'Paradise'

                      This is a review of 'Paradise', a Greek tavern in town where we went to celebrate a special occasion.

                      When we entered the restaurant, we were really impressed by the tasteful furniture and paintings, which there were there. Despite the decoration, the food was awful. For starters, we shared a salad, which had hair in it. For the main course, we had steaks and beef. Unfortunately, the meat had gone bad. In spite of this terrible food, the chocolate pudding for dessert was delicious.

                      The service was unsatisfactory, too. In spite of being very friendly, our waiter was rather slow and clumsy. We had been waiting for one hour before we ate and when the  waiter arrived, he dropped one of the three trays. 

                      In conclusion, I would not recommend this restaurant, and I believe that 'Hell' is a better name for it.

Restaurant review

'' DA GIORGIO '' 

          This is the review of " DA GIORGIO ", a restaurant in Siteia beach where we went to celebrate Christmas.
           When we entered at the restaurant , we saw a fountain at the middle of the restaurant and when we sat down the waiter came and took the order. In one hour the food was ready.We have ate all our food and the dessert. The dessert was very delicious; it was ice cream and waffle. 
         The service , however , was not very satisfactory . In spite of being very attentive , our waiter was a bit clumsy . He had already knocked a glass of water down on me , before we started eating and then he dropped my food.
           In conclusion , I would recommend this restaurant despite the poor service because it was friendly and good value for money.

TELEVISION COMPETITIONS 


Everybody knows they are exciting because some television games have questions about geography or history. I have entered one television game and I lost, but did it matter ? No I dont think it did .
             This kind of competitions have lots of advantages.   First of all , competitions can be informative because you can answer history questions and you learn about the middle ages, for example . Moreover  if you win the game , you will get a lot of money .
                           What's more , they offer  valuable experience to all , because players will remember the time they were on TV for ever. Finally, if you enjoy taking part in them , you spend your time on questions games and that is good because you learn things .
                         In conclusion , television games are good whether you win or lose . Why not take part and test your knowledge?

My favourite scene from Benjamin Button's story

   My favourite scene from Benjamin Button's story was when Mr Button was waiting to see his child in the hospital.The doctor and the nurses were preparing him for that he would face.When he saw his child that is was an OLD MAN he thought that it was a hospital joke!!!He didn't believe that his child wasn't a baby but an OLD MAN!!It was a really shocked time for him!Mr Button didn't want to take him home but he had to!!

Benjamin Button:My favourite scene.

      My favourite scene was when Mr.Button wanted to see his child so he asked the angry  doctor Keene if  his child was a boy or a girl and the doctor told him to see it with his two eyes.First of all,Mr.Button met a nurse sitting behind a desk and he asked where his child was.When the nurse understood that the man was Mr.Button got upset so he was thinking that something terrible has happened to his child.Now,he was impatient,he wanted to see his child,he couldn't wait more and the nurse pointed her fingers to the stairs where another nurse was.What's more this nurse went upset when Mr.Button told her who he was.Finally, the nurse told him that his child was an old man.

My opinion about television competitions.

  We all know that television competitions are popular and impress a lot.Personally,I think that they are waste of time and overrated.
   Well,I have never entered one of them.My cousin has.He took part in 2003.What's more,he did not win,so he came back home sad.Additionally,he told me that the people who took part were    immature,rude and they thought they were the best.
    In addition to this,the second reason I don't like television competitions is that I think that television competitions are not as informative as we believe.For example I have seen some of them and I did not learn anything.
     Finally,I believe television competitions are a waste of time and you do not learn anything interesting with them.In cocnclusion,this type of games are not exciting and the people who work for them can be rude.

My favourite scene from "Benjamin Button"

My favourite scene of Benjamin Button's story is when Benjamin's father, Mr Roger went to a clothes shop to find some clothes for his son.The shop assistant asked him what type of clothes he was searching and Roger said,for a six hours baby.Of course the baby clothes were not very useful.He asked for boys clothes but he didn't find anything large enough for his son so the shop assistant asked him how old his son was.Roger answered that he was 'sixteen' years old.Finaly he found a costume for Benjamin but the shop assistant told him that this clothes were only for parties and not for everyday wear.He bought the costume from the surpised salesclerk and brought it to he's "baby".

My favourite scene from Benjamin Button's story.

                  My favourite scene from Benjamin Button's story was when Mr. Button went to the hospital, in order to see his child. When he entered his son's room he was surprised. His son was an old man with white hair!!! Just then, his son said him 'Are you my father?'. This was one of the funniest scenes of all in the story.

A letter to Kylie

Dear Kylie,
 It was great to hear from you . If you do not know much about sharks and dolphins, you will learn a lot there at the trip. If you were lucky, you really enjoy it!
 First of all I want to explain to you that you will have a fantastic time there, but there are some dangerous things that you must be careful with. Although the sharks are very cute, I should warn you that you should not get too near them. If you are lucky, you will touch the friendly dolphins. When I went, I did not get seasick on the boat but other children got seasick so you must be ready for the trip (and take seasickness tablets). However, I had a fantastic experience.
 If I were you, I would take a camera/video with me to take photos and video because the view of the trip is pretty and I do not want to forget this experience. I suggest taking waterproof clothing because maybe you will walk when It rains. You will also need a suntan or hat because you will walk in the morning when the weather is shiny. It would be a good idea to take with you seasickness tablets I think they will help you or your friends. I hope you have a good time!
 I look forward to your reply and tell me how you spend your time on the trip.
 Kisses,
       Maria

A letter to Sean

Dear Sean,

   I am so happy to hear from you and that you are going to a Greek island.

   Last year I went to one of the most beautiful islands ,Santorini.If you have never ridden a donkey, this is the perfect place to do it.You can see the amazing sunset and you can swim in lots of beaches.Generally, in Greek islands the weather in summer is very hot and you have to be careful.Also you have to protect yourself from donkeys because sometimes they are little devils!!!

   I know that you are from north Scotland and you aren't used to hot weather, but you have to buy some clothes!Fist, you will need lots of T-shirts because it's very very hot in summer.What's more you will need shorts.You need insect reppelent because there are a lot of mosquitoes!Finally, the most important thing that you need is a hat to protect you from the sun.

   Well, I think that's all.If you want to ask me about something else, you can send me an email.I wish you to have a beautiful and amazing trip!

Best Wishes

Television Competitons

I think television competitons are very fun. Personally,I have always dreamt of entering one of them,especially when I was a little kid. Nevertheless,in my opinion,they are a little overrated.

I like the television competitions because they sometimes are informative. For example,when they ask you questions and if you answer wrongly,they show you the right answer,so you learn things.

In addition to this,you can win awesome prizes if you are good enough.For instance,if you answer the five first questions correctly,you will win 2.000$ or if you achieve 10 missions you will win a bike,computer,phone....

So television competitions are very fun,informative and you can win fantastic prizes,but there are a lot of things that are more exciting than them,like extreme sports.
