and become stronger and stronger.Most of the wizards in this world called Fiore are in a guild.Guild is a group of usualy powerful wizards that are gathered together to train and make their guild the most powerful in Fiore.Wizards could have diferent kinds of magic from each other or maybe the same sometimes.On the other hand, Dragonslayers are more rare.They are supposed to have been trained by dragons when they were kids and they have now the ability to use the dragon's magic.There are a lot of different kinds of dragons and every dragonslayer has the magic of the dragon that trained him.

  In the video below you can see four dragonslayers fighting each other.They are two from the Fairy-Tail guild and two from the SaberTooth guild.The first one from the Fairy-Tail guild, the fire dragonslayer is Natsu.The second one is Gajeel the iron dragonslayer. At the other side, SaberTooth's first dragonslayer is Sting, a white dragonslayer.And the second one is Rogue, a shadow dragonslayer.

Internet and social networking

   Everybody now is using the computer. Peοple have at least one kind of new technology at home or in their working place. But is the interet and social networking safe?
   To begin with, children and especially teenagers spend too many hours in front of the computer screen. That might damage their eyes or cause them to have some other health problems. Also, the passionate net users might be unsociable because they spend most of their time chatting than talking to other people outside. They "become" part of the computer and they may lose their real friends. Their parents advise their children to stop, but they only thing that they succeed in is to make their children angry with them.
   However, the internet has its bright side. For example, some children cannot express their feelings face to face and chatting with friends is a way to achieve that. Moreover, (comma) they can look up for information and improve their language. Every person wants to keep up with everyone's news and that's why they turn to the social networking places.
   Taking all this into consideration, I think that parents should let their children be at (use) the computer for some hours because it is good to talk with their friends or learn new things by surfing on the internet. It must be noted that children and teenagers must be responsible so that they will prevent avoid health problems or losing their real friends.

Japanese anime

I think that everone here have seen cartoon! But how many have seen anime from Japan which are all awesome. They are all extraordinary and special. None of them have the same plot or setting that's why I've seen 7-8 kinds of them. Every anime series has between 200-800 episode. One of my favourite anime from all of them is Naruto. I like it most because they have some insane power and I like the villains more :D
Here's is a video of my favourite Naruto episode and the one named Uchiha Madara is the strongest villain ever existed. Just watch how he can beat about a whole ninja anbu on his own! I'm sure you'll love it.

My secondary Hobby

First of all, my second Hobby that I do when I have free time is doing freestyle with a football. It involes hitting the ball as many times as possible , not letting it fall down and of course do some tricks with it in mid-air! I ussually practise at my neighbourhood and sometimes home. Also you don't need a lot of space for that.When I'm doing it i don't want anyone to interrupt me, because you lose control and of course the ball will fall down.The most fantastic thing is the feeling when you can finally be able to complete a new trick which it's very difficult and that you've managed to do it after a lot of effort. I used to do some easy tricks about 3-4 years ago but the last 3 months I've been practising to learn some new skills. It also helps me with football! The inspiration that led me to do that was my main hobby of course. It was football and some youtube videos as well! I do it about 3-4 times a week and I'm getting better day by day , but I'm still  at the semi-begginer level. My freestyle idols are two! The first one is Andrew Hederson who's from England and also he's the world's champion best freestyler in the air freestyle. The other one is Sean Garnier from France who's the panna master!I've managed to learn some new tricks from some tutorials at the Youtube, but still I want to get better and someday make my own Youtube videos!

Here are some videos about Andrew Hederson and Sean Garnier:

Meeting Patricia

 A few days ago our English class had the great apportunity to interview Patricia Johnston! She's an American woman who leaves in France. She's a very talented musician and a lyrics writter, too! Her job is music company and also managing young talents and also older ones. She also plays the violin at high level notes. For us it was a very good experience not just to improve our English speaking ,but also to talk to a person from another country who's also a professional artist. Patricia also loves jazz anf mostly folk music  which I don't really like, but in my opinion it's the kind of music that she can express herself! 

By the time we were little kids, at our English shcool we are used to doing a celebration at the end of the school season where we are given some roles to play and also at the end of it we sing a song. Well 7 years ago our English teacher chose a fantastic song for kids and it turned out that it was written by Patricia Johnston! Seven years from then and I still remember most of the lyrics, because some things are just unforgettable! That was all from me. I'm sorry that I can't tell you about the artists that Patricia manages , because I couldn't find them and I finally wanted to tell Patricia to keep on doing what she does. You do a great job Patty,good luck!

All in all, I got very pleased with our discussion.We asked her some questions about her job and she answered happy in all of them!I hope, we'll have the chance to have a conversation like that, soon.

~Talking about music on skype with Patricia Johnston: My impressions~

 A few days ago, we had the opportunity to discuss with the musician, artist manager and company director Patricia Johnston about her job and ask her some questions we might had. It was an amazing experience. Not many people have the opportunity to communicate live with other people from different countries and speak English with them. A big thanks to Ms. Christina Markoulaki who managed this "meet up". 

 Patricia answered to all of our questions and she told us some things about her job. She also introduced us some mucisians who personally, I really liked. 

 First, she introduced us Gilad Hekselman, a young talented guitarist, who is specialised in jazz music. Here's a site where you can find some useful information about Gilad's Summer Tours 2014, a photo gallery with some photos of Gilad, download some Gilad's songs e.t.c. Gilad Hekselman PRESS HERE TO VISIT THE SITE. My favourite Gilad's song is Gilad Hekselman- This Just In.

When we asked Patricia what her favourite kind of music was, ahe told us that liked all kinds of music but she loved listening to folk music. She mentioned us one of her favourite musicians Mory Kante. Mory Kante is a famous West African musician, best known internationally for his 1987 hit song "Ye ke ye ke".

 She also mentioned us Line Kruse, a danish violinist and composer who is famous worldwide. Every year she performs all over the world and she has a lot of fans. Here's a site where you can find every thing you would like to know about Line. Line Kruse PRESS HERE TO VISIT THE SITE.

 My favourite part of this duscussion was when Patricia told us about the kids music factory she runs. Almost everyone love kids music. Personally I adore it. I think it's so cute! So, she runs a kids music factory with songs obviously for kids. When we were younger, we used to sing these songs with Ms. Markoulaki and they helped us to improve our English. Here's the kids music factory site:

~Writing a Story~

I rushed along in panic. I was late again, and today was the one day that I really couldn't be late. The sun was rising. However, I had to go to the planet Mars before the sunset because the bad alien told me that I had three days to save the Earth from his terrible powers. Three days before the sunset I had to bring him the most precious diamond in the world. I was riding as fast as I could on the space road with my white horse.
   

Suddenly, five green, creepy aliens came to us and started fighting. While I was trying to kill an alien, another alien came behind me and hit me on my neck. I fell down. When I woke up, my horse wasn't anywhere. I was trying to find it for half an hour. I didn't know what aliens did to it.

 

I was very sad, but I had to complete my mission. So, I started running nervously on the space road, but it was too rough for me and I couldn't arrive in time to save the Earth from the aliens without my horse. While I was rushing on the road, I heard gallops. It was my horse. However, it wasn't a horse anymore! It was a well-built, big pegasus with enormous white wings and strong legs. It was more powerful than it was before.

It took me on its back and I started riding. I was exhasted, but we arrived in Mars. There was the Bad Alien with his guard. I knew that I mustn't give him the diamond. But what could I do? There was something that caught my eye. It was a big ball with a gap. The gap had the diamond's shape. I immediately threw away the diamond to that ball. It broke to a hundred pieces. All the aliens suddenly disappeared.

  

"Vasiliki wake up! Wake up!" I woke up. It was just a dream. My mum was pushing me. However, I didn't want to wake up. It was such a good dream.

1984 by George Orwell: A book that you must read!

 I'm not going to explain everything about this book because it has many surprises and it would be better to discover them by yourselves.

  You might not like the book because its cover is not very attractive but don't judge it by the appearance. The inside might be different from the outside.

  The story takes place in 1984 as the title mentions it. Winston Smith is the main character who lives in a world where Big Brother and the Party control everything: the citizens,the past... There are cameras everywhere and there is no freedom at all. You can't think or fall in love or even be sad. No natural feelings. They change and rewrite history so citizens can't remember the truth about their past. The other thing that they do is that they "create" a new language. They shape and limit people's ideas. Winston dreams of a better world. Will his dream come true?

  I haven't read all the book yet and I have a lot of questions, but I've loved it since I've started it. It is the book that you should have in your library. Also, there are a lot of movies based on the book.
