Having lots of friends

Dear Editor

Social media have many advantages such as you can see a lot of photos of your friends, you can inform for a lot of news and you can chat with your friends.

For example, if you go for a walk, you can share photos to your friends (and they can like the photo or write a comment), you can send a message in order to ask sth. or to organise sth. You can also to see photos of a lot of places of the earth in travelling accounts and you can read a lot of news on news sites’ accounts.

But there are some disadvantages and some dangers. One of them is that there are some fake accounts that they can hack your account. For this reason  in the using of social media.

My opinion is the social media have some disadvantages but they are good and useful.

My favourite hobby

My hobby is playing video games on my PS4. This hobby is a little hard to do because there are players who are not very good but there are so many good players. The name of the game is Fall Guys and if you learn how to play it you will be a good player. This game is funny, trolling,raging and exciting to play

 

ESSAY RUBRIC

Dear Mayor,

The reason I’m writing to you is that I wanted to tell my opinion, Its about the new law.

In my point of view what you’re doing its not right. I’m thinking that you should ban this law and about the fight in the bus could happen and with his phone in his pocket, he could listen to loud music in his headphones and could upset someone. What I’m trying to say is that there’s no difference at all if someone has is phone out of his pocket or not.

We can take it and in a different way. A lot of people do their work threw their phones and sometimes in their way to work or home, with that law they won’t be able to do it. Also nowadays when people get bored they play games on their phones, they could also read a message either sending one. that id important and what if someone wants to get his phone out to call or accept a call, on the other hand, he could want to change the song that he is listening to.

In my opinion, you should let people use their phones while they are on the public because there are a lot of things to do that need to do.

With your understabding,

SUMMER HOLIDAY

Hi Mr Mike,
My holidays were amazing, I went to Molyvos, I was there with my family.

There’re a lot of things that I can say that were amazing but the most one was parachuting, so one day me and one friend of mine thought that it was a great idea to go and so we went to the hotel with that water sport to trie it out. We were standing next to each other and the boat started to go away so we can get off the ground. While we were in the sky it was AMAZING. It was like I had the ability to fly, I’ll never forget something like that.

Some other highlights are that me and my friends did a sleepover and we’re gonna do another one, I learned how to do a backflip and I made my frontflip better. Also, I went cycling which contended drops, jumps, getting up a hill and getting down one and a lot of wheeles and endos.

This summer is amazing despite coronavirus and the great part is that it’s not even finished.
See you soon,
Stratos k.

My new house in Evriaki.

This summer, we came to my new house in Evriaki. It is next to Ariadne hotel and next to the bay of Gera. I swim every day. It is so cool! My house is very big inside and outside. We have a big garden, a dining room, two bathrooms, a kitchen and four living rooms. Outside, the colors are red and yellow, and inside is yellow and white. My room’s colors are orange and green. I love it. My sister’s room and mine are my favorite rooms. A few days ago, we brought our cat Lousi. I love my new summer house and is more beautiful than my house in Mytilene.

Hobbies

In my free time, I draw images like the galaxy, sunsets, sunrises, animals and the sea. It’s a way to express my feelings. I close my eyes and I drive around the colours. In my opinion, drawing is my life.

Life without hobbies would be monotonous. We need them to get away from our problems for some minutes. Hobbies are the thing that we do in our free time, after a hard-working day. It is important to have free time doing something that you want to do and you enjoy doing it! Hobbies are also a great way to exercise and meet people.

I strongly believe that hobbies are something that you do to relax, like knitting or to do something extreme, like skydiving. But the most important is to enjoy it, like how I enjoy drawing. Every single parent has a hobby that he does by his own that it relaxes him.

Our crazy journey

Once upon a time, I was with my parents, we were preparing our staff to go back home. So, we took our car and drove to the port. Our ship was leaving at 8 o’clock and for no reason, it left 10 minutes before. So we had to wait until another ship that goes to the same destination as the previous ship to come. We waited for hours until the other ship would come. And we went in.

Some hours later when we were close to the middle of the ocean, it started to have a lot of wind. The ship was old and it didn’t have much power, so it was moving lot from the big waves. The storage in the ship was going to the one side of the ship to the other side! Everyone thought that we would end in the water swimming, and almost half of the people in the ship were screaming and their thought came true. A big wave came to the left side of the ship and it took the ship in it. When the wave passed we started to sink so everyone run fast to the lifeboat. Some hours later another boat came and picked us up, it drove us to our home town safely. We felt extremely relieved as we drove.

THE BEST HOLIDAYS I HAVE EVER HAD

The best holiday i always have is when i visit my father’s place Trikala. Me and my family every summer visit grandparents and spend most of the time with them. I am always  happy  to spend my summer location with my father’s parents.The place is very nice. Grandfather takes me for tracking and other mountain activities with his dogs.Grandmother prepares our favourite meals every time.

Last summer was the best i have ever had.My sister,brother and i spend more than two months with our grandparents.So we had plenty of time to do interesting things with them.We visited the monasteries  of Meteora , we went for swimming in the man-made lake of Plastiras. We also went for camping with some friends,on the prairies of Pertouli. We went for tracking on the mountains,cycling and other sport activities in the big athletic park, in Trikala. It was very nice that i met all my friends and old classmates and we had a good time each other. But the best part ever was when my cousin Paris traveled from Lesvos to be with us for a week.

I hope this summer vocation will be as good as last years.We have interesting plans!

A special place for me

Hey Sam,

 

It’s my pleasure to help you. A special place for me is where scouts gather, it’s a near the docks or you can say next to the football field.

 

When you approach it, it looks like a small wooden cabin and a white container near ACS, surrounded by some green aluminium fences.

 

For me it doesn’t look like this, its two buildings fool of memories that will keep creating new ones. It’s a place that I can say that my life began. The reason that I’m saying that is because this place is where I met and made my best friends if I hadn’t decided to go to scouts I wouldn’t have met them and my life would have been a lot different without them right now.

 

With friendly love,

Stratos

Is homeschooling better than school

Some parents teach their children at home rather than sending them to school. Having your parent as a teacher can be awkward, but also you will feel lonely because you won’t go to school so you cant make friends from there. Moreover, some people say that a parent won’t do the same job with a real teacher and sometimes this will make the lesson harder and slower than the one with a real teacher.

 

Besides, what is important in life is making friends and that is difficult in this situation. you see from school almost all the friends we have come from there, because of all the hours we spend every day with them. Being in your house alone rather at school can cost you a lot(as we see). You can also make friends from other activities but the kids there probably won’t accept that you’re not going to school.

 

the most important thing in the world you can say is you have a job. In our days you cant find a job without a college degree and you can’t have one unless you’ve finished college, but if you don’t go high school you can’t have a degree for college. So if you don’t go to school you don’t have a job.

My job application

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I am writing to apply for the position in your camp that was advertised in yesterdays collage News. I am interested in this job because I like to work with children.

 

I am twenty years old and I am studying to be a doctor, more specific a medical examiner. Also, I have a good command of English.

 

I have work experience in this area, when I was younger I went to scouts and I was in the same position as you have requested, and I know a lot about games and sports. I’m sure I’ll be good at this job because of my experience and because I’m creative, patient, energetic and always happy.

 

I’d like to attend an interview. I’ll be available any day you want at afternoons. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Stratos Kout

I WISH MY TEACHER KNOWN

I’m almost 13 years old.I have a great family, i live in a nice neighborhood of Mitilini, i go to a school that i like and a have a few good friends.My parents are both doctors and because of their job they have to stay out of home many hours even for a couple of days.Me and my younger sister and brother stay at home sometimes i have to look after them.All in our family love and help eatch other. Fortunately we don’t have serius problems as health or financial difficulties.But this is for now.Since i was 6 years old things sometimes were different when my parent had to work at Athens our grandparents had to take care of us. So we,the children, had to spend more time in Trikala with my father parent’s or in Lesvos with my mother’s family.We had a very good time with our grandparents and cousins but sometimes i missed my parents very much.And the most difficult part is that i had to change school almost every year and have new friends from the beginning.Now i think that those little problems were the reason that in our family there is love, carelessness, confidence and the belief that we are one by the other even when there is distance between us .Our family is strong and mature. Now i’m lucky that i have good friends everywhere.
