A pizzeria review


   Most of us order pizzas in the evenings when we are with our family or friends.So I went to "Vero Pizzeria" yesterday.I was there with some friends,who had their opinions,too.

   The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.The staff smiled to us and told us to have a seat.They were very hospitable and friendly,too.The pizzeria was clean and tidy.It wasn't crowded.
   We ordered two pizzas and in seven minutes they were ready.They looked tasty.I thought that maybe I should eat them all.They were delicious and my friends agreed,too.It was great and I think that is a good value for money.

   I would thoroughly recommend the "Vero Pizzeria".The pizzas were amazing,the prises were reasonable and the staff was hospitable.Well done "Vero Pizzeria"!!!!!

Review

                        
                             Pizza house

             I visited a pizzeria yesterday. It's near my house and its name is "Pizza house". It has the best pizza I have ever eaten.
             There's a friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter. There were musical instruments and that fact made the atmosphere more lively. The staff always have a smile on their face and are very warm and welcoming. They were absolutely dedicated to their work. The owners were very hospitable and that thing made me more enthousiastic. The service was very fast.
               It's a clean and tidy place. It is beautifully decorated with nice drawings and vases with brilliant flowers. The decoration create a very attractive and modern place.
          There's a wide variety of dishes on the menu. The food smelled great and it was very tasty. Many of the mouth watering dishes were suitable for vegetarians and the owners had made sure all the dishes were low-fat and nutritious. This is healthy food and extremely delicious. Also, the foods were beautifully presentend and they were really good volue for money.
         I would thoroughly reccommend "Pizza house" to anyone who wants to eat something tasty. The food was wonderful and the prices were reasonable. It's a fantastic pizzeria!

Putting on a concert


Putting on a concert !

If you want to organise a creative event, you can put on a concert with your friends and enjoy it.


Firstly, you should decide on the people who will sing in the concert, such as famous singers, bands or if you prefer, teenagers of different schools who you can choose with a competition which you can create. Then you should select people who can play musical instruments well, so you will increase the quality of this concert. And, of course you should decide the kind of music which you think that will excite the audience. If I were you, I would decide pop music.
In addition, you should communicate with the people who will take part in the concert about the rehearsals and ask them to practise with you. You should also create the costumes which you are going to wear. Moreover, you must decide the time and the place. You had better choose the place or the time according to the season and events which exist around that time.
If you are sure that you have done everything, then you can invite your friends and your family to come and watch the concert. I'm sure you can do it!

                 The laughter 


Definition: The laughter is a spontaneous expression of  pleasant mood, which is manifested by contractions of facial muscles especially the mouth area and  it is usually accompanied by loud exhalations. 

  Most commonly, it is considered a visual expression of a number of positive emotional states, such as joy, happiness, relief etc. On some occasions, however, it may be caused by contrary emotional states such as embarrassment, apology, or confusion. 

  According to scientists, the laughter lowers the hormones,  which cause stress. Αlso, it tones up our spiritual health. Moreover, laughter reinforces the  immune, cardiovascular and the peptic system. Also, it exercises our abdominal and our stomach. Did you know that  in 1 hour of laughter we "burn" 500 calories? Yes, it is true! 

  A recent study showed that a monkey also has the ability to laugh. So, this thing means that the laughter has history over 10 billion years. 

  So, everyone should try to laugh more and more because:




 

 but always remember : 

Laughing is the best medicine, but if you are laughing for no reason, you need medicine! :D

Predictions about future!

TO: opinions@destination20140.com
Subject : Predictions about future

What do you think the house of the future will be like ?

The house of the future will be really comfortable even if you are not rich.The electrical machines will work only with the sound of your voice.In addition, the housework will be done by robots.Also, the furniture will be really modern and not really expensive,

What new jobs will have started doing by 2040?

By 2040, people will have reached other planets and they will work as astronauts.However, on Earth people's jobs may not have changed, but they may work with developed technology.

What job do you think you 'll be doing?

If you ask me, I think I will be working as a lawyer in an international company.I won't mind if I will be working as a teacher of English, because I like English too.

Give us your opinion on the future education.

Well, I don't think that the future education will change a lot. The only thing that I think will change, is the paper notebooks.I think that paper notebooks will have been replaced by e-books and e-notebooks.In addition, many countries in the world have already replaced paper books with e-books at schools, because they try to save the environment.

So what will we be watching and playing in 2040?More the same, only faster,bigger,better? Or will new forms of entertainment come along? Id television here forever? Will we still be going to the cinema in 2040?

In my opinion, in 2040 we will be watching the same programmes on TV. Also, I think people will watch movies and TV programmes on computer.We already do that, I think.As for sport, people will do the same sports , but better than now.Who knows, in 2040 new games will be played and sport will be a bigger part of our lives than now.As for the cinemas, I think people will still be going because cinemas attract people more than computers .


Thank you very much,

Fotis Markakis

Predictions for future!

To: opinions@destination2040.com
Subject: The future


Hello! I love the Destination 2040 website! Well done! 

I'd like to answer to the questions you asked.


1) What do you think the house of future will be like?

To begin with, by 2040 technology will have improved, so robots will appear in our lives. I believe that every house will have a robot to do the housework etc.  Although robots will make life easier, for me it's a gamble, because sometimes they might be very dangerous. Also, robots will make us all alienated, because of the fact that they will do everything. In that way, we will have only free time. As for the buildings, I guess that  there will be skyscrapers with many floors.  

2) What new jobs will we have started doing by 2040? What job do you think you'll be doing?

As technology develops, people's jobs change. In our days we have all the types of jobs, but then ( in 2040) new ones will appear like computer programmer, video games tester and generally all the jobs that will have to do with computers. Personally, I would like to become a philologist or a teacher of English. Also, I like biology. So, I will decide when I have to and not yet.


3) Give us your opinion on the future of education.

It's hard to guess the future of education, because by 2040 many things will have changed, but we don't know how! Moreover, it's possible that teachers will become a thing of the past and their place will taken by robots. Already, technology has intervened (technology is already used) in schools and in education, but probably by 2040 it will have intervened more.


4) What will we be watching and playing in 2040? More of same, only bigger, faster, better?

I believe that we will be playing more of the same, but faster, bigger and better, but also I believe that the specialists on this topic will have investigated more games on computers, iPads, iPhones etc. As for the movies, they will be played on digital TVs. 


5) Will new forms of entertainment come along? Is television here forever?

Of course new forms of entertainment will come along like some 3D games in our phones...Also, I think that television might stay forever, but it might not too. I mean that maybe our phones will have television in them, or that we won't need it, because of other ways of entertainment.


6) Will we still be going to the cinema in 2040? What kind of films will we be watching?

I thing that we will still be going to the cinema in 2040, or I want to believe it, because I love going to the cinema, especially with my friends. As for the kind of films that we will be watching, I guess that they will be the same.


7) Will we have more free time, or we will all be working even longer hours?


I think that we will have free time, even if more if robots appear in our lives. Also, I don't believe that we will work for many hours in the future, because our life will be easier with technology, but I think that work might be a little bit more difficult if you do not know how to use the computers. 


Thank you very much.
Bye!
