The lost bag

   A sunny Saturday morning two friends,Sophie and Florence, (comma again) were going for a walk at the mall. While they were having an interesting conversation, (comma) they found a bag on the street. (full stop) They looked in the bag to see if  there was an ID card or something like that in it.Well,they found an ID card and on it was written all the information about the owner of the card was written on it. there was written the phone number of the owner was there ,too.So the two friends called here that number and they gave the bag back to the owner back.


Well done, blogger! You can copy the text and the corrections on your writing notebook so that you will remember them. Christina 💕

A review of a book

  The title of the book is"My grandma the thief" and the writer is David Williams who is the number 1 of children's book writers in Great Britain. I chose this book because it's one of my favourite.
  The story is about a kid called Ben who is bored because he has to meet his grandma every Friday. Her T.V. is not woking and she only wants to play Scrabble. Suddenly, Ben discovered something that it changed everything.He discovered that his grandma is a world famous thief and her dream is to stole steal the "Jewelery of the crown". Then, (comma) Ben convinces his grandma to do it together.That's when the adventure starts!!!
  I will recommend it to every kid of my age because this book is very interesting, funny and exciting!!!!

What a great way to celebrate International Children's Book Day, Leo! Well done!  Christina 💘

My top tip for a holiday

   Last summer I went with family to Italy.It was amazing.We visited lots of beautiful sights like colosseum,Pompei and the two volcanoes of Aitna and Bezoubios.It was really nice but colosseum was a little bit boring.Anyway,when we arrived to Italy i realised that i forgot to take my camera with me,so i didn't take photos of the beautiful sights which we visited.So if you go on holidays with your family you must take your camera with you.

------------------------

These are the changes I am suggesting. You can compare the two versions of the text:

   Last summer I went to Italy with family to Italy.It was amazing.We visited lots of beautiful sights, COMMA  like THE Colosseum, Pompei and the two volcanoes of Aitna and Bezouvios. It was really nice, COMMA but THE Colosseum was a little bit boring. Anyway, when we arrived to Italy, COMMA I (always capital) realised that I had forgotten to take my camera with me, so I didn't take photos of the beautiful sights which we visited.So if you go on holidays with your family, COMMA you must take your camera with you.

------------------------
Romanos, you also forgot that this was supposed to be a two-paragraph text, right? In the second paragraph, you could describe an experience you had during your holidays which proves that your advice is good. Look again at the sample writing on the student's book to understand better.

Another note: GO TO+ place + with whom (there is a specific word order in English!)

I think you can rewrite the text by correcting the mistakes and adding at least one more paragraph. OK? You can do this, amazing blogger! Christina 💖

A story with 3 pictures

Μια μέρα δύο φίλοι Michael και Mary περπατούσαν στο δρόμο όταν είδαν μια τσάντα στο πάτωμα. Ήθελαν να μάθουν ποια ήταν η τσάντα. Έτσι κοίταξαν την τσάντα και ένα σημείο είδαν ένα δελτίο ταυτότητας. Αυτή η κάρτα λέει ότι η διεύθυνση έτσι οι δύο φίλοι πήγαν στην διεύθυνση που λέει. Όταν έφθασαν το έδωσαν στη γυναίκα. Η γυναίκα τους ευχαρίστησε και άφησαν το σπίτι της γυναίκας.

Καλά κάνει John! Αυτή είναι μια μεγάλη προσπάθεια! Ακολουθούν οι προτάσεις μου για κάποιες αλλαγές:

ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΣΗ ΣΕ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ, έτσι οι δύο φίλοι πήγαν στην ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΣΗ. Όταν έφθασαν, το έδωσαν στη γυναίκα. Η γυναίκα τους ευχαρίστησε και έφυγαν από το σπίτι της γυναίκας ΧΑΠΛΗ.

A Friday evening: KET Writing

One Friday evening two friends, Mitchell and Helen were walking down the street (no comma here) when suddenly they saw a bag on the floor. They wanted to find out who it belonged to, so they searched it. At some point, they found a purse and inside there was an identification card. So they checked the address and when they found the house, they gave it to the woman that had lost it. She thanked them and then the two kids/children left.
                                                         

THE END

Wow! Well done, blogger George! Excellent piece of writing! 💪
