My Country
My country Greece is very beautiful. I am sure it is the most
beautiful in the world.
It has everything: sea, mountains, countryside, islands and
especially sunshine.
Without sunshine you cannot really enjoy many of these
things.
Everyone likes the islands. There you can find a way of life
that belongs to the past.
If you go to a small island or one far away, you will find
peace and quiet.
It is something you do not find in modern cities.
The sea is warm and clean and many tourists come to my
country for the sun and the sea.
I like to swim in the sea from June to August. It is quite
warm during the summer months.
One problem in my country is that the people leave the
countryside to go and work in the
big cities, which means that the cities are full of people
and cars and are often polluted and noisy.
However, the people in my country are friendly and family
life is still very important to them.
I like travelling to other countries but
I am always glad to return to Greece.

Christmas
Christmas is a religious holiday. It is celebrated on the
25th of December all over
the Christian world. It is a time of love and happiness.
For days before Christmas the house smells of baking and
cooking, as we prepare
the food to offer to relatives and friends.
We spend many Saturdays shopping for presents but there
always seems to be
something we have forgotten and we have to go out on
Christmas Eve.
One or two days before Christmas, I buy a Christmas tree and
decorate it with coloured lights.
Christmas Day is very special. We have turkey for lunch and a
special sweet after that.
Then in the evening we all go round to a friend's house and
play games. I always get several
presents which I open in the morning.
The holidays pass very quickly and we spend all our time
visiting friends and eating the
delicious cakes and sweets prepared for us….., We go for a
drive in the car and sometimes
we go out for a meal. Everyone has fun and because there is
no school, we can stay
out as late as we like.

A daytrip
We decided to set off for the beach at ten o'clock. We had
prepared everything: cold chicken,
ham, sausage rolls, bread, cheese, salad and bars of
chocolate. Finally, we were ready to go.
When we arrived at the beach, my brother immediately went off
to the rocks. He always spends
hours looking in small pools where he hopes to find crabs and
shells. I get bored by that
so I don't go with him.
The sun was shining so I decided to go for a swim. There were
children playing in the water and
shouting happily to each other while their parents stood and
watched. I love swimming and I am
not at all afraid of the sea. I swam out and out until I felt
tired, then turned my head and looked back
at the beach. My mother waved at me to tell me that I had
gone far enough, so I started to swim back slowly.
There were a couple of windsurfers on the water but there
wasn't much wind so they didn't go very fast.
Seagulls were flying and screaming at each other as they
looked for fish to catch.
Soon it was time for the picnic so we all sat down on the
sand and my mother handed out the food.
I tried not to get sand in the sandwiches because they don't
taste nice that way.
My mouth already tasted salty from the sea.
Later on I got out my ball and played on the sand. The sun
was hot on my back and soon
I was going brown.
My father complained on the way home about the sand in the
car but after a day at the sea,
all our clothes were full of sand.
My brother and I would have to clean out the car but we
didn't mind. We had enjoyed our day.

What I would do if I were rich
I don't really think that I will ever be rich but it is nice
to have dreams. Dreams of what
I would do if I were rich.
Firstly, I think I would buy my own house. I would decorate
and furnish it exactly as I like,
with beautiful furniture, soft carpets and thick curtains.
Each room would be a different colour and
have furniture to match.
Then I would like to buy a fast car which would take me to
places very quickly and in comfort.
I have always liked nice clothes so I would buy whole new
sets of clothes for every occasion.
I don't particularly want expensive clothes, just lots of
them!
I would be very happy if I had the money to travel abroad and
visit many countries.
Each year I would visit a different country. I would love to
see Japan, Australia, Canada,
Norway and many others. Only with a lot of money would I be
able to see so many.
As far as work is concerned, I would like to buy my own
business so that I wouldn't have
to work for anyone else.
Perhaps it would be a bookshop because I have always enjoyed
reading.
I would like to be able to buy all the books I wanted. If I
didn't work at all, I would get bored.
For the holidays, I would buy a house by the sea so that my
friends and family could spend the
summer together. We could also go there at weekends to get
away from the city.
All these are dreams. Perhaps one day they will come true.

A Visit to the Zoo
Last weekend my parents took me to the zoo. I was excited
because I had never
been to a zoo before.
We paid at the entrance and then we started to walk around.
Firstly, I wanted to see the
monkeys so we went to the Monkey Castle. There was a large
rock with monkeys on it,
all making a lot of noise and running about. There were some
baby monkeys too,
who held onto their mothers.
We walked on further and came to the snake house. Here we
went inside and saw many
different kinds of snakes, fat and thin, long and short. I
didn’t like the poisonous ones
but they were behind glass so I felt safe.
Outside again we saw elephants and giraffes, lions, tigers,
crocodiles with their rows of teeth,
and even bears ready to eat you! I had seen some of these
animals before in a circus but
now I was much closer to them. We were not allowed to feed
the animals but some people gave
the monkeys bananas.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, we all went to
see the sea-lions.
The keeper threw whole fish into the water and the sea-lions
swam quickly after them
and the fastest one got the fish!
I liked the monkeys best because they made me laugh, but my
parents liked the lions.

Apologize for not going to a friend’s party.
I can't tell you how sorry I am about last Friday. I was all
ready to come to the party
when the phone rang and it was my aunt, in tears, saying that
her husband had had
a heart attack and had been rushed to hospital.
Of course, I had to drop everything and go there immediately,
since she was
on her own.
All thoughts of anything else went out of my mind because I
was so worried about my uncle.
I love him very much and so do my family. Anyway I got to the
hospital and stayed there all night.
In the morning the doctors said he was out of danger.
Anyway, Helena, I hope you understand. I was so disappointed
to miss your party.
I hope it went well for you.
Ζήτα συγνώμη γιατί
δεν πήγες στο πάρτι ενός φίλου.
Ask a friend to do you a favour.
I would like to ask you if you could possibly do me a favour.
I know you often visit London
so I was wondering if you could buy me a copy of that book
you were telling me about
when you were here last time.
I don't think that I will be able to buy it around here but
I'm sure that you would be able to
find it in one of the big London bookshops. I would be very
grateful if you could do this for me.
There is no hurry for the book; just whenever you next go to
London.
I like to thank you in advance.

Get some information about language schools in England.
Martina you have told me that you have some English friends
who live in Brighton - I wonder if
you could ask them on my behalf if they know of any good
language schools in that area.
I would like to go to England next summer for a few weeks and
attend a school while I am there.
I would be so grateful if you could do this for me. Please
let me know as soon as possible
so that I can make plans for the rest of the summer.

HOROSCOPE
This is your horoscope for the next few weeks. I have to tell
you that you are going to have some
disappointments very soon.
Your best friend will be very unfriendly and will not speak
to you. This will make you very sad for a few days.
However, I do not think you should worry too much. After a
short time, your luck will change and you
will meet a great new friend who will be friends with you for
many years. Towards the end of the year
you will be lucky and win a lot of money and will be able to
enjoy yourself.
Here is some advice. Remember not to worry too much about
what other people think of you.
The important thing Is to have confidence in yourself. If you
are happy about yourself, other people's opinions
of you should not be so important. You should
go ahead and do what YOU think is right.

A Greek Island
Spetsai is prettier than many of the other Greek islands.
Much of it is covered with beautiful pine trees.
It is also a rich island.
Many people have fine holiday homes there.
There is one town, called Spetsai, but there are two
harbours. The one in the centre of town is
called Dapia and it is the centre of life there. The Old
Harbour, at the south end of town, is where
boats are still built. There is also one taxi, a bus and a
few cars. You can go about by horse-drawn carriage.
The horses have shoes made from old car tyres to quieten the
noise or you can go by boat.
The beach at Dapia is very popular.
Most people find a beach they like and return to it every
day.
You can also leave the island and visit the tombs at Mycenae
and the ancient theatre at Epidauros.
You can make an evening visit to see a play at Epidauros
during the yearly festival.
