Living in an island, you are open to many unique and different festivals. Every year they are numerous events in which thousands of people participate in. Ouzo festival, sardela festival, many Easter customs are the most common. Today I going to takk about a very unique one !

It is not very known but all the families on the island from generation to generation are well informed about it. I an talking about the burning of the yeast wreaths the day before the birth of Saint Ioannis.

This tradition is celebrated ath the 23rd of June. Every year people burn the wreaths at the fire and then they jump above it. The reason they do it is that the married women has to jump with a a stove on their head so as, after it they will have a good health. Also, the unmarried women have to do it too, in order to find their life partner.

This was one of the uncountable customs that the island and the country have. Although, I have to admit that passing through the years we sometimes forget to celebrate them. It is important to preserve our cultural identity. It features who we are. Our country is known by them. Not thinking about them, maybe we are going to lose the country one day.

To sum up, I firmly believe that we should keep celebrating our traditions and not forget about them. If every country do not preserve her customs, the whole world will become one huge culture. Without any differences or unique habits. So, try to love your country and represent her with glory!

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter for you, in response to your question at the magazine. You asked to write about the fact, if we know someone who had higher education. Well, let’s do a flash back!

Talking about my family, all the adults have been to university except for my father’s parents. So, in comparison with my mother’s parents they had less opportunities in life for a better job. Both of my mother’s parents have been to university, my grandfather was a biologist and my grandmother was a graffic designer. They got good job prospects and a high salary for that time. Also, they enjoyed themselves every time they went for work. The pleasure from work satisfaction is what they loved the most. The feelings they radiate when they are talking about their jobs are incredible. Now, they are both retired years ago and the retirement they receive, allows them to do everything they want.

In our days, in order to get a great job you must go to a university and have a degree and even more a master degree. When you are well informed about your subject many companies are going to argue for you so as to be their employee. So, you get the job you want with a high salary and you life would be as you have dreamt. Of course, you have to study what you really like and not work on something only for the money. The experience you receive from a higher education opens you the biggest doors in life.

I hope, you found my letter interesting and with fingers crossed let me know if you like it!

Yours faithfully,
Maria Liadaki

We are in the middle of the summer and extremely high temperatures have made the people of Europe swearing every day. The heatwave has started the previous week and it is going to get hotter and hotter. Countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece have pointed the highest temperatures and especially in Sicily. Residents of the UK are describing the outside world as an oven.

You all have to hydrate yourselves many time in a day, because hydration prevents everybody from heartstoke, cardiovascular and other diseases. Also plants need water because they are going to wilt. Protect your cars, motorbikes and houses with tarpaulin screens.

This summer will be blistering hotter than the other times.

You may be surprised to hear that the real meaning of tourism have changed. This stereotype that tourism is severe for a country because of the cultural issue, is not valid anymore. For now on, countrys with many numbers of toursm have other problems.

The first text discusses how much modern tourism have benefit the countrys in different domains such as the diversion between humains. Moreover, tourism not only grow the population which in a way that’s good for a counry but also many tourists have helped many quaint village from their extinction. That’s why, deluxe countrys have plenty of money because of toursists visiting all this distinct scenery of a place. There is no time to kill.

The second text raises the issue of the effects of tourism at countrys such as the overpopulation which cause the overproduction wich also cause the pollution. All this flights or the massive numbers of vehicules on the road ipmact a lot of the air quality at country. Furthermore tourism affects the local industrie too by converting small old businesses. But neither locals or tourist overlook it. It’s like a raw deal.

To sum up, if governments communicated and took firmer actions, tourism will only be a benefit for a country but as a famous writer said ” a leopard never changes its spots.”
